Bartolini or Nordy fat stacks

ubone · #1 05-12-2010, 10:40 PM

Now here's a request your not going to hear everyday but seeing as how I'm not going to ruin a nice set of strings right now, but I do need some unobstructed, high resolution, straight on pictures of both the Nordie 6 string fat stack pups, and, or, Bartolini 6 string soap bars. I've searched the web high and low and for the life of me, can't find any that I can use for texture maps of a little something something I'm making in 3d. So my fellow Roscoe Heads I come to you, to ask if you wouldn't mind snapping some High resolution (BIG, CLEAR) pictures of at least one of them bad boys (like during a string change) I would be forever in your debt. When I'm done with this little project, I'll post the 3d renders of the finished model in all of it's glory.

Thank You..

Steve

Timing, or as Steve Martin would say...back in the day, when he was actually funny, timing.

String changes are scheduled for both sixers this weekend, so I'm happy to accommodate on the Barts, and maybe on the Nords.

I claim ignorance, as I bought this bass used, but I think it has DC's, and may not be of use to you. Gard...Steve...anyone...do you know for sure (s/n 5705 if that helps Gard in a lookup)? Here's some pics of the bass:

And just to make sure this bass will work for you on the Bart side of things, here's fertile
myrtle...

Just to confirm...straight on: similar to the shot above, but maybe with brighter lighting? Any other angles?

Jerry,
It has the DC's (although the oringial spec's didn't clarify.

* SKB 3006
* Ash body
* Maple burl top (Or is that Myrtle?? Well...it looks good whatever it is.)
* Straight Grain Maple fb
* Wenge/Yellowheart/Maple/Yellowheart/Wenge Wedge Neck
* Nordstrands
* Aggie OBP-3
* Black Hardware

Thanks, Joe. Sorry, Steve...no Fat Stack love on this end. I'm still happy to capture some pics if they'll be of any use to you, though.

Jerry
You, my friend, are the man. The DC's and the Barts are perfect for my needs.
Thank You in advance brother...

In case anyone is interested, here are some low-res versions of what I just sent to Steve.

Nikon D90 w/ 35mm f/1.8 lens. On tripod, aperture mode, ISO 800.

Full frontal @ f/5.6:

Angle shots @ f.7.1 (should've gone higher):

Post string-change shots, just to verify alignment of the ball-ends.

@ f/7.1:

I hope these work, Steve!

Glad you put their clothes back on, things were getting a little blue...

Killer pics of Jerry's killer basses. The man has skills I tell ya. Real Skills....
Thank You Jerry. Those pics are exactly what I needed. Now to finish my little project and then post the renders for Roscoe Head reactions and critique...

Someone, quick, while Jerry's not lookin', loosen every other string, turn the ball end a quarter turn, and tune the string back up to pitch.

Awesome pic's Jerry!

I'm tempted to send you my basses so you can take some pictures of them for me!

Not only that, when you were distracted by putting the ballends back, I snuck into your kitchen pantry and swapped your Reynolds aluminum foil for a store brand, but put it back into the Reynolds box so you wouldn't know...

...or did I????

(...that outta keep him busy for a while trying to figure out what kind of foil he's got for his hat making activities, and if it will work or not...

Marick has gotta be one unique lady if she calls you anything but four letter words.

And Jerry, while Gard was in your kitchen pantry, are you sure he didn't mess with all your soup labels? Are they correctly lined up properly, so when you open the door you can see this?

You guys are evil. I love that about you.

And I do prefer CDO. It's like OCD, but in the correct alphabetical order.

And, finally, yes, I do drive my wife crazy with some of this stuff. Mostly automotive-related, but I do give her more reasons to roll her eyes than she should have to accept.
