Here are three recent single cut basses I just completed. The two fretted ones have Audere 4-band EQ with split dual coild Nordstrand pickups. The fretless has overwound Nordstrand Big Single pickups with Glockenklang 3-band EQ |

Prior to install I was impressed by the quality of the actual components - lots of tonal adjustment on the 4-band. Each control has its own distinct band and add and subtracts smoothly and effectively. The z-mode switch is a great feature too. You get three distinct sounds out of your pickups using that, PLUS, its configurable by the user so you can monkey around with it to get the three Z-mode settings that sound best to you. Easy to install as the whole package comes pre-wired to the configuration you order. |

BTW, I didn't see a sixer on your site. Only 5s and a 7. Do your 6s keep the nice, wide string spacing of the 5s or do they get ("girly man" ) narrow like the 7?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Idyllwild, CA USA | | | Pretty much everything I build has 19mm spacing at the bridge unless a customer specifies otherwise. I sold a 6-stringer earlier this year so I don't currently have one. I'm building 4 more instruments for the 2008 NAMM show - I think one of those will be a "manly" 6-string bass.
Hey Phat - how do you do that thing with your eyes??? |

He was about 4 or 5 when that was taken. He's quite the comedian.
His aunt thought I photoshopped that. She couldn't believe anyone could really make that face.
