New model for me comments most welcome.
The bass was asked about in another thread as it can be seen in the back ground so I thought best to have it's own thread now that it is finished.


A few firsts in this bass.
Finn prototype body shape and also a piezo bridge.

Spec
Alder body with a 3 piece Flame Maple neck and Indian Ebony finger board. Alloy side dots 16" radius.

Hipshot bridge with Graphtech piezo saddles and an ACG RFB pickup.
ACG EQ01 pre-amp with the piezo feeding on of the low pass filters and the RFB the other. This allows full EQ over the piezo and the RFB and also allows you to blend the two.
Thanks to John East for the additional electronics required to get this to work.

I'd like to hear some clips of this!

One better if you are going to the UK bassday it will be on the stand for the day. I think Eude may be writing about it as well he was down at the weekend trying out all the basses I have ready for the bassday.


It would take you a long time to make the money for the bass that way. Not because the bass is really expensive just that I have so little floor to sweep. To many machines and piles of wood at times it hard to find the floor never mind sweep it.
