ACG Finished Work.

[Skelf]

I will have a bit more of a play with this bass but initial mucking about has been quiet positive.

First Finn single cut with a Recurve lower horn.
Black Walnut body with a Claro Walnut top.
5 piece Maple/Wenge neck with a 26 fret Rosewood board.
ACG EQ01 pre-amp with FB pickups with ramp and coil switching. Hipshot Type A with Graphtech piezo. This is switchable with the bridge pickup. Low battery indicator.
Oil finish.

That is a pretty bass.
Nice wood selection and choice.

I'm crazy about the colors on this bass. Well done!

Dirty finish on the Ash body and the Wenge/Padauk neck.....

 

[bassplace]

That ash Finn is quite interesting.

I'm hoping it'll still be around for the next Moffat weekender

 

[Skelf]

Kind of hoping it will be gone by then. I will however be making a few more basses with the RFS in it.

Would that setup also work with a schertler lydia (updated bluestick)?
How does it work (im not to bad with wood, but a bit of a neandertthaler with electronics)

A few pics of my most recent finished work.


Fretless 4 Finn prototype. First bass to have a piezo bridge feeding one of the lowpass filters in the pre-amp and the RFB feeding the other. This allows full EQ of the piezo and blending of the piezo and magnetic pickup.

Recurve 4 with Black Limba body Splated Beech top and an acrylic impregnated finger board.

 

[Skelf]

Are you asking about the fretless with the piezo.

 

[tantetruus]

sorry, yes, the combination of a piezo (or in my case the Schertler "ultra linear condenser microphone with solid diaphragm and integrated electronic settings". Quite a long statement, based on "air chamber technology"...)
and a regular magnetic element

Hi
To be honest I am not sure one way or the other I have never thought of plugging a mic into it.
The dual lowpass filter pre-amp is only available in my own basses I do have a retail version but it has only the one lowpass filter.

 

[tantetruus]

Well, they call it a microphone, but the appaerence is really
quite a lot like a under saddle piezo.
A strip with cable that goes to their build-in pre-amp.

I must say that i didnt hear it yet since im waiting for some wood which takes ages

Principle also is quite similar to an undersaddle piezo.

I only want to add a magnetic element to give it a bit of punch if needed.

They have to be combined somehow to the jack but im still fniding out how to do this; quite a different output i imagine

 

[Skelf]

Have a look at John Easts site he has a board for combining piezo with magnetic pickups.

 

[jnevi9nr]

Simply brilliant, in the most literal sense!

Thanks Mike.
I have a fretless 5 in the works as well which I think bits of it you will recognise.
