still how do you feel that there are no tone shaping controls on the bass?

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

I only just noticed that the control cavity is not countersunk at all

the tone shaping is done with the hands, i pretty much always play on the bridge pickup in passive and apart from messing with the passive tone control i dont touch any controls.

in its simplest form you play over the neck for a rounder tone and over the bridge for a punchier tone and then of course it is all how you touch the string, and a bass like that can pick up every bit of what you do.

Single-track mind...

I like your style! I have acquired a taste for your basses...

Who do I have to kill to get one of those!
That's the bass that started my single-cut GAS!
I'd need it in a shorter scale length though, as I'm only wee.

Cheers,
Eude

What he said

I don't miss the endless knob twiddling at all on this bass.

I still have others with the twiddly bits too, in fact another one is an imminent arrival. I will post when it gets to me

Cheers

I've always been the odd one out in that I've never liked the look of the AJ singlecut at all. Sorta like I'm the only person I know who hates OfficeSpace

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU.
i didn't want to be the first one to say it. Im talking about the AJ, not officespace (which is a classic, IMO).

TO be completely honest, Im not a big fan of a few of the Fodera singlecuts for some reason. The AJ, the beez and the Matt Garrison to be specific. There is just something weird about the shapes that doesn't sit right with me.

that doesn't even begin to start the list of things i would change about the aj bass...but, alas, i'm not mr. jackson, either, so i'll just opt not to look...that being said, the top on that particular aj is pretty amazing...oops...i looked

Very Nice Work Bud!! That is probably my favorite bass design Bud has done. The detail look killer in the pictures.

Look forward to seeing it complete!

Here's a better pic. The original design is actually mine. Bud did add a little technical re-working to make it flow a little smoother though.

i agree with brian...im not usually a huge fan of the somewhat rigid lines of the lecompte stuff, but im digging that bass....the grain of the top looks great too!!

My Nordstrand SC5

That is very nice.

<<shaking head>>

Like a number of other folks on TB, I used to look at Singlecuts as strange cetacean-like oddities. Unfortunately, Talkbass generally and this bass specifically have really turned my head!

I'm not GAS-ing for one yet but some of them are absolutely stunning and Carey's creations take the cake.

Beautiful bass!

Thanks, guys.

 

[Lewis7789]

Thanks for all the pics, guys. Now I can design the template for my Warmoth blank body with lots of ideas.

Very nice professor - is that a piece of flamed spalted maple per chance?

 

[Professor X]
