But he emailed Cheeto telling him he was back in Oregon!

yeah, he got back on the 24th or so

Got an email back from Fred yesterday he said my bass will be finished in February, and that he'd be getting pictures to me ASAP. I'm not too confident about pictures but hopefully the build ETA will be good!

 

[neptoon]

wow, you guys are getting all the love...i've been trying to get an updated invoice for the past two months

I'm in the same situation...no response for 3+ months

 

[theNoseBleedKid]

Probably should bother him again with an email! I take it his provider bounces a lot of non-s[am emails, I've had a few normal ones rejected myself.

 

[BIG CHEETO]

lol i was supposed to get some pics from him this past monday....... lol - its probably because hes too busy bustin his ass building my bass to bother with pics n junk lol. its all good, just happy to be getting my very first bee bass.

with my cheesey crappy skills, i prolly dont deserve it anyway......

 

[BIG CHEETO]

I sent an email to fred a while back telling him that i forgot exactly what the neck woods are for my new nine string stinger. (its been over three years in the making) so, in the email i asked Fred to refresh my memory, on what i thought was a 7 peice neck, and much to my grand surprise, he replied with this,

"Do I have it wrong? I thought you wanted a 9-piece neck?? I hope it's OK... too late to change it

Fred"

all i have to say is HELL YEAH!!!!!!!! and, I COULDNT BE HAPPIER!!!!!!!!!!

The fret board is going to be bookmatched acrylicised ebony

Who knows when i get some pics of my bass, but as soon as i do, i'll post those up! WOOT!

9 piece neck for a 9 string bass; dats what I'm talkin bout! You're so spoiled Dave that next you'll want 9 tuners, 9 strings & a bridge with 9 slots; some people.

Mehhehehehe
But it all just wouldnt be complete without 9 Whappo Grandes with cheese

 

[Whappo Grande]

Ahhhhh...you must be talkin bout the new Big Cheeto Signature Series!

 

[BIG CHEETO]

hahahaha! with like 9 toilet paper dispensers,... you know in case the F# turns my stomack inside out. <3 oh what love....

 

[theNoseBleedKid]

Didn't GBC have a bass with everything divisible by 9?

 

[BIG CHEETO]

I think so? i think i might have read something about that. My bass will have 9 strings, and a nine peice laminate neck.
no other gimmick to it regarding the #9 lol.

nine this, and nine that lol.

 

[neptoon]

if it's a bolt on, it will more than likely have 9 bolts connecting it to the body

LOL!

it is a bolt on.

 

[neptoon]

heh...still waiting on an invoice so i can send the rst of my balance...my last couple of emails have been like - dude, i want to send you MONEY!!! tell me how much!!

 

[Kitsapbass]

Finally got the OK from Fred to post these... He won't put it on the site until it's named. I'm kinda liking the 'GrooveBee' tag Edo Castro suggested at NAMM... but I think I'm seeing it as "The Buzz"

3 words:

Oh.

My.

God.

That is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen.

 

[James Hart]

I'm thinking 7 string fretless version of this now
I just sent an inquiry to Fred about the possibilities

 

[Athe]

Cool James! I actually cant imagine how that model would look as a 7 stringer. Perhaps someone with good photoshop skills could enlighten me

You've got to let me know when he replies man, Im starting to think my emails arent getting through as they should. Im going into the 4th month of waiting for a reply now...I'm devastated.

 

[Hollow Man]

Athe, sorry to hear about your trouble. Have you resent the email? If he hasn't replied in four months, he's simply not going to reply to THAT email. But that doesn't mean that he wouldn't reply if you sent him a fresh one. I emailed him a few days ago and have not received anything either, but that's par for the course... I'll give it at least another week before I consider resending. Nobody goes back four months in email unless they're searching for a particular email... if you want a reply, you definitely need to keep new emails coming in.

And James, if you get prompt replies from Fred, there are going to be a lot of confused and upset folks on this forum.
