Here's my Jerry Scheff,how many of these are here on TB?
Not enough of those on TB, friend. Not enough.
Beautiful bass! I've always loved the Scheffs!

VERY nice......NOT many! love the shoreline gold...I know this is no longer a typical "model" but JP told me the other day that people CAN order lipstick pickups if they wanted!
Maybe someday i will get a Scheff.....someday...it is about 3-5 on a list of 10-20 lakies that are "must haves"
oooooo.....I just thought of "bookends" one Scheff Inca Silver and the other Shoreline gold! for some reaosn I love those colors on Scheffs the most!
Strong words, my friend! That's an endorsement if I've ever heard one.
He he he! I'm totally a believer!
I'd love to play one! It's the chrome pickups, and the open distance between the two sonic islands

after "desperatly seeking Scheff" i picked up a 5 er just this week
Maybe I should post this in the Chi-love topic, but I think I'd have better luck in this topic with the following question: could you please share some experience or opinions with me about the combination fretless and ChiSonics?
Since I like to build/assemble my basses myself, I've planned to build a fretless hollowbody with ChiSonics. I almost know for sure this will be a stunning combination and end up in a powerfull expressive fretless, but I would like to hear some opinions.
I've ordered a box full of Chi's from Bo, so I will be busy the coming months.Have planned 3 CS-basses for myself and more for others.
my impression of Chi singles on fretless is: deep, meaty, powerful and growly. The high end is a bit cushioned though. It's like a transition between еру P and J, but more produced and corpulent
Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
Regarding the high end: I've upgraded many basses with ChiSonics, but with every bass it's a surprise which combination of pot-values and cap is the best match to get the right sound. So I expect a lot of tweaking with the Godin before I'm satisfied.
I haven't seen it yet, but TB's own JMJ helped perform the bass battle and related an amusing story about it.if anyone has seen Scott Pilgrim VS The World or read the comic... guess what i did all day yesterday after i ordered my Lakie?

So my decade arrived...with the wrong pick-up covers 
Still plays and sounds fantastic though. Pretty disappointed about the looks still.

That's too bad the wrong Decade showed up. Congrats anyway.
I've ordered a Decade also a couple of days ago, with the original ChiSonics. It's a strange story: exactly a year ago I hád a Decade, but traded it for another bass. In the past year I've become a huge fan of CS's, upgraded a lot of basses with it for others, and did this terrific Jazz for myself:
And guess what? My "CS-Jazz" gets me a lot of tones, and it's my main bass now, but I began to miss that signature sound of a Decade, so I ordered one again. This was my first Decade:
Isn't that true Chi-Love?

Count me in on that particular questwe'll let you pass this time......I (for one) abd VERY interested to see what you think.....if it works, I MAY need you to work on a semi-hollow 5 fretless for me.....maybe....
