My Read Custom Progress Thread (lotsa pics!)

#12
hey taustin, I just got back from Jack's place a little while ago- I got to ogle your bass while Jack was making a ramp for me out of a piece of cocobolo. I don't think I've ever seen so many basses in various stages of assembly or disassembly in one place in my life. Yours is looking mighty nice!

What a super guy, by the way. It was the first time I've met him, and I had 10 million questions about everything. I also ogled emjazz's new Read preamp, which is almost done. They're a totally no-bs piece of equipment. He's building all kinds of stuff out there! And what stacks of wood!

Awesome! I wish I could go by there and pick it up on person, but alas, I live in TX. How's my bass looking today? Any hardware installed yet?

That preamp he's building sounds really nice, I hope I can check it out sometime....

Hearing that my preamp is almost done makes me very, very happy.:D I can't wait to get my hands on that thing. Best preamp anywhere, hands down. That baby will complete the greatest rig ever; Nordstrand, Bergantino, Read and Crest. It just doesn't get any better! Congrats on your soon to be Read bass. I know that you'll be extremely happy with it.

Gooseyard, It's good to see that you've fallen for the ways of the ramp. I'll never play without one.

Bernie, I'll post the full rundown about the preamp when I get it. I tried the prototype and it was far and above anything that has ever been produced as a preamp. That pre is just so beautiful. You should email Jack for the details but I'll give you a first hand writeup when I get the production model.
