Here is a photo that was taken by JPS of my Forte that shows how beautiful the wood grain is on the Pau Ferro.

In person its even more amazing.

bclark, when is the ETA on your Forte?

Beautiful transition from fingerboard to body!
 
Just a reminder how bada** maple fb's are. And it sounds pretty good too. Another perfect example of fine quality from Spectorbass.

Thanks for posting these links! :bassist:

I know how I am spending the last half of my slow work day!
 
Okay guys, I finally uploaded the soundclips showcasing the new electronics I put in my Spector Legend 6 (EMG 45TW's and Tonepump pre). So here they are, along with a few pics of the build, just the important ones. As I said before when I first finished, everything was actually somewhat easy, especially since I didn't need to hardwire the pups to anything. The Tonepump was soldered to the bridge volume pot via two little terminals on the back of the PCB. Everything else was basically pushing the quick-connect connectors onto the terminals and wiring the TonePump to the output jack.Everything worked great for the first day, until after transporting it to church I started getting static on the bridge volume pot. One of the guys at church (DIY Master Sensei!) looked at my connections and told me the black and white wires from the Tonepump where soldered to close together and the signal was probably jumping terminals. I went home and fixed it, everything is great. I'm going to order the Euro knobs to replace the current ones this weekend, I'm also wondering if a separate battery compartment can be routed as my control cavity is now a hot stinkin' mess :p:p. Here are a few pics:

FINALLY DONE!! Pretty nice quilt huh?

Anyways, here are the clips; Fingerstyle with a little slap in the middle. I don't know how to play with a pick, otherwise I would've demoed the sound of that for you guys. [SIZE="3"][COLOR="Red"]DC=dual coil, SC=single coil[/COLOR][/SIZE]. With every variation I had the pickup volume(s) at 100%. Tonepump trim pot is at 50%, bass and treble are boosted about 45% (from what I can tell, apparently the TP cuts bass and treble by like 3-4db too...) I did these quick, so there will be mistakes.......don't judge me! LOL
