@chrispurchase A PM here on youtube is a good of way as any for quick questions ect However I'm not really building right now but I'd be glad to hear from anyone interested.
Hey how did the walnut wood treat you? I'm having a pretty simple custom bass made (Basically a J-Bass copy with Walnut wood and custom neck from Warmoth) from walnut and I was wondering how the wood affects the tone, also does it scratch easily? And is it heavY?
@redhook4 Hey there. The reason I chose walnut was for looks, I like deep rich woods and walnut was a good choice. The affects on tone- who knows man...the pickups, string, bridge, preamp/passive electronics all affect it. I build two basses with walnut bodies and they sound completely different. It it pretty heavy stuff, and in a J bass body style it'll be a hefty bass for sure. And I don't know what you mean by if it scratches easily, it doesn't scratch at all with a finish on it...
@Zombbg4 Thanks for the information. I love the look of the dark woods and thought it would be good for a J-Bass. Sorry I meant is it durable and sturdy.
now if i had to quickly illustrate my favourite bass sound, your videos would come to my mind first. thanks for the walnut/wenge/ebony/bart recipe, seems like an excellent choice. bart does a lot in the final character but wood darkens and warms it all while ebony adds that fast projection.. at least this is like i see it. all the best, mike
Were the Barts custom order because I was wondering if they did something like that but I didn't see anything on bestbassgear with those specs. I'm having a custom built and having single coils that I could move around would be great.
@Thatguy301 Caught the Janek tune eh? lol The pickup situation is really simple actually, nothing more than standard bart singles like you get from bestbassgear but inside of a big ass EMG cover. I got them used so I cant help as to how/where you can get them, but its shouldnt be too difficult. Lemme know how it goes, and who are you having build your bass??
@Zombbg4 I'm having a custom CallowHill Junk Jazz made and movable single coil pickups sound like an awesome idea. I'm between going with either that idea or the stock Nordstrand Fatstacks w/ a coil splitting switch. I'll check on it :). BTW, you used to have some other videos up. What happened to them? I remember the All Blues solo specifically but I'm sure there was more.
How do we get in touch if we want one?

Shitty mic as described, but that still sounds like it has wonderful tone, must be a pleasure to play!
