Frets:

I'm as infatuated with this bass as I am with my wife....

I feel like it could be used to play progressive caveman rock....

I WANT TO PUT IT IN A WEDDING DRESS AND WALK IT DOWN THE AISLE

Son of a bitch bastard motherfucker!!!!! I need a new nut for my Warwick, but don't want to spend the fucking cash! Where can a get a brass nut for cheap? 70 bucks is fucking nuts!!! It's so small! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! I could use the plastic one but I'm afraid it will just break again!

I know those basses!! Hey Glen - long time! Good to see you here.

Hi Jean!

nice 'uns. Bees?

They're not Bees but I like Bee basses too! They are JP Basses. JP (the builder) does not build anymore and has moved on to other things, but he did build some interesting pieces over roughly 10 years; mostly 5 to 12 string instruments with a few 4 stringers here and there.

nice! they are some beauties. i.... would get lost. i've played around (read - made sloppy out of key noises) with Jean's beautiiful monstrosities a few times, and as daunting as 3,000 fretted options are, the scope of what y'all are working with is amazing.

[behndy]

AHHHHH! I DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BASSES SO I HAVE NOTHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO SAY ABOUT YOUR SITUATION!!! I'M GOING TO GO JERK ONE OUT TO SWEAT SHOP WORKING CONDITION VIDEOS!!!

I have one bass with a brass nut.. I really don't find it any better then bone or plastic..

[Jwar]

Will any of those fit the Warwick though?

[Jwar]

Surely someone here owns a Warwick. I hate you guys. I'm ordering the stupid plastic nut for now. I don't think those brass ones will fit my wick. I need it to be fix now damn it! NOW!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

I love you guys though fer real. For fucking real.

yep. Brass nuts have gone up a lot, local luthiers do nowadays the nuts from graphic. Sounds way worse than it actually sounds and seems to work IMHO.

Has anybody experienced with ebony?

[Mudfuzz]

I did a ebony one on my 8string

[Bassus Sanguinis]

Right, I was pretty sure somebody here had done that - I take it's rather bright sounding? I think I want to pimp my Gretsch cheap ass bass-vi baritone in future and try to come up with something novel. Otherwise I'll go with the graphic my 12-stringer got.

Nope it's dark. I used it because it was a off cut from the fingerboard and it was well.. there.. I did some interesting tests a while back on the Thang and at one point I had made a ebony bridge [like a gibson guitar bridge] and it was amaze how dark it was to a normal steel fender bridge. If you want bright you want metal, aluminum nuts like what dano uses are really bright even compared to a brass one. Personally I like graphite.. I have a tusq one on my V5 and I think it is press good.

[Bassus Sanguinis]

oh, really? Righty, graphic then, if I don't run into something nice for the right price.

Thanks Mudz.
