Nice bass Pierreyves. That tailpiece looks a little off though ;-)

as said in thread family, the SC on the left is tuning EADG, center red bass is ADGC, and right MK5 is EADGC.
Donc oui la rouge est en tenor, la r? sol do.

wow!
Tr?s belle collection!!! Je ne sais pas si c'est la photo, mais on dirait que les deux bandes de purpleheart sur le manche n'ont pas la m?me taille sur tes deux SC?
A+! et f?licitations!

??? Je viens de prendre les mesures: 3mm de moins de largeur de manche en haut comme en bas sur la nouvelle !!!
I looking now for the measure of the neck: 3mm of difference of width between the 2 SC !!!
Mica ?

Pierre-Yves - doesn't the SC in the middle have narrower string spacing? Then the neck is probably less wide, and perhaps they used different widths for the neck laminates to keep it all in proportion.

sorry adriaan, I don't measure it, don't measure width of laminates. They are narrower on the new cocobolo. Mica, please answer why so difference (it's ok for my playing but just to understand so big difference) and why you ask me by mail if it's me I bought this bass ?

Post by: mica on January 10, 2009, 11:22:51 PM
Your newer SC bass has the newer, narrow fingerboard specs of 1.5 x 2.15 compared to your older bass which is likely closer to 1.75 x 2.25. If you custom order a bass, you can instruct us to what size neck you want, even if it's something we've never built before.
 
I asked if you bought the bass because you had me email some special pictures of it.

okaaaaaaaaaay ! Thank's Mica. Why this change on 2008 ? I will have a best look and feeling and try both basses together !

My 2008 SC deluxe is also 1.5 x 2.15 and I really love that neck!!!

Post by: alembixxx on January 12, 2009, 11:52:48 AM
Here are my two babies: the MK is a medium scale, with 1.75 x 2.25 comparing the narrow 1.5 x 2.15!!!
So I'm much comfortable with the SC!

The pic was just to show the different size of laminates between the medium and the short scale. Your old short scale laminates look very similar to those on my medium scale!

Pierre-Yves,
very nice Bass!
Please tell me, with the Vermillion Core, is there a different sound to Mahagony Core?
Title: 08 SC deluxe coco bolo vermillon look !
Post by: pierreyves on February 16, 2009, 04:02:35 AM
yes, a little more strong, more attack ! Mahogany is more deep, more soft maybe.

Post by: ulf on February 16, 2009, 04:37:13 AM
ok, then my next Bass must be Vermillon

new set:  what if I forget the champaign (http://www.batraciens-reptiles.com/what-if.mp4) (S. Clarke) short version because no keyboard for this month. Others sets will follow as:
school days, lopsy lu, wild dog & goodbye pork pie hat. A lot of work will be necessary for next monthes.

Vraiment pas mal Pierre-Yves,
un mor?eau pas fa?ile,tu devrais improviser ,tu mettrais ta pate au mor?eau/
Je le connais un petit peu,sans le reprendre note pour note,c'est un des mor?eau de Clarke que je prefere,
on en attend d'autre avec impatien?e(n'oublie pas le clavier,lol)
