Yes;

Shame on Me!
...For wanting to share professionally-taken-by-the-builder pics of a SD pup equipped awesome bass!
(instead of the blurred images I would have come up with)

I guess there are those who would post stock shots and claim the instrument as their own; but Not I!

No. It's not really my bass, clown.
I just like posting stock photos,
Now what 's your issue?

Well Larry, since you asked I'll explain....

First of all, let me say I really like your use of the phrase clown subtly alluding to my screen name / avatar. Well played.

You appear to be new enough to not entirely get the purpose of my post, so let me explain; I run a competition every once and again called "SDUG Ultimate Axe" where we post our awesome guitars. There is a bass category. The rules (aka MY rules) are that you must own the guitar in question.

This thread is a request for the basses. When I saw that pic, I thought it was a fantastic bass. But as it was a pro-photo, I could not tell if you actually owned it. If you actually owned it, I was going to encourage submission. If you thought you could enter a guitar not owned, or not in your possession (even if paid for) I was going to explain that you couldn't.

I'm having trouble deciphering the degree of sarcasm in the quote above,

Either way Larry, welcome to SDUG! Just saying if you own that it would be a contender - but tough to tell from the pic.

What does the winner of the competition get?

Free merch/pickups? :P

I'm new to this too.

Mostly bragging rights.

There have been rumors of goodies, but - to be honest - I'd rather they didn't. Keep it fun.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe BASS: Gentlemen, start your CAMERA's

Ah right

Small stuff would be cool t-shirt or pickup pendant - maybe even just a set of picks with the logo on it - I'd be happy with that

Especiallly with so much of it being subjective - heck, go look at the two heats of Super Strats...

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe BASS: Gentlemen, start your CAMERA's

Well Larry, since you asked I'll explain....

(blah-blah-blah)

I'll run this down for you:

I spec'd out and ordered that instrument about 3 1/2 months ago; after seeing the builders info:

http://www.christopherwoodsguitar.com/CWG/HOME.html

There are (2) major points in his approach to building; tonewoods and SD electronics. I agree with him fully; that's why I ordered the bass.
It was shipped to me on Monday & I rec'd it Wednesday.

The only reason I joined this Forum and posted here was to remark how well the Duncan preamp and pups work with this bass; absolutely phenomenal.

I really could not care less about winning a contest or "bragging rights" that would be arbitrary anyway. There's no "best bass" only what's best for a given player.

However I do enjoy showing this bass, and pointing out the builder's skills, encouraging other bassists considering a custom instrument to check his work out (some killer stuff); or at least look into the electronics package that was used on this bass.

Did I mention my digital camera sucks? Since the builder provided an actual diary of build shots, beginning with raw lumber, all the way through to the finished bass, and the bass was in transit, I posted his excellent pics rather that the poor quality images I could have provided.

See? It has my name and everything! Does that erase your doubts and suspicions??

As far as "rules" as to whether the bass is "in my possession..."

Get real. Maybe YOU have a mindset that would post pics of a bass you don't own and claim it as your own.

I don't.

Get it? Good!

And thanks for the Forum welcome!

Here; Have Some More!!


DISCLAIMER: (2) of the pictures of basses shown here were NOT taken by me!! They are stock or mfrs. shots.
But I own them and play them! Can you believe it??!!

Thanks!

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe BASS: Gentlemen, start your CAMERA's

And I think some people are just born to be punk-ass posters on internet forums, like you "Jolly"

LMAO!! All I did was make a statement, and it wasn't directed towards anyone at all. However, I find it funny that you thought that it was directed towards you. Apparantly you've been called that times before in your life. So, I reckon if the shoe fits, you wear it. Don't blame me for the type of person that you come across as.......That is as far as you think.

Edit: Yeah, I am a punk-ass.
