Bulb uses m8's.

'clear articulate but brutal distortion' certainly describes his tone. And his cleans are wicked too.

Hi Guys,
Well, this is my attempt at building an 8, still in progress tho. It has an EMG DC and a slanted M8. The fanned fret neck plays very comfy but i'm still fiddeling with the electronics. Only the EMG works at the moment. I REALLY fucked up the paintjob, it was my first attempt and i will NEVER do that again!! I'm taking it off as soon as i have the time for it. Than a black stain and some tung oil and that's it. Enjoy! :hbang:

Not bad but you could use 40DC, not 45DC. 45DC with 8 string can be used as slanted pickup.

Very interesting Bassies. I like the body shape. Reminds me of a David King bass a little bit.

What two scale lengths did you use for your fan?

Yeah, really cool looking 8. The paintjob doesn't look too bad! Just reminds me a bit of buckeye burl.

Thanx guys! Ill post more pics when i get the paintjob off.

@Apophis: the 45 was lying around in a local shop so i bought it. It takes 7 months here to get EMG's imported and im a impaciant guy:)

@ Durero, the bodyshape is somewhat similar to my all time favorite the vigier passion (see pic) The fan is made according to what conklin uses: 25" -27 3/4". Im not fully satisfied with the 27.3/4 because i feel that it's a bit to short. It intonates good with a .80 string.


Regards
Bas
