well malcolm shined it down for me when i got him to fix up the bass for me after i got it off another bassist, Mark. I tink the maker was called Richard van der Hoeven but his line of basses was named Hoeven Gitaren (i tot that was german for guitar but it would then translate to "Guitarre"..hmn not as catchy a name for him i guess) and my bass happens to be a Leader series. not sure wat "rud x" means tho...anyone out there who can help to enlighten me onit?
The compact anatomy of the bass is actually perfect for me as i was literally wrestling with my previous Status S1 classic every time i played. The sound can be really nice and growly if only the pick-ups are not so worn (the signal is quite weak and not very evenly spread throughout the strings) so i usually need to hook it up with my hartke bass attack and a CS-3 mod that Randolf did his magic on

Hi Ken, as i mentioned earlier, i got it off a guy called mark who bought it off sum1 else, so the bass has passed on quite a bit. i looked arnd on the net and found his email richardvanderhoeven@hetnet.nl but aparently it bounced back. mebe u can try to ask this particular guy in malaysia called gim who supposedly made good basses for quite a few singaporeans already. http://www.gimmusic.com/

Yo ZhenKelvin here la. You know i covet your GWB-1! The newer ones from Ibanez i heard have phenolic fingerboards!!!!!!!!! BIG NO NO for the tone, worse for the feel and look... I don't think they was a price drop even though they downgraded Gary's bass... Tragedy sial.
Hi Kelvin :wink: how's things going? heard you r playing at China 1 isit? with firebrands?
I actually feel the same about my status graphite neck which is one with the fingerboard. it's great for tapping coz of the brite and metalic sound but not that cool for other stylistics on the bass. but it can be really good for nu-metal coz the brite tone can really cut through all that "jargon" frm the other guitars..heh
well this is wat i found out in more detail on Phenolic fingerboards
*Phenol is the prime ingredient in Epoxy. Phenolic fingerboards are smooth and slick and feel great on your fingers bu can be "cold and sterile".Phenolic fingerboards will give you about as much tone as a phenolic circuit card. This is not necessarily a bad thing as recording studio engineers seem to like that tone. *
