woaw,very nice collection!
Elles sont vraiment superbe
tu va en accorder une en Tenor je suppose???

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

Beautiful.
 
Just beautiful.

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.

Very nice

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 ?

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!!!

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!
 

 
Cheers!

we are out of topic now !!
mais elles sont belles. Plus eu de nouvelles du manche, merci de le faire en MP.
