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 ré sol do. |

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. |

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! |

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? |

yes, a little more "strong", more "attack" ! Mahogany is more deep, more "soft" maybe. |

new set: "what if I forget the champaign" (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 morçeau pas façile,tu devrais improviser ,tu mettrais ta "pate" au morçeau"/ Je le connais un petit peu,sans le reprendre note pour note,c'est un des morçeau de Clarke que je prefere, on en attend d'autre avec impatiençe(n'oublie pas le clavier,lol) |
