Dominique Di Piazza used leather on top of the original saddles to make his first flat sitar-like bridge.
And did not and still does not sound like a fretless 🤪

Yeah I like the looks of those bridges, but the video suggested that the guy had done the mod himself with £10 worth of parts to the existing bass bridge, rather than buying one of these bridges
The website shows the concept, wooden saddles, where the string runs over de full length of the saddle to get a fretless-ish tone.

Fretless sound needs a fretless fretboard, this and the Neuser fretless bridge give a fretless vibe, not a fretless tone imo.

Mike Sabre designed the bridge and sell them. Some pics/clarification above.

Wonderful kit bass!

@Andyjr1515 no steam used, right? I always steer away from steam for fear of bending, but I know people who call me a fool for just using heat.

Black Crown Iniciate - one of the highlights of 2020 for me.

And that is the first scary job on the project...later this week
That would scare the sh!t out of me...... are you heating the glue or planing off the fretboard?

Hi mate, I’ve marked the post as Sold for you. We generally do not delete postings, so marking as Sold hopefully is fine.

Great heads, just super reliable, powerful, great sounding and still relatively light.

Nice work so far, the wenge is really lovely and it will surely have an aggressive bark when complete.

I love that bridge design too, such a simple but smart solution.

Wow, that is a nice (and heavy) piece of 12 string.

I just completed a scratch build, was about 600 quid in wood/parts/electronics etc, Depending on your choices it will quickly cost you anywhere between 200-250 on the lower side and if you go for really expensive woods and parts you can spend 1000 quid easily. And you need the correct tools of course.....

A few years back Cort brought out this top of the range acoustic, the NTL-B at a for Cort pretty steep €998.
For the money it is a ridiculously good bass, on par with some much higher priced acoustics, but as I am no longer using it (Covid killed the gig I bought it for) I would like to see if I can sell or trade.
Price includes shipping (basic) within Europe, and for distances up to 150km or so I will even consider delivery/personal hand-over (socially distanced of course).
- 34" Scale
- Solid Spruce top
- Rosewood body
- Rosewood fretboard and headstock with binding
- Hipshot ultralite tuners
- Fishman Sonicore cable-pickup
- Fishman Prefix Plus Preamp
- Comes with quality hard case
- Elixir bronze strings
Would absolutely consider (part)trades, mainly 2x10 cabs, 1x12 cabs, a good amp (can be "heavy", no need for D class), a high-end preamp pedal, maybe a quirky drive or filter pedal. I have all the basses I need really, so unlikely I would go for that.
I hope @HumblePie you do not mind me using your pictures in the original thread below (the lighting is good on them). Please let me know if that is an issue and I will substitute immediately.

My old bass! Can absolutely vouch for how good this thing sounds and plays, it must have done at least a hundred gigs with me. Fast slim neck too. And great seller.

There isn't an amp made that outputs it's full power all the time. They only do that when the input signal is strong enough to drive them that far.
It only took 2.5 years for anyone to notice my comment was ambiguous. We agree and it is not limited to only D class.

These pre-Euro basses are absolutely great value. I have owned NS5/NS6s, Euros and these and I have to say that these came very very very close to my US basses.
