Good to know.
-
Are you attending the bass bash on the 5th? -
I couldve picked it up for you
-
What
-
Especially the wing bass, but of course you wouldn't know.
-
I’m pretty sure basswood
-
I'm happy to help with stuff. I'm inbetween Stoke and Derby

Short Scale 'Thing' (23" scale Headless 4 string)

But that does look like a beautiful neck joint -

I recognize that body shape -
Ok, this is only a prototype and a 23” with this body shape will be very much possible, are you at the midlands bass bash?
-
I’ve got the tuners in and the bridge in my possession. I glued on a bit of maple because the headstock was a little thin.
-
For a midget bass?
-
The postage time on it was about 6 days, not bad considering it’s location. They are not always perfectly straight so they do have to be planed before joining. But they are a great price.

Cheers, thanks for the support
-
I’m near Uttoxeter, stoke/derby/burton way
-
Why thank you. The fretboard should be arriving tomorrow so I’ll glue it then and I’ll install the tuners and then finish the neck, with Liberon finishing oil, and fret it when I can afford frets and fretpress
-
UPDATE: The neck is shaped and awaiting slotted fretboard (I know I shouldve glied the f/b before but i got bored). The neck isn’t also mounted, tuner holes drilled and body shaped
-
Ha, that’s actually quite amazing. ive nicknamed the bass the cyclops because of the single pickup but I’ll have to call it sirdidymus now.
-
Ohh, I think 23” is more sensible as 20” won’t really suit EADG yet something more like GCFB
-
I’ll bring the marshmallows!
-
I can line the output jack cavity with something opaque. Good idea
-
I can solve the issue with fret slots as inbetween the acrylic fretboard and neck will be a few layers of carbon fiber for some extra support
-
I was thinking of flame polishing internal surfaces, would that work alright?
-
I was thinking to have a piezo bridge with no onboard controls, maybe a preamp for the piezo externally. This would mean no control cavity or pickup route. I could flame polish the neck pocket for aesthetics.

What was interesting about bens prototype was the bubbles in the acrylic, was this to emulate pores in wood so the bass would resonate or just a bad cast?
