Delberthot Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) After Friday's gig, I've come to the conclusion that I really like having the bridge pickup as high as possible to use as a ramp but I'm finding that it is choking the sound, especially when using a pick I am going to drop the pickup down a tad but still like the ramp idea so am looking for something to slot between the 2 pickups on the bass. I'd prefer ebony cos I wouldn't need to paint it but any dark wood would be fine as long as I can trim it to size easily. I had thought about buying a fingerboard blank and cutting it to size but I want to do this as cheaply as possibly Edited November 1, 2010 by Delberthot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I've got a double bass fingerboard. Thing is, it's radiused, and you'd end up having to make a 'sandwich' out of three offcuts. Ebony is pretty easy to match up though, so wouldn't look too crap. I'd ring a couple of local luthiers first, and get an offcut, probably a lot less work. I was keeping it to do the same thing...
