binky_bass Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Yeah, ive got a nice little collection of pics from 1st stage wood choices to the final product, which i must say, although it came out an amazing instrument it took fred 2 YEARS to build. Oh and its tuned in 5ths all the way down from low F#, B, E, A..... you get the idea! Ill try and post a vid on youtube of its sounds, looks whilst in play etc, and ill try and do a dood and chuck up a build diary. Heres some extra pics to tempt those who KNOW they want one of these build for themselves! Russ.

purpleblob Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Looks awesome ! Now I have enough trouble getting to the low notes on my 8 string, you must be a contortionist to get to those notes on the F# string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 yeah, i pretty much use it for tapping, but it growls like a beast if you play it in the standard fashion. An all round awesome bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I'd get to the 6/7 string (from the treble side) when re-stringing then set up camp for the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
