ShergoldSnickers Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Well I've bitten the bank manager and asked Robbie to caress the following into life: 34" fretless 5, Marseer design with the cut-out recess for the bridge tailpiece rather than the fishtail. ETS bridge and tailpiece Ash body with satin poly finish Finger ramp between the pickups Nice thin fast bolt-on neck with ebony fingerboard Embedded luminous side position markers - not LEDs 3 band active Glockenklang eq Two Christoph Dolf Dual Coil pickups All hardware to be black against a light coloured finish, and very minimalist in looks. Here's a sketch of the body as supplied by Robbie - with a six string bridge which I've only just noticed .

eude Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Nice one dude! Love the spec and love reading these build diaries, it's no substitute for a build of your own, but it helps... Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShergoldSnickers Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Cheers, guys - thanks for the comments. Slight update - brought the neck pickup in towards the bridge a tad - it will be rare that I ever use the neck pickup on it's own, and they should blend a tad better for my tastes when both are working together now. Robbie has sketched the neck out as well. How are you finding your magnificent beast Shep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Fantastic Ian! I think this is well deserved. Like the understated spec, and I think it's going to look fab. Why don't you have it finished in Olympic White with black hardware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShergoldSnickers Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Due to the temporary locking of the Affiliates Market,, I'll post the photos Robbie would have put up on that forum. The controls layout on the body front. Really like the string anchor section cuts and routing. The preamp bay blanking plate in place The Glockenklang preamp revealed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
