davegriffiths91 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hey guys. Recently picked up an Ibanez 6 string bass which I'm really enjoying. One thing that does bug me though is the huge gap in between the pick ups, I'd love to have the option of my right hand being smack bang in the middle of pick ups so I'm looking at getting hold of a ramp. A quick Google search has got me no where so ask you good folk, is there anywhere I can get one made online? I haven't got the facilities for it myself and the local luthier says he doesn't make them! Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I had one made by the guy who does them for ACG basses, I can't remember his name now unfortunately. It cost about £20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1506172165' post='3376856'] I was going to post a thread about this the other day, but didn't get around to it. I'm considering getting a ramp made for one of mine, but didn't know where to go and don't really know if there any issues around marking the finish if it is removed. I don't really want to damage the bass for the sake of a £20 ramp. [/quote] Just use double sided sticky tape. Weaken the adhesive a bit first by patting it with your hand, Use a hairdryer to soften the adhesive before removing the ramp if you take it off, Edited September 23, 2017 by ambient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The ramp that came with Roscoe Beck signature used the pickup height screws for attachment, certainly a non invasive means if you can get that worked into the design. However, if one goes the sticky tape avenue, I've read that smooth peanut butter removes any residue and I've had similar good results with sunflower oil.

Rich Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I attached a homemade ramp to my Status bass using double sided carpet tape. It came off clean as a whistle when I removed it to sell the bass. A tiny bit of residue that came off easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
