SpondonBassed Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) That's a refined looking instrument. Respectfully modified. I agree with your placement of the brand plate. Its shape reminds us of that beautiful bridge at the other end. I wish you lots of joy with it.

I wish I'd managed to do it all myself, like you, but sometimes it's best left to the professionals PS. If anyone wants the original rosewood bridge then they can have it for free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba_the_gut Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Really nice project - looks superb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6feet7 Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 A quick follow up. Just had Simon at GUS remove the frets. This is going to be used as a backup for my double bass and it just wasn't sounding close enough (especially the piezo which picked up all the fret noises), so now the ebony neck has maple fret markers and sounds so much more lush. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Correct choice - piezo bridge and nylon coated strings is wasted on a fretted bass! Where is the LR Baggs clone preamp from? Fancy one of those for my Sinsonido. Edited December 20, 2018 by lemmywinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
