Nektarberg Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hello, I wish a luthier (preferably european) to construct this bass for me: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nnWG21RPQFfoI4xwGnJJk_YTz6Ra2Gtg6rQsoJvK1Uk/edit?usp=sharing Please PM your answer. Thanks for looking! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) As you live in Berlin, go by the Dobbratz brothers owning Le Fay, they will make what you're looking for. Check their RHT (Right Hand Tuning) system for a headless approach, but with a headstock without tuners... They also make real headless basses. That said, the locking jack is a very bad idea as it's a real pain in the *ss for many reasons. A Status King Bass looks like another great option for you too.

Nektarberg Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Hey thanks! I should mention that I'm hoping to stay within €2500, perhaps with a maker from east Europe. I'm quite sure that the makers you've mentioned would go more towards €4000, correct me if I'm wrong.

Hellzero Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Made to measure instruments are expensive, so yes your price estimation is correct. Check this then : https://public-peace.de/configurator/frog-headless/type This will be the cheapest you can find for a custom made instrument.

fretmeister Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Get an Ibanez Mezzo for £200, then send it to Feline Guitars to have the headstock removed, and get it modified as you want. Just like @therealting did with his. (His was a 5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Have you checked the Kubicki Ex Factor ? It ticks a lot of your choices. There is one for sale in France at the moment : https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/annonce-2009966 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
