New Ramp Day. Amazing work from Andyjr1515


Recommended Posts

Get a load of this wonderful bit of work...

 

Even more amazing - @Andyjr1515 did it without ever seeing the bass. Just going on my own hamfisted measurements.

It's a beautifully prepared bit of ebony, with cut outs for the pickup lugs and the scratchplate. It's held on with some double sided tape.

 

I've always liked ramps, but they are more important now after suffering from a Mallet finger for a year. The ramp really helps when the finger won't properly obey my commands.

 

And yes - I really do have the action that low / pickups that high. It's even lower when a string is fretted at the 22nd fret!

 

Thanks again to Andy for an amazing job.

Now that's some quality woodwizardry!

 

It is. It arrived this morning and due to my measuring skills I thought it would at least need a bit of sanding here and there, but it fit perfectly straight away.

 

 

Little does he know that I quite fancy a 5 string as well.... :D

That’s insane action; you just have to wave your fingertips at those strings.

It's when you rupture the tendon on the top surface of your finger so the end joint curls up and cannot straighten because there is no tendon attached to pull it back.

 

I had a full year of therapy and splints and casts to get it back to about 70% function.
