tauzero Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 If only that was a 5-string. And headless. And fretless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 Perfect in every way other than that. Do you want flats on it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 An ambitious price for a homebuild but I'm sure the tweed hardcase for an extra £70 is worth it ( he even overcharges for this)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Went for £550 and if it plays as well as it looks, that's money well spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not place any value on this persons time and the materials used? I would happily pay that much for such an instrument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Not really to my taste but it looks like a good quality build, definitely well above average for a home-build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do I can do I can do. But they cant! That multi laminate set neck with a multi laminate scarf joint is an abomination Poplar is famous for moving hence it gets used in non critical internal frames.

Nope, you made a comment about poplar, I illustrated it was a common tone wood irrespective of its reversible expansion characteristics.

You did not mention it as a common tonewood what you said was as above which is as I said EBMM seemed to get away with it (professionals as opposed to silly billy in his shed) You can defend silly billy all you like but he doesn't compare to professional builders of timber products.

Ok R, life’s far too short to argue semantics especially when Vera is about to air on that wonderful Witness channel on Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
