tauzero Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Variable neck profile - the neck skeleton would be a t-shaped aluminium extrusion, and then interchangeable wooden neck undersides would be affixed to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 It could be an 8 string but with each pair tuned the same but one roundwound and one flatwound Body should have a monkey grip handle (and probably need one as it’s going to weigh about 15st 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Expanding on Ped's headphone amp/output suggestion how about going for a 500w class eadg, beadg for 5 string, pre/power amp fed from an 18v dc passive/active pickup system (plus all the additional media suggestions put forward). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't get 500W from 18V and 2 9 volt batteries. Even if that poweramp could run at 18V the batteries would be drained in a matter of minutes because of the power consumption required for it to work. You would need a special plug in the bass for plugging in a power cord to feed the poweramp. Also 200W seems more realistic as far as the size of such a thing would be.

miles'tone Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Can I vote for just upgrading myself and practise 8 hours a day on just the one bass, like the olden days? Looking back, being on the dole was a great career choice! 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
