But he was just....up his arse.. (Maybe his Jackson V classic wasnt really that impressive in a 'Rock' pub after my Aircraft carrier deck???)

Olivewood top and back,mahogany core..sycamore/walnut thru-neck,ebony fingerboard....2 p/u's,Fanned Novax'd fretboard,Hipshot key on the C sharp (so I can sub it down to Contra B ),samestyle body design as the 'Beast' with probably 28-30 frets.....Im making Jim make the Pickups,if only to irritate him. The scale will probably be 37" on the Csharp,to 32" on the high Dsharp. Overall this will be a nastier instrument visually,much more moody and dark...a nightcrawler. Whos gonna make the 7 Kev? Bimm,went really well,and got a very honest appraisal,and opinion,and answers. Im going in the right direction.

7string Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 [b]ARGH[/b] - Geez an 11 !! That's going to be another very special bass I only hope you've got a string supply for that super-low, super-heavy 37" scale, low low B. I remember reading the story of when Sheldon Dingwall made the 37" scale for the first time and never thought that he had a special string when he tried it out. It took him months to find where that string came from and then someone who would make a string long/heavy enough, but he got there in the end !! Be sure to start a build thread when all the parts are in place. [b]6stringbassist[/b] - There are plenty of luthiers out there who can make your 7. Just take your time and remember you'll need someone with good communication as well as a design and sound that suits you as a player. A bit of bass window-shopping is always good fun. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
