unclej Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 this is my first semi-hollow body guitar and since the feedback on it has been so encouraging i thought i'd submit it for the gotm contest. the body is walnut with a four inch solid strip left in the center and chambers on both sides of the strip. the top is zebrawood. the pickup surrounds and the control plate are walnut as well. control knobs are rosewood with zebrawood caps. the neck is from allparts and is maple with rosewood fretboard. the headstock features zebrawood veneer with a walnut scallop. i wanted a bluesy/jazzy sounding guitar so i installed a 1980 gibson t-bucker in the neck position and an old overwound dimarzio single coil in the bridge. my last project was a little over the top control wise..each of the three pups had an on/off/on mini-toggle giving it 27 different settings so i decided to keep this one simple..volume/tone pots with three way switching. i made this a string through design and added a little zebrawood inlay to place the ferrules in. the tapered heel gives great access to the upper frets. thanks for your consideration and i hope you like it. unclej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 The Yei Bass The name is taken from the Navajo word meaning Beautiful One (as one of its many translations) and in reference to the top and back of Mexican rosewood (a.k.a. bocote...not really a rosewood, but anyway...). This one is just over a year in the making. The hand-carved scrolls are a nod to Carl Thompson, the rest is original. Many thanks to all the cool PG people who helped out with suggestions and encouragement on this project, especially skibum, bluespresence, Phil Mailloux and Lovekraft. Thanks also to daveq for posting his experience and unknowingly convincing me to go with Tru Oil (the search engine IS your friend…). This is my 3rd scratch-build. As usual, there are a few "firsts" for me here; first bass, first neck-thru and first carve job. The blow-by-blow is here. Specs: 9-layer neckthru - padauk-flame maple-ebony-walnut-flame maple Full-length 1/4” ebony neck lams…the “Teeth of the Dog” so to speak 5-layer body wings - flamed walnut core, ebony accents and bocote caps, 1-1/2” thick total Ebony fretboard,, ebony-bocote headstock laminate, ebony nut, ebony truss rod cover 36” scale w/ 24 jumbo frets, 16” radius, 1-7/8” nut width, 3” wide at 24th fret Custom asymmetric neck back contour, 0.9” thickness, volute, double-action hot rod Black Gotoh tuners w/ gold nuts & mounting screws Black Hipshot bridge w/ gold saddles & mounting screws Black Dunlop straplocs w/ gold accents Bartolini 72MV5C humbucker pickup at the Stingray sweet spot Seymour Duncan Basslines 3-band active preamp jacked up to 18V, ±12dB high-mid-low cut/boost, push-pull on volume kicks in a scooped “slap contour” to the EQ that boosts the high & low ends and cuts the mids, the amount of scoop is adjustable with variable micro-pots on the circuit board Control cavity shielded w/ copper tape, covered w/ shielded bocote cover cut directly from the back cap 40 coats of Tru Oil, the last 5 cut 50/50 with naptha DR Lo-Rider strings Weight: 13 lbs I bought the bocote thinking it was cocobolo, before I’d seen enough of both to be able to tell the difference . I liked the bold contrast of the grain so I stuck with it…man, I’m glad I did! The 36” scale takes some getting used to, but the high string tension is wonderful…no low-B fettuccini egg-noodle here, I can tune down to low-A no problem. The bass is quite bright sounding but the ebony nut and the Basslines preamp tame it just enough. Roll the volume down and with the extra 18V headroom you can get a really nice range of tones, from piano to woody. Crank the volume back up and the extra brightness really jumps out when you kick in the “slap contour” and start spanking this bad boy. The spacing of the Hipshot bridge and the Bart humbucker is also nice from a playablity standpoint, you get that nice Stingray growl but you also have enough room between the strings and in front of the pup to make slapping a real joy. Even for a guitar player… More pics: Full frontal http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/boj.../WholeBass1.jpg Full body http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/boj...Bass/Front1.jpg Treble scroll http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/boj...ss/SmScrFnt.jpg Bass scroll-closeup http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/boj...igScrClose1.jpg Bass scroll-inside (love that flame walnut!) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/boj...igScrClose2.jpg Bartolini humbucker http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/boj...20Bass/pup3.jpg Controls (L-to-R bass-mid-treble-volume w/push-pull slap EQ) (The faint lines are the white pickets of my stair rail reflecting off the finish from 2 stories up) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/boj...0Bass/knobs.jpg Control cavity cover http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/boj...0Bass/cover.jpg Back shot http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/boj...0Bass/Back1.jpg Heel http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/boj...0Bass/neck1.jpg Neck lams (the flame on the other side of the neck washed out in the photo...) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/boj...0Bass/neck2.jpg Straplocs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/boj...ss/StrapLoc.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
