T-34 Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Well, to comply with this forum rules, I repost my pictures one pic per post. Btw, why this rule isn't applied on everyone? I see here the current projects with at least 2 or 3 pics per post ("Weapon of mass destruction" for exemple). Here it goes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-34 Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I wish I had a garage Actually, I am living in the Paris suburb's appartment (read "small") and work in the corner of my kitchen. Those are my son's dominos but laptop is actually mine. WiFi is nice thing to have!

daveq Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I love it! I'm surprised nobody has chimed in with "Isn't maple too bright?" (I love maple for my guitars - fretboards, bodies, necks, ... great stuff!) - in reference to the sweet fretboard you have there. Very clean looking work and I love the overall concept and wood selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-34 Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 great looking work, one question for ya, what does using the shorter scale provide for sound wise? MzI Basically: bolder attack, lesser definition (more "muddiness"), shorter sustain. But between the 34" and 32" there won't be so much difference as between 34" and 30". My idea was to create the bass strung with roundwounds to sound a little bit more like flatwounds keeping the feel of roundwounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyd Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) "My idea was to create the bass strung with roundwounds to sound a little bit more like flatwounds keeping the feel of roundwounds." try saying that 3 times fast the bass looks awesome, i love those tuners im guessing they are hipshot?

T-34 Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I tried, it doesn't work The tuners are "hipshot lic". Does it mean they are "true" Hipshots or just licenced by Hipshot (like "Duncan desined" pickups aren't the true duncans)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
