leeranya Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 can you cut into the body so they don't stick out as much at this stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyd Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Yeah but not with this bridge. Im thinking of making them flush with the very first bevel to shorten them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyd Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) Ok this set is done. All and all they turned out good, and with the new knobs work flawless and smooth. Not to mention I saved myself 300-400 bucks. Unlike this bass my next build will be a headless design so I am working on a smaller more petite tuner design. Also I was able to move the tuners closer to the bridge for better looks. ANother View Not too bad for home made eh?

verhoevenc Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Looks good except that middle knob seems slightly different than the others. How much all in all do you estimate a set of these costing you to build? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyd Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Yeah I have them where they are different lengths from the middle out to try and make them flow with the body more ( I experiment). All and all the tuners cost about $4 each. Most of that moneys in the brass stock for the knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattharris75 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 This is really neat...I have been working on designing my next project, and wanted to do a headless bass. I had almost changed my mind, due to cost, when I ran across this. It would be really cool if you made some mechanical drawings (with measurements and whatnot)and a material list available for sale for a few bucks. I know there would be quite a demand for it!
