Son of Magni Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 wat wood is that used in the laminates and for the fb? That is Cocobolo, anyone considering using it should think twice because of the allergy risk. Played this bass in a couple jams over the last few days and it sounded great. After I get some clips uploaded I'll link to them if that's allowed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Magni Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) Thanks Jason and Jon, I can't take all the credit though. Mother nature supplied the beautiful materials... that came out so amazingly, great work. how much room is there between the tip of the lower horn and the fingerboard? the first guitar i built has a lower horn very similar to that, and an issue i used to run into was when playing up high i'd hit the horn, cause it was too close, but maybe on a bass thats not an issue, as technique up high probably varies dramatically... course i just now actually measured mine, and its 2 3/4", yours looks a bit wider than that... I realized I never responded to this. It's actually about 2 3/4 inches. This is something I experienced with the first bass I build with this template and made some changes to give a little more room. The guy who contracted this bass wanted the body width reduced, and the way I accomplished that brought the lower horn closer again. I'll probably reshape it a bit thanks to your timely question So, here's a short clip of me playing it. I'm really just a fretless player but it came out ok I think...

Son of Magni Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I just completed another project. This is a Tele based guitar (my first guitar) made with my body shape and neck-thru. It has Alembic Tele replacement pickups. Hope you like it... front neck back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Magni Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 They're DR coated strings, "Red Devils". They last longer than regular strings, unless your nut lock cuts your high E string in half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
