somn Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well I decided to have a fresh start on my 8 string baritone. I now got all my kahler hardware Such as the locking nut and the bridge I have some custom pickups that I ordered from seymour Duncan they are based off there H M live-wire pick ups they were made with a custom voicing and have different windings than there regular H M live-wire so it can pump all the low end that my tuning has without getting muddy and still have all the high gain push that these pickups were made for as soon as im done with this project ill post some sound clips As of now here is my supply list Neck wood: ovengal Finger board: ebony Body sides: ovengal Pups: custom seymour Duncan's active live-wires ( at 18 volts. My preference ) Tuners: ping Frets: stainless steal Finish: tru-oil with wax sealer or ill order the stuff Warwick use for there thumb bass Output jack: flush mount style Strap pins: Dunlop flush mount strap locks Inlay: still debating? Here is a pic of my kahler locking nut http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/marde...hekahlernut.jpg And my kahler bridge with nut http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/mardesomn/2-3.jpg my pick ups http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/mardesomn/2.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/mardesomn/3.jpg as soon as my fretboard comes in with my carbin fibers il start cutting and ill post up the results wish me luck and peace out p.s I mistakenly posted this in the wrong area of the site and I didn’t know how to get rid of it so I left alone and reposted in the right spot if any7 one knows how to fix it let me know thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElysianGuitars Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 30" scale seems awfully long for an 8 string guitar... are you even going to be able to find strings that long? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 30" scale seems awfully long for an 8 string guitar... are you even going to be able to find strings that long? lol Pretty sure D'Addario and D'Aquisto make electric guitar strings that are even long enough for basses, I'd have to look for the thread on the ERB forum about it. But yeah, most, if not all standard strings will not be long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Yep, I'm correct. You can buy them in singles at www.juststrings.com so you can find the correct strings one at a time, rather than buying an entire pack and only using a few of them. http://forum.extendedrangebassist.com/index.php?topic=174 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
