I want to build my own effect loop bypass with a blend knob so i can mix my clean signal with some effect. I'm not a electronic expert, so if someone can help me with simple drawing that will realy help me! Thanks! Philippe

You can route a pocket to house the tune"o"matic bridge (à la Godin) It's clean and fully adjustable! Good luck! Philippe -
I'm back to work after 2 months! I was refreshing my workshop during this break. Take a look! It's easier to work now! So you can now see the progress of this week on the thinline. more work realy soon Philippe

34" from the G string saddles. You should adjust the G string saddle about 75% of its travel towards the neck. This will leave you room to move the remaining saddles when setting the intonation. Nice top! Philippe

Yes i realy like the emperor design. But for my next build, i'll try something little different. This was a selfmade rosewood bridge, with rosewood saddle. But i was tired of the way this bass sounded. A wood bridge is great but it darken the sound. I will probably screw the older body on my workshop's wall ! Thanks guys! Philippe

My last built is now completed. I'm pretty pround of this one, i realy like the way flamed makore look through danish oil coat. The bass have a clear and slicing sound despite the fact that it's wear passive P-U. I routed a battery pocket 'cause i want to put a EMG BTC control. I finaly didn't put the 3bands preamp... The humbucker can be switched serie/parallel via the mini-switch. My fretted bubinga now have a fretless sister! Click to see some other pics. Philippe

De Trepagny replied to skelf's topic in In Progress and Finished Work
Your bubinga singlecut look terrific! This top have a realy dramatic effect. nice work! Philippe -
Someone know how i could wire my EMG 35HZ to get it in parallel or single coil mode? This is a humbucker: Coil #1 i got a green- and a white+ wire. Coil#2 red- and black + and there's a unwraped ground wire. Any idea are welcome Philippe
-
I built it; 4X4" stud at each corner linked by 2X6" stud. the top is made from two poplar plywood glued together. Four sealer lacquer coat, and i wax it every month. So if glue drop fall on my table, it's easily remouvable. Voilà la recette! Thanks! See ya, Philippe

This is a naptha covered top from another build, but with the same wood. Looking sweet! I will experment with some dye to see what i can do with that stuff. Jon, i borrow the idea from a milling machine. I put 3/8"-16 T-nuts a the back of my bench, extended the bolt with the plastic knob. You can't move the piece on the table with two clamp tited! It's great and cheap Thanks! Philippe
-
This was my last bench so there is not luxury here! Do you have some idea for the F-hole? I want to do something different... something like this Thanks! Philippe

Makore is a lot like mahogany. Same familly? some woodworker say yes. It's just a little bit brighter and reddish. thanks, Philippe

I'm making a new body for my fretless basse. I was not satisfied with the sound and the shape of this one (my first complete build) So the new body is made from a boockmatched flammed makore top/ IPE veener / African mahogany body. The hardware will be black. The bridge is an ALL Parts, EMG HZ pick-up: J at the neck and humbucker at the bridge. active 3-bands EQ that i keep from a job that i've done for a friend. I'm realy exited and impatient to hear the sound 'cause this is the first time i use this P-u configuration. I will probably put an epoxy coat on the fretboard. I want a sharp and edgy fretless sound. Flammed makore is a realy scary thing to work. It chip realy easily but i felt in love with this board! Philippe

What Finish For This Bass?
De Trepagny replied to THIRSTYGUMS's topic in In Progress and Finished Work
Danish Oil or clear nitro... but stay natural. The classical shape of these body, and you're wood selection will not look better with colors. Philippe -
My First Project (in Progress)
De Trepagny replied to travismoore's topic in In Progress and Finished Work
Everything goes fine Travis! You will be able to play it soon Nice pick-up choice! Both p-u blended equaly have this in your face sound. The bridge soloed have less growl than a passive p-u but is still realy descent for jaco's run. Good luck! Philippe -
Di-marzio j-style are great low buck p-u. They sound fat with growl and nice clear high. The j-set are stacked so they sound more like a P than a J p-u. Good for vintage sound. Nice wood choice! Philippe
-
I'm planning my next build and i'm asking which option will be the best. 35" scale or string through body? I know that both option combined will be the best but extra long scale are hard to find here (special order only) I belive that both ways will give me the same string tension but i want to know your opinion. Oh, it gona be a 6 strings bass. thanks! Philippe

clean work! hope to see more soon! Philippe
