Any one know how the tuners work on this?

[richtea]

hi guys. may be missing somthing obvious but where are and what kind of tuners are on this bass.

[ZombieSpacebat]

on the back of the headstock or bridge i would imagine.

On this Marleaux Pagelli, there are headless style tuners at the bridge end at the under side of the body If I remember correctly.
There are pics online. Just google it and I'm sure it'll all be revealed.

I bet the action on that thing is SICK!!

[richtea]

ok thanks guys, I Did google a bit, just not hard enough by the looks of things. I just love the clean look of this bass, might have a go at somthing similar.

I saw pics of that Pagelli Golden Bass years ago. Its clean, streamlined design and hidden hardware made quite on impact on me.

I've used headless hardware on 3 of my basses, and have been tempted to hide the tuning bridge on the back of the body like this one, but haven't done it yet. I say go for it!

really really tempted to fly right into it, unfortunatly I have promised to build a bass for a friend first If he finds out i have started somthing else first, I am a dead man.

It says self made and mounted on the rear....

Pagelli is the first I'm aware of to do rear-mounted bridge-end tuners like that.

For another interpretation, look up Ritter Royals.

Nice bass. My only nit is that the pegbox is backwards. In my experience, a short G string "tied down" right behind the nut with a more vertical break angle gives better sustain and helps with the twangy-ness, and an E string that has some length gives better overtones and character.

I hope you're joking.

Or, it could be that a short G string "tied down" right behind the nut with a more vertical break angle gives better overtones and character, and an E string that has some length gives better sustain and helps with the twangy-ness.

Or, it could be that none of it makes any difference.

Or, it could be that it has some effect on open notes, but is entirely meaningless anywhere else on the fretboard.

Or, < insert other theory >.



Until you make a bass with a peghead with four extra holes, allowing reconfiguration of the tuners to either of those two geometries on the same particular bass, and then run a double-blind test, you will never know.
