Building a cocktail drum kit 🙂

Not exactly a bass, but a part of the rhythm section… 🙂

I play with a pick. Was leaning towards a 32” scale, just because I do not have that size. I think it wil be a jaguar style body. Anyone else have an opinion? Cheers, Tore

Hi I have always been curious on 8 string basses so I decided to build one. But what is the optimal scale? 30”? 32”? 34”? And what nut width are the minimum, I like narrow necks. Hope someone who have build/played one can weigh in. Cheers Tore, Norway 🇳🇴

Thanks all! I will try. I’ll let you all know how it turned out. Cheers.

I am in the process of converting a acoustic guitar to bass. This is my second conversion. I change the fretboard and move the bridge. But I am thinking of installing a magnetic pickup also, I do not want to use a piezo pickup. Is it possible to connect the magnetic pickup to the acoustic...

Hi, long time since last posting. I am in the process of converting a acoustic guitar to bass. This is my second conversion. I change the fretboard and move the bridge. But I am thinking of installing a magnetic pickup also, I do not want to use a piezo pickup. Is it possible to connect the...

This is fishy :) A guitar I built for a friend…

Just stumbeled over this thread. Beautiful bass! Very inspiring! I'm planning a 8 string Music man knockoff and you kickstarted my build! Good you ignored the naysayer’s. Cheers Tore

Is took quite a while to get the pickups, but when I got them they where fantastic! The bass was made in a hurry of a old pine table and a neck I had lying arround. The bass was great, I have to do a bit of work om the body to make it look as good as it sounds. I think this will be a keeper...

I love my Onkart Gromt! Invalid Link Removed Edit: Saw you where looking for a affordable one, I don't think Onkart is so... Cheers Tore

Aaaand the Bass is also finished (exept for the trussrod cover). My youngest son has taken possesion of this one :) Now I can go on to other projects, a 4003 Rickenbacker looks like a fun project.. Thanks for watching Tore

The Guitar is finished! Yeiiii... Cheers Tore

The guitar is allmost finished, have lost the nut, used the strap buttons for other projects and the wife have thrown the strings... Will buy new tomorrow!Cheers Tore

The mandolin is finished, at last... The pickguards need to get the screws in, and I need a string tree for the lighter strings. But it is playable! Have to fiddle a bit with string height an pickup height, but it works:) next up is the guitar. Cheers Tore
