Hi. I know this post is old. Just curious, did you sell it?

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I found it! It took me a while but I did find it! Bassimer STD

I did try bass player but no one replied to my info request. So basically i turned to this forum in hope to find an answer.

Hello! I have a post related to this post in the luthier's corner. I'm wondering if there's a Bass Player Mag collector here that may still have in his collection the May, June and July 2010 issues. I once saw a picture of a bass guitar with an ebow inserted in the body that was aligned tp...

Thank you all for replying to this post. I know it works becaus I did see it on a magazine. One of the main objectives of this post is to find again that issue or a picture of that article about that bass. I'd love to see again how the ebow was placed. How far the ebow was from the neck...

Hello, Without any hope to find what I'm looking for, I have decided to post a very odd request here. I live in Costa Rica And back in 2010 I went to us and stayed there for 2 months. While heading to Mineapolis I found a bass related magazine (that is one of the main issues i can't...

I can't wait for the pickup and the pickguard to arrive. I want to verify a couple of things to make sure the templates are accurate before routing the neck pocket and the pickup cavity...

Hi to all, I see you have been discussing a little the fact that USA CG does not have a fender style neck/headstock... I've been working during the last 9 months on a new bass vi built... I cut the body but I bought a usa cg neck... I used a bass vi original tracing and sanded the...

Doable! for sure... my first home made bass vi was built using a kawai 30'' bass neck i got from ebay... make sure you are placing the bridge at the right spot since if you place the bridge too far or too close to the nut bone... you may end up experiencing some intonation issues... If you...

Hi to all, It's been a while since I posted here the last time... This is just a quick message... and actually I'm not sure If I'll get busted/banned for this post... I have 1 inch wide BASS VI bridge bases... like these ones... I get those made every 3 months in small quantities... I'm...

Yesterday I completed my Fender VI replica… My brother completed the wiring and it sounded great. The only thing I need to fix is something related to the Bridge pickup… I’m getting some noise from that pickup… It’s been a long wait… since 1991 when I discovered that Robert Smith...

Here's an update... I strung my bass last week end and I took a picture but unfortunately is not a good one... I still need to drill some holes for the volume and tone knobs... Then I need to complete the wiring. This is how my project looks so far: I expect to finish this...

Thank you for your comment on my music. At this moment I'm recording some more music and a friend of mine is helping me with the guitars... I'll post more music as soon as we are done. And thank you for your suggestions related to the bass scale. M.Asimov...

Thank you for your suggestion. Actually since I was missing one fret I had to push back the bridge and the tremolo 1" to have the proper 30" scale. I made sure I have 30" to avoid having intonation problems. You may have noticed I won't use a pickguard and control plate for the knobs... I...

Hi to all! I've been visiting this forum to collect information on Short Scale Basses. I've been thinking about buying a Fender VI or buy one from Christophe Huort... Unfortunately now buying this instrument is out of my budget... so... I decided to build one with all the information...
