Thank you. Almost done with it, prototype P2-1, will be starting P2-2 soon and I can’t wait to finish the P2-1 and get P2-2 going!

Title basically says it all, what do you acoustic lovers think?

I just built an acoustic four string 33-35 scale with 26 frets

Why is it a waste?

Engineer said the bass can’t be passive with the buffer, has to be active, though it could be passive if I turned piezo off. Idk, still have not wired it up

So I’m putting together hr-3.3ap/918 and mpb2/918 wiring kits,, notice the buffer plan shows a 25k volume pot, but is a regular pot. The volume pot on 3.3ap is a 250k switch style pot for changing passive to active. This bass has one m45cbc hummbucker pickup. Will I need to take the 250k volume...

Do you know how to make a piezo buffer from scratch? I ordered a couple of Bartolini buffers for mag and piezo but I would like to make them from scratch and I only know how to solder, plus I also weld, but transistors, resistors, and pot designing is above my head, though I can follow a plan

I ordered Bartolini mp2/918 buffer to run a five string Bart pickup and piezo together. First one I ordered three weeks ago is lost in mail, so I ordered another today from eBay. During all this waiting I started looking for a schematic to make a buffer from scratch, because logically it’s...

Thanks , I will be checking every source

Flat wound and Tapewound plugged in an amp is fine, I’m creating loud bass guitars that can compete acoustically with guitars. And I would still have to have those manufactured at 43” as well. I personally don’t like tail pieces, preferably be nice to get the longer strings, then there is no...

Yep, I’m building one offs and when I emailed D’Addario first thing I asked is what is the minimum. If I was so lucky to sell and have a cliental specific to these, I would continuously supply the strings. Acoustic bass string market is basically a selection of 7-10 brands with only 1or 2...

I’m building a series of acoustic basses. I don’t want tail pieces and want to mount the strings in tail block

i need 44” long acoustic bass guitar strings. Who will make these for me or sells them? I already bought 1/4 scale stand up bass string which are too big in dia. Thanks.

so I built a laminated neck with 3/4” cherry and walnut spaced by 1/16” oak veneers. Used tite-bond for the neck lam. Then glued on Padauk fret board with tite-bond, but I want to pull it off and redo the glue on. I’m aware of the Iron and towel, the heated hot knife, wire, etc tech. I’m...
