i like the shape!! :thumbsup:

Thank you! Yes the E and G string are close to the edge but it's not a problem, especially from the 12th fret to the 1st the edge is far enough from the strings.

Thank you! it's easy to play even the spring spacing is bigger than the usual and the sound is brighter from a fender p bass due to the stiffer wood i used.

i'm in for the plain jane with 3 types of wood.

after a year i finally managed to complete my first built!! Link Removed Link Removed Link Removed Link Removed Link Removed Link Removed Link Removed

sorry i didn't mentioned that it's fretless

that's true, i hold it with my fingertip at the right place (i marked the position of the saddle before) but you can put the saddle a bit forward so when you tight the string it goes at the right place. The most basic thing is to intonate once and mark the saddle position for each string.

I don't think that wooden bridges are out of interesting nowadays so forgive me for resurrecting this thread, this is my version with stainless steel saddles moving back and forward for intonation tuning AND switching from 34 to 35 inches scale (maybe 34 and a half). the shape of the saddles...

haha empty head maybe?

i received an email from Becky at 27 of september that she shipped them. I just wait for the package now.

two more. why i can't upload up to two at once?

ok here are the pictures :cool:

So! the project is about to complete! after almost a year strings are in place and some noise is producing. Everything is handmade except the strings, the tuners and the truss rod. The nut is from synthetic marble, fretboard and bridge is iroko and the saddles are made from stainless steel...

Maybe the fb under the not buzzing strings is deeper sanded and under the others is less so the action is not the same as it was. Try to increase action at E and A or check the action at nut, maybe you need to raise the nut from the E side a bit.

well done!!

brilliant idea! subscribed.

Hello, i was searching for used amps on the internet and i came across a swr 350x, its price is 2-3 times less its new, what do you think? i'm planning to use a piezo pickup with a diy preamp along with the bill lawrence p/j set, are they compatible?

thanks again all of you i'll keep searching at your marks!

man this is a lot more expensive than the greek one, thanks for the info anyway!

Thank you guys, where can i find preamp for bass at this price?

Just ordered a p/j set from Bill Lawrence (wildepickups)!

What happened with this axe?! Is it finished?

i will damage it if i use it with a piezo on a bass? or it will not work properly?

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] is working in a bass? any info?

I wish the best for this amazing couple! i just ordered a p/j set for my project.

due to my lack of experiense i decided to cut off the fifth string so the project is a four stringed fretless hybridontknowifwillwork headless bass with a piezo pickup. what the hack it's my first built so i'm free to experiments! The hardware is the cheapest i can find.. :smug:

i' d like to pick a number too. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f57/first-build-5er-neck-through-713167/. turned to be a 4 string finally.

beautiful instrument..

What's the functional issues of that assembly? Today i drilled the holes for the tuners...:hmm:

Did anyone tried to put the tuners of a headstock at the bridge instead of the headless tuners?

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

thank you, this forum (all of you) is the best place to search and ask about basses. As soon as i finish it will be the first place to post photos :-)

inspiring work! thank you!

Hi, what's your suggestions for a 5string fretless 34 inch scale with one piezo at the bridge. can i combine it with one music man type pickup? i love the acoustic sound but i also like the deep growling .. :help:

the force from the expansion can't be beaten by any glue, unless if you want to throw bows with that guitar... search for a kind of aluminum with less expansion

I'm starting to think along the lines of a mechanical approach. Right now I'm thinking of screwing it down, using screws in between the outermost strings, right at the typical places fingerboard markers are. Perhaps a countersunk screw, and then cover the screw top with a round aluminum inlay...

It's similar to the japanese koto as dirk said, you can make amazing things with this instrument check this video: it's Lateralus from Tool covered by a koto orchestra! Sorry for not answering the question but i think that this video will make you crazy to built one of those!! ps: oh! and...
