Too bad it looks like the shell pink short scale 4 string was discontinued? The 30-32 scale 5 string model looks super interesting, hope i can lay hands on one to try out sometime.

Maybe Im coming off as aggressive, but it was just a silly joke, not trying to make an argument lads.

Yeah that was the point of omitting them. I dont disagree with the comment as a whole, that one line is just an objectively funny thing, to say something is a copy except for basically its entire physical design. Coke is just like Orange juice except for the Taste and Texture

Back mounted and upwards tilted jacks are super handy actually, harder to pull out by stepping on a cable, tuck up around the strap nicely. Ive had a few ormsbys that used a similar position, it works well No truss rod cover is an upcharge because it requires someone to manually interrupt CNC...

Just saying, thats a pretty funny statement.

For the love of god, I hope ibanez starts doing some of these in proper gloss finishes. Meh on the satins in general, and the open pore raw tone stuff on the wood/burl tops really isnt my bag. Bet they would really pop with a gloss finish on.

Oh, never posted updates with the new pickups and wiring! Took a little routing to clean up the pickup routes and slightly widen them for the Barts, i think we also sunk dowels in under where the screws went to lift em up more and have a bit more meat for the screws. electronics, big switch is...

Curious, what about this would make it better for sight reading?

Are you talking about the Korean GTR line? Because I dont think any of those apply to those. And for what they are, they are priced pretty great.

Crossing my fingers for a short scale model!

If Im being honest with myself, I'd probably be happier with a 4 string, despite loving 7 string guitars Ive found going from 7 to 6 on guitar, and 5 to 4 on bass to be much more natural. But I'd still be very interested in a 5 string multiscale, but IMO the least attractive finishes are on the...

Im surprised that the pearl white 4 strings arent more popular, they are lovely looking, imo better than the seafoam or black of the 5 strings. Maybe by the time I am in the market for another bass(after i get a new neck for my SS, and my Ormsby 7 string guitar arrives), Ibanez will have some...

The 6 string colour is by far the best looking colour for the EHB's, i like that it doesnt have a really thick burst around it either, you can see the body wood on the arm comfort cut. Really unfortunate that the two best exotic finishes(Black Ice and Dragon Eye) arent available on their most...

Damn I wish that orangeish burst colour was available on the multiscale models. Or the grey scale 6 string colour !

Incoming, ordered a pair of Bartolini Original M44C soapbars off reverb, will be wiring them up for series, parallel and split coil with 2 small 3 way toggles. Feel i got a decent price on them, really not much out there for soapbars that are even close in dimensions to these odd ducks(hamer...

Got some good sunny pictures! Minor changes in these, some major ones incoming I'll list below. So far: A new Graphtec Nut, which is amazing. Original plastic nut looked like poopie, had super uneven string spacing(like several mm out). New one was a night and day difference for playability. Cant...

The two piece headless bridge on those is really neat.

I sure wouldnt mind seeing it. I really doubt with the price of headless hardware that they would release crappy entry level stuff, but yeah Im after higher end as well. I love me some kiesels(have several guitars, but not as hot on the vader shape as a bass). Also, top horn needs to get...

Old thread here, but just had to say how much I like your bass. Im a big short scale and headless fan, and that demo he did sounded fantastic.

I was pretty set on it before I remembered how much I prefer short scales. If they make a EHB 30" 4 string I would be selling off stuff right now to afford it.

So as someone who is pretty sold on my shortscale 30" four string, but also interested in possibly branching back out into 5 stringers(my first bass was a 35" 5 string BTB, was a bit much for me but sounded great), do you think the slightly less short 32" scale would be convincing for a 5 string...

Lighter overall, way less neck dive on any given instrument, tend to have more stable tuning. Pack easy(a 34" headless would likely be shorter overall than a short scale bass, which already normally fit into electric guitar sized bags/cases) which is a big difference for touring people, or going...

I dont really have much time on a multiscale bass(aside from a Dingwall, which had too much "spread" for me) but I had an ormsby 7 string multiscale guitar for a year or two and replaced it with a kiesel osiris multiscale 6 string. No problems with multiscale as long as the spread is...

Thanks so much! My Kiesel Guitar was actually the reason I decided to do this style of bevel, I got that guitar specifically because I figured it would be better for my wrist with chronic tendonitis(it is). I think I might still have refinished it, possibly with a more traditional bent top...

Damn, didnt realize that video had super loud construction noise in the background. Reuploaded it with the sound muted, since I cant edit/delete posts here I'll just repost the new link since the old one is dead.

I dont know that Im the best person to ask(I also used my luthier friend as a consultant for this) but hit me up, Id be glad to weigh in. Just because I only had 2 abalone knobs in my parts bin! Soon as I get another one, I'll be swapping it in there. Also the chrome jackplate and a few chrome...

Here's a short video I took outside(probably as good sunlight as we can expect for a while, sadly)

While Im spamming my stuff, this video shows it pretty well

Thank you, was a lot of dust flying around here! see if this video works.

As far as I know they are just Hamer single coils, very basic but they have a nice tone.

Well, some of it is! The neck is original, and the pickups, and the bodywood underneath(albiet heavily reshaped). New electronics, pots and knobs, new bridge. two of the neck screw holes were plugged and relocated along with the change from plate to ferrules. pickup routes were rerouted to...

Hehehe, guess you like it?

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. It was definitely a labour of love and much frustration to get it to that point. Not my first guitar mod, but definitely the most extensive. Lots of firsts for me.

Used to be a Hamer SB4f pawnshop beater.

Imo the colouring on the 6 string is by far the best of the whole range. Too bad I could never force myself into a 6, 5 string I can see.

Thank you very much! It was a lot of hard work(having to start and restart the finishing/level sanding process several times over really slowed it all down and i stalled out for months) but Im really glad with how it turned out.

I posted in here a while ago with my pawn shop Hamer slammer SB4f in progress mods, might as well do a nice update post now that they are basically complete. Before: Ugly burst over photoflame, no arm bevel, zero 17-20fret access, no belly cut, chintzy bridge. Loved the short scale, how it...
