Now I the opportunity to get a...

    Multi Scale for EADGC, does it make sense?

    Hi, I am a EADGC player with a 34" regular scale bass. I like having the low notes I use to have in my 4 string bass. I like not having a very sympathetic low B to control. And I rarely use lower notes than E, and when I do I can tap on my pedalboard to get it. I like playing some chords and I...

    Fretless Fanned Fret Bass

    Hi, Has anyone out there ever built a fretless fanned fret bass? When I say fretless, I mean with flush fret lines and markers. If so, I would like to know your lessons learned and how you protected the neck from the onslaught of the strings without frets to protect it. Thanks, Kerry

    B strings, 35+ inch scales, fanned frets

    Every time I've picked up a 5 string bass at a store the B string seemed rather clunky and not very musical. But maybe an extra long scale helps? 35 inches or more. However the longer scale could be quite a stretch and harder to move around the fret board. Maybe a fanned fret bass would...
