Über-Groove with graphite neck

[jmorbita]

so what do you do with the threaded insert you epoxied? you let that one stay, or do you replace that one as well?

Yeah, the left one looks very short with small threads. Guess you'll be luckier with the one on the right. Got more numbers of threads and goes deeper into the neck.

Yes, I thought so too and went with those

so what do you do with the threaded insert you epoxied? you let that one stay, or do you replace that one as well?

The epoxy was for the dowel. Tight fit with epoxy inside the hole and around the dowel. The insert is only screwed in, no epoxy.

And here's the OBP3 in all its glory and miles of wires

Now I'm only left with cutting a new nut. The Tusq blanks have arrived.

I can't wait to plug it in

 

[jmorbita]

wow that's extra tidy!

 

[miziomix]

Finished and ready to go. Sound clips will follow.

Thank you for following this build!

Beautiful!

 

[jmorbita]

very nice! thanks for sharing!

 

[miziomix]

Thank you so much!

Now I am eagerly waiting for the new string anchors I have designed for this bass. Right now those mounted on are the prototypes.

My first impression about the sound and playability is that, you can tell with your eyes closed that it's a graphite neck. The way your thumb bounces off the strings it unmistakeably graphite-ish

Also, I like the combo Bartolini/Aguilar/graphite. But the coolest of all has got to be the fiber optics I never knew I was a sucker for those gimmicks. I am ahahahaha

Anyway, thank you so much guys. I am very proud of this build and it's great to share it with you.

I'll get those sound clips uploaded soon

Wow! Beautiful bass!

 

[suraj]

Wow..!! this turned out fabulous..!!

 

[miziomix]

SaintMez, Suraj, thank you. I'm glad you like it.

Suraj, I made a mistake when I said that the bass will end up in Mumbai. It is going to Bangalore instead. Guess that's a bit far, eh? Heck, India is a big country

 

[bassfran]

Man, that's a beautiful build!

I really like the 'private chamber' you made for the 9v in the control cavity. That's a neat touch.

Hey, yeah I realized that somewhere in one of your posts in one of your threads you mentioned sandeeps full name. A quick search revealed he's from bangalore definitely far far away. But I do visit bangalore on rare occasions, so someday, I will check this bass out..!!
