I like it!
As usual, I'm willing to be a beta tester for a slight fee

Having practically little body weigh to counter the neck weight:how does it balance on a strap?

Fantastic design and execution, hats off to you.

It's headless and the tunning machines are installed on the body. The tunning machines and the maple weight are enough to balance it. The 4 strings model have normal tunning machines because there is no need for counterweight to avoid unbalance

Thank you!

Wow, what a beauty!

This looks amazing — and practical for travel. How is the neck held on? Can any type of strings be used?

 

[Matt Liebenau]

Interesting design. You should post a build thread in the Luthiers Corner.

Awesome!!!

 

[Bill Whitehurst]

That looks well thought out.
Amazing design and build!

Very cool, and fascinating design! I've never been able to fly with a bass, but it seems this could go overhead on an airplane. And I am working on my fretless skills (and 6-string bass skills), so there's a lot to like here.

Any chance of sound clips of it? Straight to amp and maybe thru a couple of pedals?

[shwashwa]

this is wonderful. can you do a fretted 6 string? and if so, how do we get one??

 

[Five or Six]

Now that's a horse of a different color, good stuff! I'd play that in a heartbeat!

 

[nonohmic]

Great!

I wonder - is there any noticeable sound when sliding a note across the neck joint?

What scale length is it? Really nice design, BTW!
