Benavente 7 string fretless custom build pics!

[Thomas Kievit]

I really hope it'll come alright with the top wood That piece of wood looks good for the headstock Can't wait for the end result. Now a lame question : Since the bass is fretless, are the slots in the fingerboard for the fretlines?

 

[jasonmasters]

yeah they will be black veneer lines.

 

[Thomas Kievit]

I'm drooling already and I haven't seen the end result yet

 

[jasonmasters]

Seriously... not being able to play it right now kinda stressing me out! Hehe

 

[Thomas Kievit]

Other than the pictures from the original post, all of the pictures are taken with my android phone... it's terrible...

once some more substantial progress has been made on the bass I'll borrow my dads nikon and get higher quality pictures!

 

[Thomas Kievit]

Hmm.. Luckily a month isn't so long.

 

[fivestringdan]

Damn, if he's done with this batch in a month I gotta come up with some more money!

[jasonmasters]

I'd hope for it to be done at least by mid august, since we started it in april

I think that's quite reasonable for that time..

What's your planned tuning? Like a guitar still, with additional higher or lower string?

 

[jasonmasters]

Yeah, it will be exactly like a 7 string guitar
