Custom Bass Wait Support Group Needed [Part 3]

[spade2you]

Nice bridge. Im wonder what are those little circles between the bridge and the pickup just under each string.

String ferules. They use up a few inches of string to allow for use of normal bass strings. Ordinarily, it would be really hard to find a way to get the low B to fit in the tuning peg. Since nobody makes a 31" scale 5 string set, this seems to be the best idea.

 

[eleonn]

Indeed. Nice way out.

[Ozonbass]

Currently waiting on this one.

Birdsong, Cortobass, mahogany wings, bloodwood stringers, poplar....black hipshot hardware, some fancy personalization

Tough to wait!

Quick update on my custom Bassculture 5f.

It´s "the torture never stops" phase

 

[smakbass]

Im back in the group.

I'm waiting on a 4 string Birdsong Cortobass. It's a 2006 Summertime Special body -- Mahogany wings, Maple center and Walnut pinstripes. The wait's killing me.

 

[Rudyboy98]

It's on the way...in a few months (or so I hear...)

Check the progress on my bass on TB~!

 

[smakbass]

My new bass will be:
Laurence Mollerup 5 string
Lined fretless board (fb to be determined)
Maple neck
Chambered walnut body with paduak top
Single Nordstrand dual coil p/u
Passive Vol only.

 

[Hoover]

Aw crap, I was hoping I wouldn't have to post in this thread... !

In December '07 I ordered a custom neck from a well-respected luthier (who gets lots of props here on TB) for a bass I've got; was told it would be completed "early next year."

It's now going on five months, he hasn't been able to even give me a ballpark guesstimate when it will be actually finished, or even send me pics of the neck in progress as I requested. Sigh...

 

[MODNY]

i'm waiting for my next f bass to be completed.

What are the specs and kind of bass?

 

[pmaraziti]

Sweet!!!!

What are the specs and kind of bass?

It's a Benavente SCD6, walnut body, Benavente pups and preamp... In the link with the pictures, I also have the full specs...

Cannot wait to put my hands on it!

 

[RLK]

Been a while since checking in;
Some amazing stuff (as usual)
Those Birdsongs are so short-scaley-uniquely cool.
Modney- How long the wait for the F bass?
Pmaraziti-The Bennie is a jaw-dropper!
Its seems you have one more control than is listed in your specs (vol/vol/vol/treble/mid/bass). A master volume?

A refresher on the specs for my Ramirez, which was commisioned last December:

After preliminary work, she’s been waiting her turn behind rudyboy98's bubinga beauty.
(everything is still on schedule )

Glad she’s been sitting because in the meantime, we’ve agreed to changes/upgrades (listed on the render).

The body so far.

maple board, ash body
no face dots
dakota red, matching headstock


but some of the wood you've all shown have given me wood!!

this is one club im looking forward to getting out of!!!!

thanks to Roger, Kevin and the gang at Sadowsky for putting up with me and their suggestions!!!

 

[Stewmc5222]

I thought this was the year I got out of the club (new Conklin 10 and Bee 4 coming soon), but I am talking with no less than 4 builders about new instruments.

to paraphrase Cartman, it has warped my fragile little mind!

 

[P_bass]

Awaiting final inspection. Should ship next week.

Ouch is that sweet!!!! Wow....

 

[logicman69]

Damn, these basses are all sweet!!!!

I'm still waiting for the build to start on my DP Custom Sunglecut. *sigh*
