Fretless 7 progress pic

Say hello to Grace, my third Stambaugh.

 

Maple & purpleheart neck through maple wings w/flamed maple top, maple-bound bubinga-lined maccassar ebony fingerboard, single Aero humbucker+piezo bridge, Bartolini preamp(can't recall which model), separate blendable outputs for mag & piezo, WIDE(ouch)spacing, extended 'thumbrest'/fingerboard, uh, ummm....
Chris told me the wood & finish should be done next week. Then we wait on hardware. Then we learn to play... He(Chris)also said he would send some more pics in a day or two- I'll keep you guys posted.

 

That's still up in the air- I'll ask Chris tomorrow.

 

Yeah, Chris called & said he had this sweet piece of mac ebony, but it wouldn't be wide enough unless he added binding. I was like, "Oh yeah!" Lokire, I keep thinking it was either you or jayt that got me thinking of the dual outputs- do you have a 5 string Stammie?

 

For me, 3/4", or about 19mm. But I like to have plenty of meat on either side of the outside strings so I don't slip off w/my trademark sloppy technique.

 

Replies, anyway-
1. Jaucqo, it will have an ABM bridge. I'm not sure if they make a stock 7/piezo or if Chris will have to modify something.
2. Elros, I think I asked for oil- if not, polyurethane, like my fretted 6 Stammie.
3. Geoffe, the bump is where the dual output jacks were going to go, but I've talked to Chris & he's going to relocate them on the face of the bass(so I can plug in, sit down & space out...). The fingerboard ext. was/is my idea- I sketched it & mailed the drawing in, along w/my design for the inlay.
4. Jacksonsmen, no midi. Maybe next bass...

Everybody else, thanks for the comments. New pics may take a few days; I'm really trying not to bother or rush the man. On my 6, it missed being in Bassplayer mag's buyer's guide by a couple of days.

Edit: Hey, Joe- feel free to post pics. Finger the bass if you get the chance.
