I wonder if maybe the bridge pickup shouldnt have been angled. It seems like the bridge is going to be close to the pickup, giving a kinda thin sounding high end. I hope thats not the case of course.

I wouldn't be concerned in that way, my only concern might be not being able to get a more J-bass like bridge pickup tone from the bass. Jean may not want that. I'm not sure how this bass is being strung, but for the low strings (C#, F#) the further pickup placement should give a deeper tone.

Thats true, I was just curious about the negative side effects on the higher strings from doing that. Part of the reason I went with angled on my Skjold was the high C bridge piece would be right next to the pickup if it were straight and would make my high strings sound more guitarlike for lack of a better term.

I don't know that there's necessarily anything wrong with that.

Your right, there isnt hehe. Its not the sound *I* wanted out of my higher strings is all

Just a thought. I've found that truss rods work better when they're inside the neck. Maybe that's just my preference though.

Nice bass!

You're nuts Jean.

In a good way

 

[Jazz Ad]

I really like how the body doesn't look insanely big or unpractical.
These 12 strings seem to fit into the Naia shape pretty well.

 

[Cliff Bordwell]

That's a monster JP!

 

[Brian Barrett]

Very, Very Nice JP!!! You bring this over the pond for the NAMM show?

How will you access the trussrods?

(the pegholes seem curiously placed )

Otherwise, it's pretty.

 

[Micolao]

Well...what can I say?
