NBD - A Very Long Multiscale

[Alex Xander]

Here’s a build I just finished for myself. 40.6”-37” multiscale. F#BEADG. Timber is almost entirely an Australian native called forest oak. It’s a ripper and I can’t wait to gig it.

Stainless jumbo frets
Twin 12mm x 3mm neck reinforcement
Custom Trident pickup
Push button on/off
Push button G&L OMG wiring

too much!

you've done it again, @Alex Xander --- another unique creation = wow! it just looks crazy cool, and i'll bet it's off-the-charts fun to play...even though it's "very long!"

i hope we'll hear it at some point --- in the meantime, congratulations on your new instrument!

 

[BassmanM]

Congratulations! Looks great, I hope your arms are long enough to reach the first fret....

A headless version would be cool too.

 

[Geepers]

Wow, great job . This guy can probably give you a few tips on technique:

 

[thisheregiraffe]

That looks incredible! Very well done.

 

[UNICORN BASS]

Oh WOW! That's all i got.

 

[nonohmic]

Great job cobber.

The location of the strap pin makes it look aaaalmost reachable to the first fret.

 

[burgerdj]

Pure insanity - love it!

 

[fjbass78]

Wow! You got skills

 

[MojoPin]

Cool body design, I bet it sits comfy while sitting too like a Strandberg.

 

[B Minor Threat]

What style music do you play?

To quote Keanu…Whoa!!!

 

[Gilmourisgod]

Dang, that is an amazing build. Love the grain on the neck back, some really cool figure there. You got some serious building chops.

 

[BunchyMutt]

This really is astounding. As a fan of fanned fret, extra long scale 6 strings, hope to try it one day. I'm so glad the pickup ended up being used in this way

 

[MVE]

That’s amazing!
It will have a real presence on stage.

How much does it weigh?

 

[Five or Six]

Now that is different! Just what I like, "different". What's that puppy weigh, looks fairly light??
