New Build: Chambered 4-string fretless bass

[HaMMerHeD]

Looks great! I really like the bloodwood bridge and look forward to hearing how the AT-125U sounds in the bass. I've been trying to do something similar with a 6 string, but I'm having trouble sourcing a wide enough transducer (3.5-3.75").

Geoff,

You will probably have to make your own transducer. Look for piezo co-axial cable. It's cheap, and instructions for making your own undersaddle transducer with it can be found here:

Cool, thanks. I'll have a look at that.

I have noticed you have not mentioned the "F" holes in your more recent posts.

Have you decided against having them or are you huts waiting until later to cut them out?

 

[HaMMerHeD]

Decided not to do the F holes.

 

[JJ_in_MI]

With this particular body shape I think you made the right decision in leaving out the "F" holes.

Bass looks nice except for the truss rod cover. That looks really odd because it is symmetrical and the head stock is asymmetrical.
You should rethink that IMO.
Good work!

Very fine work, sir! I'm digging that bridge, both the design, and the materials.

I am wondering if you have ever completed this project and, if so, do you have a video demo posted anywhere?

 

[HaMMerHeD]

I have not finished tit. A few commissioned projects have come up, and they take priority over personal builds.
