Short Scale Neck Thru

[senp5f]

Wow! The next time the guitar players start talking about the the length of the tenons in their Les Pauls....I am just gonna send them this.

As to the tuners, it's more traditional to use non-extender keys.

If you're new to building instruments, Stewart MacDonald is a decent one stop shop for tools and parts. You can often find better prices elsewhere, but they have a very easy to use site:

Allparts has a nice selection of bass tuners, though you have to be pretty careful about checking the tech specs before ordering because the descriptions aren't great.

Lastly, there are a few specialty shops that carry hardware. Like this one:

www.bestbassgear.com

As you are probably going to find out, it is pretty hard to get everything you need from one single source.

Thanks for the fast reply, I have been to all of them. I am looking for "that" look... I love the old gear style.
If you come across something awesome, please hit me up...

Very cool design! For what it's worth, I'm using the Babicz bridge on my build, and so far, I am quite impressed with its function and build quality.

Literally just said "What the xxxx" to myself, totally took me by surprise in a good way, a very good way.
Subscribed, eager to see more. This is quite innovative.
Also, I love shortscales, added bonus!

Thank you, I am a stall point. I need to decide on, Pick up's, Tuners and a bridge...
I think I am going with the Lace Pup's in black, Drop Tuners in gold and the Badicz Bridge in gold.

Have you looked at these tuners? $27-35 a piece. They look similar to the other ones you've posted.

You will be impressed with the Babicz bridge. Its very light weight, the adjustments are very smooth, and everything locks down.

$502 has to be a misprint, those tuners sell for $129 at Link Removed

Yeah, I think those are becoming a second or third choice..

The machine work on them appears to be very high end compared to the others.

Hmm, that is nice to know that puts those in a strong second place. I freaked at $502....................
