Singlecut or Doublecut Design...

[Lokire]

Just getting some general opinions here - Which of these two designs do you like better?:

 

[MrWalker]

The single-cut, I think

But both are nice.

 

[Platypus_Of_420]

double-cut, both are great, but theres something about single-cuts that look awkward to me

 

[bassteban]

What happened to the hollowbody dealio?
BTW, #1 is also nice.

I like the single-cut best. But loose the 'knob parade'!

I quite like the knob parade, as well as the spectating switches & bystanding input jack.

 

[Lokire]

I like the knob parade too - and it's all very usefull stuff

I could have done most of those switches into push/pull pots instead, but I've never been a big fan of push/pull pots. I'd much rather have an easy switch to flick, and I kind like how nice they look all lined up

There are 7 knobs on the 7 string, but they're not as tidily arranged as I might have liked. Certainly not a parade. 6 knobs & 3 switches on the 6. Definitely a parade. 3 on the 4: a mere get-together. Perhaps only a chance encounter...

BTW, I see you like front-mounted output jacks. Do you, like me, sit on the floor & plunk the bass? Man, that just didn't sound right...

Ah hell yeah. The floor, a couch, a cushy beanbag. Whatever's comfortable

Those side mounted jacks are just asking for trouble anyways


Oh & BTW (for those of you keeping track): I think I've ditched the hollowbody idea for this bass. As nice as it looks, I'm going for a full-on solidbody tone. Maybe I'll get some cool fingerboard inlay instead...

I prefer the double cut.

 

[mike sancho]

SC all the way for me, sweet look!!

 

[mark beem]

Single cut...

 

[ClassicJazz]

Double Cut......looks sharp!

Those single cut basses just never appealed to me. Also I would think the double cut would be a bit lighter, which would be a factor for me after playing a 16 ton Alembic for 15 years!

 

[KayCee]

Both designs are nice, but I prefer the SC.

BTW, why so many knobs? Is this a piezo bridge?

I would say that if you MUST have this many knobs, it would look nice if they were wood, either matching or complimenting the top.

Good luck!

+1

 

[Freddy]

The SC looks good...

 

[JHL]

Singlecut FTW!

Yep, piezo bridge. So piezo volume and piezo tone added to your usual 3 band pre controls. The knobs probably will be ebony

[teacherguy]
