This is what i was doing the last 2 years (and a little more months) Its a torzal twisted neck,47-44"scale,headles,5-string bass. Many special thanks to @Clifford Lee and @MPU for their help and advice. So,here the pics. Enjoy. Here,compared side by side with a 34" scale VIG cobra bass Many thanks to newtone strings for their custom strings set they build for this monster
Hi, Congratulation ! What kind of truss/rod did you choose ? It seem you didn't twisted the laminated wood of the neck. Did you ? How much angle is there finally ? What kind of gig did you used to make the twist ?
It sound very very clear,with great harmonic content. I choose a common double actin truss rod and modified it and build it longer. The wood isnt twisted,its routed this way.I am not sure about the angles because is more than a year since i build the neck.Maybe 23 at the nut and 18 at the bridge. The jig was a DIY jig.I have a pic when i started to building it but without the router on it
I dont have home recording equipment,just an audio interface.If i record with a camera,it will sound terrible.I have to go in recording studio to do some clips
a bass many would say "I would never build that" due to the complexity alone, but you did and it is awesome. congrats! I'm sure it was technically challenging, but the unique factor is top shelf.
My congratulations. I would, however, be utterly forced to show up at the Repair Desk at Guitar Center and ask them if they could take a look at my axe, 'I think the neck is twisted . . . . . .'
Apparently there *is* a best bass for metal. Looks exactly like what I'd expect the loudest band in the universe, Disaster Area, to have in their backline.
