No more CNC for the neck now (in case you believed a machine could make a bass lol) , pure hand craftmanship :

I've never heard of vavona before, but now I want it.

 

[Dave Higham]

Vavona is another name for redwood burl.

 

[pasco jacorius]

Exactly !

I've got a few more pics there.

Basically , he has glued the two veneers (maple and walnut) under the top , and joined the two sides of the top together. He has also fashioned a template for the neck pocket (and it looks quite good !!! ) .

Hi there ,

I've got some pics of the pickups that will go into that beauty ! Tom made them a bit like the duncan/fodera concept (alnico 2), with some secret ingredient ) ! The CNC is set up to mimmic hand winding and the coils are wound asymmetrically to reach a wider frequency range.

These threads make me sad. I want a CNC laser cutter but I would have to cash out my 401k to afford it.

Found a bassist to play that CNC built bass of your.

Yeah jealous

 

[pasco jacorius]

We could say the same of any bass that wasn't built with teeth and an old knife . But this video makes sense if we talk about "drum machines" ) .

[pasco jacorius]

You build them with your teeth ?
