EEEEEEEeeeeee.. got tracking numbers today my 8 string neck is finally finished and it should be here Monday, they made a mistake with the first neck and put the wrong piece of ziricote on it so it took an extra few weeks, I cant wait to see the actual piece I chose because I cant remember what it looks like

can't wait to see those pic's

3 coats of Watco in I think that'll do, I'll let it cure for a few days and hit it with some wax . Should be set up by the weekend .

Ooof. What kind of neck is going on that?

Nevermind, I saw it on the previous page. That thing's gonna be a looker.

it's going to be interesting to hear it without any controls , I hope it's not to crazy bright . I may have to had a resistor or cap or something to ground if so . It's a Nordstrand Big Split coil

If you feel compelled to do so, please post some audio of this one when it is completed! I love the direction it is going with the single Nordstrand straight to the output jack.

 

[fretno]

will do !

 

[TapyTap]

will do !

Thanks...looking forward to it! I'm probably not the only one.

Very nice!

 

[fretno]

Thanks man ! did a quick test over a odd little drum track this morning , direct in from a Joe Meek VC1 , no effect just dry . so a little funny , I cut my finger building this yesterday , cutting the foam with a razor I sliced in to one of the important fingas so now it's more bloodwood than Rosewood but check it out

Thanks for the audio sample fretno! Sounds good!

What strings are you using on this one?

 

[fretno]

Thanks man , I just realized I tracked that with the high pass on ( 100 hz), usually i do that for my p bass but forgot to turn it off . doh I'll have to track it again later on, anyway those are DAddario 40-95's

 

[kzr750r1]

Nice job on the finish.

 

[fretno]

Thanks !
'nother wee test , main part is dry but now with the high pass off , solo has 'verb & delay , couldn't resist ...

Damn you man. Pretty much sold me except it would be fretted, volume, and tone. Someday...
Dig the brightness, Clarity comes to mind. Must be a trip not to have knobs to fiddle.

No problem. It will be interesting to hear it with the high pass off...more audio samples works for me. Plus, it will be fun to compare with your first recording. By the way, I appreciate that you recorded the signal dry.

Are those D'Addario strings nickel?

 

[fretno]

Thanks Fellas , yeah I wanted to get the dry sound out of the way , it's hard for me as I love to eq and compress and add grit and do things to it . What I get from that track is , clarity but yet with very nice overtones as well as just enough low end for a solo Bridge p/u I'd call it healthy . It also has a good level , I'd say "normal" not too hot or weak but right in there . I'm dig'in the Big Split . TT I should have gave you the model , they are EXL220BT super light Nickel wounds . Cheers

Thanks man, I just love me some details.

The Big Split seems to work well in both of your audio samples; it looks like you have a keeper! I'm totally sold on the single pickup straight to the jack.

Can anyone here tell me how a 24 fret Warmoth neck looks/works on a Fender jazz body? Does the fretboard overhang get really close to the pickup? How accessible are those upper frets?

here you go.. a few pics of my new 24 fret 8 string neck on a warmoth dinky jazz body I'd alter the cutaway some but its a chamberd body so that's a no go.
in my opinion the last 3 frets wer a waste of $25 in my case and they block the truss rod access

so I might cut them off or possibly put the neck on a body with better upper fret access
