    Absolutely gorgeous bass. Love your hours and hours of hands on and CNC wizardry. Lots of features, compressed fit back plate, zero frets, led fingerboard, and lots more. Sounds fabulously epic for such a tiny bass. Can’t wait to play it. Thanks guys for your hard work.

    Cool! It reminds me of Stanley Clark’s piccolo basses. I would probably go with a high C from a 6 string set instead of the low b for the fifth string. It’ll be hard getting enough tension on there for the scale length!

      The final version of this will have Dogal strings on it. It’s specifically made for basses of this scale. It would sound like a normal full scale bass.

    Really great shop!
    Very impressed with all of it, except for the bass though, I'm sorry to say. But that's just my own preference, I wont offer more than that.
    I always say instruments are like tattoos and girlfriends, as long as you like it and they inspires you to be your best, then good for you!!!
    Beautiful choice of woods and attention to details was spot on all through to process, brilliant.
    I'd love for you to make a bass for me if I had the money.
    Thanks for posting this. This was time well spent for me today, very inspirational!

      @gustavgabrek3047 9 месяцев назад +1

      I am glad you like the build.
      The instrument is not out of tune by itself, but actually it requires a bit more skill to play than regular basses. With this scale you can bend the notes for 4 half steps without any problem, and with that in mind, the smallest bend makes the noticeable difference in the pitch. When you combine that with my below average bass playing skills, you get a bit out of tune demo. When played by better musician, it sounds incomparably better. :)

    Love the bass. It would be great for travel, particularly in comparison with say a 4 string Traveler bass. How is the B string not floppy though? What type of strings are you using? I custom built my 30 inch scale 5 string and the B string is borderline in terms of tension. I am just curious how this bass does not have a ton of rattle in the lower strings. Hats off to you for a great build.

      Yes, it uses regular gauges, and the best part is that it can be tuned to BEADG or EADGC with same strings (and any tuning in between)

    Nice build, it looks gorgeous! And fantastic editing, as always. One question on your nut design, I haven't seen that yet: why that initial zero fret instead of setting the string height with the nut? Are you aiming for more sound consistency between open and fretted strings? And how did you achieve that the zero fret was higher than all the other frets?

      It depends on each project. If we have multiple pieces of the same model at once, we set up the clamps or the vacuum for quick exchange. For unique or pieces we mostly use the hot glue.

      Don't blame the bass, blame the player😅 This was the first time my bro played an ending for the video and with a such a small scale, the slightest bend changes the pitch, a pro would do a better job for sure but still I'm amazed what he managed to pull out of it.

    • @Tom-Lahaye
      @Tom-Lahaye Год назад +2

      I think that due to the shorter scale length this instrument is sensitive to accidental string bending, and looking closely it seems that just that is happening.
      Needs precise fingering to get the tone right.

Next house video is ready for editing and I plan to start next week, I would love to upload it two weeks from now, that would be the first time with such a small time spacing between videos after many years of me being on you-tube..

I commented about the lack of hand work simply because having seen many of your videos in the past, I know you have such skills. My comment was in no way meant to offend however if I did, I apologize. The fact that time is valuable, I fully understand and thank you for finding the time to make and post such videos. The quality of your products is second to none. PS. All the best for the new year. @@lignumchannel
