Hot Wire Bass A new video on converting a 3 string Bass back into a 4 string would be great but what if we could combine it w/ converting that into a Fretless 4 string Bass?
Very cool. But why is it XXL? Is there just a regular XL (aren't most extended basses 89 cm? One extra cm, I suppose is more extended)? Is there an XXXL (for instance Dingwall at 94 cm or Kalium at 104 cm?)? Is the space between string greater than a standard specification 4 string bass?
XXL is 900 millimeters. We can make it longer on request, have done an experimental 94 cm which sounded great, but you need big hands to play it. the neck is normal 4 string width, so the string spacing is a bit wider. but that can also be made to order. we are open to suggestions.

@@hotwirebass5078 Hey, sounds like he wants to re-convert those 2 Basses back into 4 String Basses someday. I tune my 5 String Bass down a half step so that it's easier for me to sing the high notes w/o straining my voice.
I play 3 string too! It makes play more vertical 😊
Righty-right!
I love this tuning.
same here bro. 😀

we could discuss this in private.
@@hotwirebass5078 That would be killer
Amazing round tone. Very nice review 🙂
Thank you bro, we do our best!! 😀😀😀
I love it!
Yeah man!!
In case someone needs you to play the Shamisen parts.
What a beauty! ;-)
Very!

Price?
around three Grand, depending on the features you require. plus flightcase cause it won´t fit in any gigbag.
