    I don’t think the wenge fretboard will survive Bending like Beckham

    And we are in....

    We have a slotted fretboard...... now to get the wenge one off, and make 21 (or maybe 22) maple fretlines...... going to take me ages, but worth the effort I think.

    Slow as $&7)$, but we glued some Mahogany and cut a rough body shape! Also did a “design” ..... just having some fun really. Fun bass, so it needs a quirky design. As most that will have followed builds I do know, the process tends to dictate the outcome so I never make CAD drawings or such.

    Good point, it certainly requires less space. And the tech is amazing in any case. Very cool.

    Great tool, but I have to note that you can buy a pretty decent CNC table for that type of money.

    An update needed on this one. It has been a joy to play over the last month or two, but I have come to a few realisations and decisions. 1. Untreated Wenge as a fretless board is not something I would consider doing again. It is too soft given the marks even my Cobalt Flats have left. 2. The neck is almost perfect, but I’d like it to be a little slimmer 3. I am very used to lined fretless, to a point that I wish I had stuck with my original plan and had gone for a lined neck So what to do? Well.... next week I am going to redo/mod my neck and end up with a lined fretless, Gabon ebony fretboard, slightly slimmer neck. Shouldn’t take me too long, so watch this space...

    Time flies even when you are not tinkering with wooden bits So developments..... built my son a Blue Cajon, so no more bass wanted by the youngest. So what now? Well, I am going to build a 27” scale for me instead Passive 4, 2 Bart Jazz pups from early 90’s. Mahogany body, Maple Wenge neck, 24 fret Wenge fretboard. The rest I will decide on in due course, but as I am off next week I might actually start

    Why not treat yourself to a full MIDI pedalboard? Due to moving to a different solution I have an MC6 midi controller (in good condition) and the midi switchable 5 loop ML5 (for all your non MIDI capable effects, in very good condition) for sale.

Switch on/off several midi and non-midi pedals at the same time. Price includes shipping, I am not looking for any trades on this as I have already "spent" the money although I would be open to trade against an Ableton Push 2 or an Akai MPC/APC.

    Lovely!

    And did not and still does not sound like a fretless 🤪
  12. HazBeen
    The website shows the concept, wooden saddles, where the string runs over de full length of the saddle to get a fretless-ish tone.
  13. HazBeen
    Fretless sound needs a fretless fretboard, this and the Neuser fretless bridge give a fretless vibe, not a fretless tone imo.

    http://www.mike-sabre.com/DDPFretlessBridge/ddpfretlessbridge.html Mike Sabre designed the bridge and sell them. Some pics/clarification above.

    Wonderful kit bass!

    @Andyjr1515 no steam used, right? I always steer away from steam for fear of bending, but I know people who call me a fool for just using heat.

    Black Crown Iniciate - one of the highlights of 2020 for me.
  18. HazBeen
    That would scare the sh!t out of me...... are you heating the glue or planing off the fretboard?
  19. HazBeen
    My new place for inserts. Like them a lot https://nectite.de/shop/ Lovely job btw!

    Hi mate, I’ve marked the post as Sold for you. We generally do not delete postings, so marking as Sold hopefully is fine.
  21. HazBeen
    Wow, bargain!
  22. HazBeen
    Great heads, just super reliable, powerful, great sounding and still relatively light.
  23. HazBeen
    Nice work so far, the wenge is really lovely and it will surely have an aggressive bark when complete.
  24. HazBeen
    I love that bridge design too, such a simple but smart solution.
  25. HazBeen
    Wow, that is a nice (and heavy) piece of 12 string.
