plan B is Hipshot.. they are also 3 months turnaround, or custom made (e.g. one guy in Philipphines I mentioned in another post a while ago) - he's also out of stock, back in october

you can contact them here: [email protected] they reply usually quick (within 24 hrs) problem is they have 6 months production time and they have no stock available for headless bridge tuners..

Added 3D printed Ramp 🤠

Definitely not easy.. And not cheap!

Sorry, been out for the full week! here's some picture Test of the final shape on a cheap wood board Start of the mahogany back back shape almost finished, with 1.2cm left in the central part where the neck goes through time to start the neck and here's the assembled neck + eboard + back graphite bars + truss rod neck joint.. in progress 😂😂😂😂 flamed top completed neck joint completed (by hand.....😭) custom neck head ebony ramp her's the first color next to a real fodera 35 scale (white was the original color I didn't really like.. so decided to redo all the paint) hope it helps!!

well, I do have all the pictures of all the various phases of the building... do you want me to post here the story?

I have this email address: [email protected] Please note when dealing with this guy we had a super slow communication... sending 1 message on FB Messenger.. reply after 2 days... reply back in 1hour, following reply after 3 days etc... took me approx 20 days to finalize the purchase 🤣

that’s the difficult part of the story when building an Headless bass.. so difficult to find the right hardware with the right price this one comes from Indonesia, with super nice building quality also of the saddles. started with WSC bridges bought from public peace in Germany but were 11mm too long for my scale.. name is Aldridge Emperindo, you find him on Facebook

Hi guys just wanted to share something I’ve been working over the last 10 months This is my first custom built bass, started from zero, by drawing the bass in 3D (after tutorials on YouTube😂), then decided scale length, woods, hardware and electronics I have my own foderas so I based my draft on a similar shape of the Emperor, the result is a Hybrid monarch/emperor, with right shape to be easily played when sitting on a chair, headless with tuning bridge details 30,75 scale 5 strings B-G zero radius fretboard with SS Evo Gold frets ebony board mahogany back neck through hard Italian flamed maple graphite bars in the neck Flamed maple top nordstrand big singles + Mike pope preamp painted by hand with oil, 10+ layers here’s how it started And here’s the result

I also did myself a f2f exchange with Bank transfer. My recommendation is to ask ALWAYS for an immediate transfer, do not trust anything else. So either Revolut, PayPal or Instant Bank Transfer. Then check your account and check that you have the money, then give them the bass. So sorry for what it happened 🤧

It was a pleasure to deal with Chris. Easy communication and great guy. We traded internationally 2 high end basses, deal with confidence!
