RIM Basses Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi Guys, This is the first pictures of the RIM Hollowman, its a upright type of tapping stick come fretless Bass, Myself and mate Craige designed and made this at our work. Its made from Mild steel 60x30 box section and has a high gloss finish. The specs for the Hollowman are, Mild steel Box 60x30 High gloss finish Bubinga body wings Sperzel tuners Kent Armstrong Humbucker Passive Vol, Tone. Ali Custom Bridge Its a very simple design and it really sounds great, its got the hollow sound and sustains nicely. We are thinking about offering these for sale and we would be looking for around £ 550. I will use EMG Pickups in the next version, so if you want a simple 4,5 string upright then get in touch. We are aslo going to design a stand for the Hollowman using a cymbal Stand. Soundclips will come very soon, Craige loving the Hollowman! Cheers, Robbie.

velvetkevorkian Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) Looks neat, what's the scale length? Could you make it more like a double bass and less like a mutant fretless?

Beer of the Bass Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 This is slightly OT for a bass forum, but I reckon you could make a killer lap-steel guitar using that concept! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
