[quote name='The Burpster' post='300746' date='Oct 6 2008, 07:24 PM']It puts (a lot) less strain on the nut and provides a constant break angle which we all know provides less string intonation/ tuning / breakdown problems....

Thats why so many designers go to quiite a bit of trouble to get the strings lined up without infringing someone elses headstock shape and hence patent.....

Stringing like that method above is asking (no begging) to break a nut.....


Be my guest try it......[/quote]

I'll take your word for it :)

Phewwww thanks, the thought af a busted nut was weighing heavily on my mind..... :huh:

Actually pit a brass nut on and you can kinda do what you like with the strings, however breaking them away at odd angles will wear assymetric slots in the nut and make the above problems prevalent......

As an aside if you bend your notes a lot you will do untold damage to the nut with a lateral break angle, and a plastic/ carbon /bone nut.

It's all hypothetical. This bass isn't designed to be played!

Looking at the shadow on the backdrop, I can't help thinking that you've taken a section of doctorofthebass's fence along with you to add some bassy character.

[quote name='Lysdexia' post='294867' date='Sep 29 2008, 08:31 PM']I had the pleasure to be hired to shoot a collection of vintge, rare and classic guitars and basses. Here's a PRS that I really, really wish was mine. It plays even better than it looks.









If any of you ever want your cherished basses photographed - gimme a shout :)[/quote]
As Frank Macca would say, 'Where's the burd?'
