The Extended Scale Bass Thread


Saved
 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi.
Since i am asked a few times about my 40" scale bass,i decide to open a thread for any bass biger than 35" scale.
Well,here is my.
The specs are
Neck:maple/wenge 5 pieces
Body:maple/ash combination
Top:ambura
Fretboard:wenge
Pickups:
Neck pickup:Dimarzio DP-145,series/parallel,in/out of phase,tone control with push/pull for Hi-cut filter
Midle pickup:,Dimarzio DP-127 straight to the output jack
Electronics:passive,stereo out.
Tuning:F#,B,E,A with Newtone-strings,custom set
Misc:Bolt-on,with the neck going under the neck pickup and reaching the midle pickup.
Double action truss-rod,2 carbon rods.



In the pics,i have not finished with the control cavity cover,and the to knob isn't there.It also is tuned G#,F#,B,E with kalium strings.AS you can see,the DIY look isn;t missing,and i like the way it looks,with not perfect shape and curves.

PS i have limited image upload.Couldnt upload more than this one pic.If a moderator will allow me to upload more and biger pics with the bass and the building progress,it would be greate

Do these qualify? The longest string is 36".


Both are DIY builds.

That singlecut is beautiful!

My old Dingwall had a 37" B (my current two only have 35" ones)
