Who can make me a Ramp?


Recommended Posts

I made my own and I'm no mechanic.[list]
[*]Found a bit of nice light pine wood the right thickness from an old posh wine box
[*]Measured the size I needed to go on bass.
[*]Sawed wood to size
[*]Bought sandpaper sheet and stick it to INSIDE of a dustbin to roughly approximate the fingerboard /strings curvature
[*]Rubbed block of wood against sandpaper until one surface convexly curved
[*]Attacked all part of ramp with finer bits of sandpaper
[*]Checked it fitted
[*]Finish with paint or oil to taste
[*]Attach with doublesided Sellotape
[/list]
Or get someone to make one, don't know who

would be much harder to work clear plastic as the OP requested.

I am guessing that the OP wants a completely transparent ramp which i think would be really difficult to produce as a DIY effort without it ending up looking like a dogs dinner.

Maybe check on ebay if there are people who can produce a custom mould for you as I believe to get a pro finish it would need to be injection moulded.

I could be completely wrong though, it's happened before! :ph34r:

If you're after a plastic/acrylic ramp you might want to contact Bertbass of this manor. He works with plastic and acrylic producing, amongst other things, acrylic illumination headstocks of your choice...

Ta for that. Will hit him up and see what he can do. Might have to settle for wood as they seem more readily available!
