Owen Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I have an NS5 and a Yamaha Silent bass at the moment. The NS ticks more boxes for me but the skeletal frame on the Yamaha is superb. It really gives me the DB reference points which makes everything feel like home. I am going to shift the Yamaha but am wondering about such a frame on an NS. Clearly the Yamaha will not fit, but has anyone done or seen anything similar on an NS? I could buy this but it would mean a bit of woodwork on the NS which I could happily live without. https://www.ebay.com/p/Yamaha-Extension-Frame-for-Silent-Bass-Slb200-Repair-Parts-Accessories-F-s/1553426742?iid=282636055605 I know I am asking for the impossible, but I am just asking anyway That is what the internet is for, right?

TPJ Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Might be worth contacting a cabinet/furniture maker to see if they could make something similar with a better fixing mechanism. The tricky bit would be getting it mounted to the NS. Maybe they could make something with the frame that the NS fits into saving having to drill and holes. Do you play the NS on a stand?

Owen Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Thanks! A frame that the NS fits into. This is why I asked cos I knew someone would come up with a lateral solution! Edited September 29, 2017 by owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gabriel1918 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Owen, there's a couple of guys on Talkbass with DIY NXT bass endpin stands where they have modified the existing tripod bracket and added carved wood heels, frame sections etc. There's pictures on the NXT megathread.

Owen Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thanks, I will go and look. I got a carved heel thing from Bob Gollihur (all hail) which made a world of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Here is the post with pictures if anyone else wants a look. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/ns-design-nxt-megathread.584000/page-30#post-14196402 Is there anyone out there who could make such a thing? It is WAY beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
