Happy Jack Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I looked at those photos and thought, so what's missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also only one coat of varnish on it as yet. And it needs to be reliced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you right up to the point where you mention relicing. Still, I wish you many happy gigs with it and in, say, five years of use who'd know whether it was road worn or faked?

SpondonBassed Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hi Owen. Have you introduced your latest squeeze to the public in general yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hi! It is no further than it was in the Bass Bash at the moment. The 5 string set I bought (cos I need a B) turned out to be a 4 strings set and it has taken till now to get the proper set so it is all on hold at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confident that the reward for your patience will be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 This build is all kinds of beautiful! What was total build time? Looks like somewhere in the region of 4 1/2 months judging by the posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 That's awesome 😍 Is it small enough to play on your arm, like a folk fiddle-player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so peculiar as it might sound... I searched and I searched but I could not find the clip where a chap plays a full scale electric bass from the shoulder just like he's plucking on a fiddle. Dang! I can't remember where I saw the clip but it was about three years ago or more. If anyone knows the bassist that I am on about please send me a pointer?

Looks like somewhere in the region of 4 1/2 months judging by the posts? I have had it since the DB bass bash (waiting for strings and a preamp build) and it has just gone back to Toby. Actual build time has been eyewateringly fast as far as my experience of custom builds goes. It is essentially a prototype so there is a lot of backwards and forwards chat going on.

Thanks I've been wanting something to do that with for a while; real DB are just too big - my dad played DB; and the first thing he asked about any car he drove was "Can I fit the bass in it?". And he had a much bigger house than I'm ever going to have. I guess I could try a viola with an octave pedal, but I'm still hankering after something with a sensible fundamental note - partly because certain guitarists think anyone can play bass, and I don't want to give them ideas...
