Lesfunk Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 My new custom build is finally finished. it was designed after a Modulus Flea bass, except headless Graphite guitar systems neck Body carved from scratch Nova bridge system Lane Poor pickup Nordstrand 2 band a little heavy but I’m still very happy. 6 Quote
itu Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Where from and how did you get that neck? Dorsch is everything but easy to reach. Nova (Andre Passini) seems to be from Brazil and he has only FB pages, am I right? Quote
Lesfunk Posted April 9, 2019 Author Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) I simply called him (Jerry) on the phone.then followed up by email passini is in Brazil yes and very responsive on facebook Edited April 9, 2019 by Lesfunk Quote
HazBeen Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Very nice, congratulations. Jerry Dorsch makes really good graphite necks. For us in Europe they do get a bit pricey compared to Status Graphite, but then again you cannot order a headless neck from Rob & Dawn. I really like the design. Quote

They are the best in the business imo. i was disappointed to find out that they couldn’t fill my order but fortunately, Jerry was very accomodating and built a neck just for me. he was also expedient finishing in about a month Quote
Lesfunk Posted April 9, 2019 Author Posted April 9, 2019 Here are some pictures from the beginning of the project Quote
HazBeen Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Must admit this is giving me visions/ideas of a new build..... you can’t deny a headless just balances better than headed. Lovely pics! Really nice how you contoured the upper horn for upper register access and for your “body”, it just flows.... Edited April 9, 2019 by HazBeen 1 Quote
itu Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Absolutely fabulous! (The comment has no connection to any TV- or any other series.) Quote
songofthewind Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Lovely job, very cool. can you adjust string spacing on the bridge? Looks like it could use a bit of adjustment, to my untutored eye. Quote
ped Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Amazing work, what a result, you must be chuffed to bits. Love a graphite neck <3 1 Quote
bassfan Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Very nice. The lane poor pick ups are killer.. 👍🏻 Quote
TheGreek Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Not sure if he still has some but Kiwi had a number of graphite headless (I believe) for sale a while back.. Hopefully he can respond to this thread and let us know. Quote

Looks like it could use a bit of adjustment, to my untutored eye. The string spacing is fixed at 19mm. Andre (the designer of the bridge) told me that he could make me a new base plate if I was dissatisfied with the spacing. i think I will keep it as is. It’s very comfortable to me 1 Quote
