Jabba_the_gut Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) I've been accumulating bits and pieces over the past couple of years and I'm getting to a point where an idea is emerging... This build will be a bit later in the years as I've got a couple of others to do first but the plan is for the following: 5 string Headless Delano xtender pickups East/ACG EQ02 filter preamp Series/parallel switching on pickups Poplar burl top Maple or swamp ash body (tbd) Ebony fretboard Neck (tbd) To be continued.....

wrinkleygit Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I can feel the excitement brewing, are you going for E-C or B-G, never played a low B less than 34” and often wondered if a shorter scale would work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba_the_gut Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 The plan for this one is to be B-G (can always change that later). The low B should be okay for this and it has been done by others before. I'll let you know how it goes with this particular one!! I am building a 27" 5 string as well but the plan for that is to go E-C. I do have a low B for it and will try that when it's built out of interest.

Woodinblack Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Love poplar burl, in fact a 30" poplar burl headless sounds pretty perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Poplar burl looks great on those Mensinger Cazpar basses. Looking forward to this one in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately there has been a lot of non- bass related things going on so I just haven’t had much chance for building over the past 18 months. Hopefully next year….
