Owen Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) A thing of beauty is a joy forever. The non aesthetically pleasing string arrangement is because I do not have the required B. The string runs over the headstock are due to the non-pliancy of the plastic-coated strings, not because Jez cannot plot his machine head paths correctly.

Nebadon2000 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I am not a fan of blob pressed against the fretboard up to 10th fret[ seen many others like it ] but overall it's not so bad aesthetically even with the hole in the headstock; nice looking fretboard and unoffensive color🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 Ignore the wobbly nature of the LEDs in the picture. Taking pictures in the dark was never one of my strong points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a better idea of the size next to this Markbass 801: There's a build diary on here for reference https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/440731-27-short-scale-5-string/ Edited May 24, 2023 by Jabba_the_gut 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I like it, reminds me of the old Prosebass/Funnbass we used to see on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever want to trade this for a kidney or liver let me know. Lots of students locally...I'm sure that I can bop one of them on the head.

Owen Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 My title is misleading really, I actually bought two of Jez's basses. I am away at the moment but will get a pic up when I get home. It makes this one look big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
