Top of the thread, I make a whole lot of reserved posts so that the pictures would all be together and not spread out.

Post 4 and 5 if that helps.

ingenious. Looks good so far. Good luck with that nut, I'm far too lazy for that.

The body shape has been changed.

It now looks like a love child of a Fodera, Skjold and a Nordstrand.

The picture however is to scale and as such cannot be scanned. I will try and organise some photos, but would rather you see the body shape as it progresses.

For a double bass, it looks just like a normal bass in those sketches?

Its not meant to be a true EUB, more of a normal fretless in upright form, like the Dean Pace Bass or the Barker Bass.

That's what I was wondering. It definately looks more like an upright electric than an electric upright.

Well Good and Bad news time.

Bad news is that I am going to have to re-do the neck core from scratch.

It is starting to split apart due to insufficient glue used, partly my fault partly somebody who I though had more knowledge about glueing's fault.

Good News, I still have plenty of timber and now know more about what I am doing.

Basically the new neck core is going to be slightly thinner than the previous monster I made. It is also going to have more laminates in it to add strength and I have ordered a trussrod from Stewmac, so that will go in there and the neck will be slightly thinner too.

Guess its just one of those things, but at least now I have had the experience and can learn from it.

HELLonWHEELS · 10-26-2006, 01:09 AM

What kind of truss rod are you going to use?

A dual action 1/8 one from stewmac.

I feel that way I can make the neck slightly less bulky, as the trussrod would allow me to adjust it.

Now all I am trying to find out is if I need to glue it in place. Been browsing talkbass.com but am still a bit unsure at this point.
