Believe it or not, it was going to be more OTT than it is. The original spec included MIDI as well, but I since got Cubase and a MIDI keyboard so I really didn't need it. It has been a really cool experience working on the spec for this bass with Alan. I've thrown a lot of ideas his way and...

You could get a large 105 or even 130 nut file and roll-file a wider slot.

I don't think that there's any real rules for this. Personally, I would measure the string spacing on a bass you're comfortable with, then transfer that to the new instrument.

The neck and body are now joined. Cavities have been routed as well. This instrument is really looking very cool indeed. OK, it's a big instrument, but nothing looks too big or too small. Still a lot of work to go, but it's lookin' sharp !!

I can't see any reason why you shouldn't start on a 5 string if you want to. Just be aware that the instrument will be physically harder to play than a 4. The extra width of the neck and that fat B string may feel a little uncomfortable at first. If you can get the store to set-up the bass...

Thanks for the kind words! The fingerboard is acrylicised, a process which allows wood which is not usually suitable for fingerboards to be used. Without that, I wouldn't be able to have a spalted maple 'board as the wood is just too brittle. You could even use the acrylicised 'boards on a...

Yup. ESP make some nice instruments. Nothing wrong with that.

Thanks for the words of welcome I'm from London, but have lived up here for the past 7 years or so. I live about 3 miles or so from the city centre. I've posted some pics and info on my basses in the "show your bass" thread in the bass forum.

I'm new here, so I'd thought I'd better post my basses! My main bass is a Sei Offset Flamboyant 7 string. Sei HQ is in London and they make superb instruments Welcome to the Sei Bass Homepage This Conklin GT7 was my main (only!) 7 for a number of years. I had it de-fretted when I...
