Im guessing you would carve the neck before glue up--but what do I know? @bangy There is a YouTube live stream that Mark did last year about this kind of construction. Check it out.

It may already be here not sure so my apologies if it is. Yesterday at the shop my cousin gave me 8/4 Piece of Black Walnut. Attachment : 650dvp-back.jpg Attachment : 650dvp-front.jpg ...

Is it critical that the plank stays centered perfectly at all times? I can mod the jig or buy a hinge, just wondering if its critical..... @bangy Oh and no, it’s not absolutely critical that it’s ban...

But don’t worry, you’re not alone! @boo likes that song too, maybe it’s a Lancashire thing? 🤷🏼‍♂️ @mattbeels I may or may not like that song but I couldn’t possi...

@marcel Now, if there is one thing you don't need at all on a fretless bass it's a trem. If there is one thing you don't need at all on a fretless bass with a trem, it's strings. 😆

@johnnierox-boo maybe it was just easier and more comfortable for him to play then. Yup - he wasn't the tallest bassist ever!

It reminds me of when I was on one of the courses I did at the Bailey workshop. There was a young man there who was making a fretless bass with a trem on it. Now, if there is one thing you don't need ...

I really can't see any any benefit of a 5-string short scale bass myself. It's different yes, but other than that?

Not sure he was much into string bending though ... @tv1010101 maybe it was just easier and more comfortable for him to play then.

This same question can be applied to multi scale guitars? I've got one of those ... but that's for another discussion, another day!! IIRC, Alan Lancaster - Quo's original bassist back in the early...

looser feel for the player and easier to bend @deej I thought it might be something to do with that, it’s string tension.

What's the benefit of having a short-scale bass? @tv1010101 I don’t really know but I had a thought. Could it be to do with alternative tunings? If the string is longer, it has to be under more tensi...

Two years ago i was asked by someone I knew So, not a friend this time?? 😉 Serious Question (I know, unusual). What's the benefit of having a short-scale bass? Apart from the headstock not being q...

The guy was very happy with the result, so happy he even payed me more for it than I had asked. @marcel Those are the kind of customers we like! Good job Marcel, that’s a nice neck.

Two years ago i was asked by someone I knew from a bass player's internet forum to make a neck for a 5 string short scale (30") bass. I don't know how he got the idea for that but I agreed to make it ...

Hi @bangy! Welcome to the community 😎

I can see Split from my Terrace, so yes we are close. It's one of my fava as well. I played the First Blues festival a while back. The stage looks towards Brac, surrounded by 3rd century Architecture....
