I had an absolute blast working with you on this build! Much appreciation for your experience, knowledge, and friendship, Del!

@AndyMinchew 3 жыл бұрын

Scotty what did you use for string spacing? In the video you said you used 34" scale.

@scottyonbass4003 3 жыл бұрын

We ended up with an actual scale length of 28" and the string spacing is standard CBG from Del's template. It's a little tight, but playable!

@howtoman8990 3 жыл бұрын

that bass is sweet. I was just doing a search to see if anyone had done a bass at all. Glad to see it can be done, and done very well.

Will this work on a fretless setup Scotty?

@scottyonbass4003 3 жыл бұрын

@@Jackman_NC Del has far greater expertise in lutherie than I do, but I'm pretty sure that a fretless CBB would be quite doable. I've seen some debate on where to put the position markers on a fretless; my preference is to have them exactly where the fret would be on a fretted fingerboard, rather than in-between. Of course, then there are the fretless guys who don't need markers! 😎

Alright my man that $hit looks GOOOD! But, having build CBG's for several years now, I have learned something. Solid carved is Bad a$$, but laminated, is stronger and stiffer. Trust me on this. I have CBG's that can hold a tune for over a year, and even then, Very minor tuning required (I think it's more string stretch than anything). Still straight as an arrow and over 6 years under string load. And I can make then "look" solid with a fret board. But VERY nice! Thanks.

This is some fantastic validation. I'm currently in the middle of my first CBG..I mean CBB build. I'm doing a 2 string as I have used a hockey stick for the neck that passes through the box and, yes, still has the blade attached. Been wondering which 2 strings would be best. Leaning towards A and D cuz I read the bassist from morphine ran the same setup. Any advice would be dope.
