Duff Beer Man Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 did u put clear coat on the fretboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Yeah, that's why it shines so, most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyd Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 (edited) yeah its house of kolor urethane, its tough as nails, it would prob be alright with roundwounds but im going to use nylon wrapped flats help keep from marring it up, even if it does theres enough on there to buff it back out when needed, the clear itself is supposed to be just under powder coat for durability Edited October 8, 2005 by scottyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden69 Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Duff, it's a fretless bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Beer Man Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Well i thought that, but from the pics to me it looked like there where slots in it... hmmmm maybe just lines or my eyes or something i have no idea, sorry for the stupid question. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 It's lines, so he has some sort of idea where to put his fingers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarfrenzy Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I've seen a bass fingerboard done like this before, but if I remember correctly it was done with epoxy. Let me just say that your bass looks great man, congrats. I really like that fingerboard look. How does it work for you soundwise though?

Let me just say that your bass looks great man, congrats. I really like that fingerboard look. How does it work for you soundwise though? ← it sounds a lot smoother IMHO, i recorded a sound clip of it before and after and you can really tell the difference the notes ring out cleaner, ive seen boards done with epoxy too but i believe this is just as good.

Guitarfrenzy Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Sound clips.. did you say sound clips.. then bring them on bro.. haha.. Let's hear this bad boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassisgreat Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 +1 on the sound clips! That finish really took this bass to a new level! Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyd Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 (edited) heres some "glamour" shots the bass still isnt done i still have to mount the pickups permanently. i guess emg doesnt include the sponge stuff thats supposed to give there pickups adjustability, so i have to find some of that stuff, or something thatll work, i have to do that and a little odd and end stuff (like the buffing compound still in the recess' for the knobs) before its 100% done. plus i got it strung up with roundwounds now, which i really dont want to leave on there too long im going to try and get some good sound clips up soon too..

scottyd Posted October 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 ok sound clips here http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?songs=335347&t=2345 very poorly played but should give an idea of the sound of the bass....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyd Posted October 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 (edited) oh yeah no effects just the bass through the interface into adobe audition, the bass doesnt need much if any compression to get a great slap tone, thanks to the coated fingerboard.
