    new bass project: need some advice

    What's after I receive parts from Warmoth?

    I did the majority of the assembly of mine myself, right up to the electronics. Even using this forum as a source of tips, she still has battle scars from getting a badly stripped screw out of the headstock and a screwdriver slip in the bridge pickup pocket. It was a learning experience, and...

    new bass project: need some advice

    Well my Bloodwood/Wenge With Swamp Ash(I'm assuming that's the Ash you're looking for) Z I feel has a nice warm tight low end and can cut through a loud drummer and guitarist (I've even tested this with my old ashdown combo amp which is now replaced) without being overbearing unless I really...

    Wood for a bass, Mahogany or Swamp Ash?

    Hot damn, that's a record necro-threading ;) In the end I built my 5 string Z bass with a swamp ash body and it's a nice balanced instrument that doesn't strain me standing up down at the body in my opinion. and my Mahogany Epi T-Bird got sold due to not using, partially cause of the weight...

    Gecko5 VS. G5

    I can't say I've tried a 35" 5 string, but my Z 5 Bass with 34" scale (I'm assuming it is if the g5 is also) the b string certainly doesn't feel sloppy or anything personally :)

    Stingray-style Z bass

    Body looks amazing so far, Love the Z bass body shape. I always contemplated doing a stingray Z, Hope you can put up sound clips/video when it's finally done, see how it compares to a MM.

    Post what you're listening to!

    Having decided to improve playing with some songs I can easier manage instead of frustration at harder songs for the moment. Raconteurs - Steady as she goes. Nickelback - How you Remind me. Police - Message in a bottle (Just the speed on some parts needs attention) Yes I'm braced for sh*t to...

    Unlined fretless Gecko - are the gecko fret markers easy to use as a guide?

    Nope far as I know all(or most at least) have the side dots moved to the position of where their fret would be, 1st side dot to where the 1st fret would be on a  fretted etc. most still do the 1?,3,5,7,9,12,15,17  etc however, so still not the whole lot of frets are marked out, so still alot to...
