Hello,
I'm trying to find preferably European supplier for a Richlite or similar synthetic bass fretboard blank. Tonetechluthierssupplies in UK is out of stock at the moment.
Does anybody know other suppliers?

Hieno basso taas kerran, Marko! That's another elegant fine sounding bass you've built. Do you have a buyer for it or did you build it for yourself? This one is for myself. At least as long as I deside to make another "this bass has everything I've always wanted". I've made quite a few of...

Here's my latest bass. Curved bubinga body Wenge/bubinga neck, dual action trussrod, dual CF bars between 11th and 24th fret Wenge fretboard, 34"scale, Warwick brass frets Hofner/Steinberger headless bridge and headpiece MPU custom quad coil ceramic humbuckers, vol/blend controls Oil/wax finish...

Thanks Mark. It's official, I'm stupid:)

I was trying to find bass plans from MIMF page but couldn't find any. Am I just plain stupid or have they dissappeared?

You make a neck out of wood first, then you take a mold of it, then you make the cf neck inside the mold. If you don't want it to be hollow, you fill it with anything you like. I'd say again that this is the only way to make a cf neck if you do not want to skin anything with cf. I have no clue abou...

I like wood also. I just can't get the weight and sound that cf allows with woods. I like to do things in a bit out of the usual way. I'm not into rosewood/maple necked alder bodied four string basses. There is enough makers for those already.

Thanks for your comments Markku. The pickup is made with neodymium blocks, 5mmx5mmx25. Three blocks are in the coil separated from the transformer core blade with 2mm acrylic pieces. Coil bobbins are from SP-Elektroniikka, magnets are from eBay.uk . Wire is 42AWG. The pickup is quite similar to Q-tu...

A few more. Moderators, please delete the pics on the first post.

Let's try again with the pics.

II don't know why the I can't see full pics. Help please!

Here's pics of my latest bass. -obeche/maple/carbon fiber composite body and neck. Neck has 1,5mm and body 1mm carbon fiber skin. -acrylic impregnated fretboard, 34"scale -ETS headless tuner/bridge, Hohner/steinberger headpiece -custom neodymium sidewinder pickup -acrylic base/colour, 2-part ac...

Very nice looking guitar. Not something that would be played by rock'n'roll guitar heroes on stage but still very nice. I like Trapezoidal neck profile on bass. I've made two of those and they work just fine. My latest however has round shape and the difference in feel between round and trapezoidal ...

Although it's a shape I wouldn't play myself it's a very well made one! Looks good.

I have made a few headless bridge/tuners and a few pickups with custom made covers as well.
