BEADGCFBfEf. Just had the frets filed (along with a custom Excel 5 of mine) by Phil D'Angelo of Fairlawn NJ. Got some stretching to do!

That should be fun. edwardofhuncote Advanced Member Username: edwardofhuncote Post Number: 227 Registered: 2-2015 Posted on Sunday, February 15, 2015 - 3:48 pm:    I don't know what to say, but I can't just say nothing... hmmm. My granddaddy used to say "whut th' dum-goozle izzat?!" (it's an old North Carolina <ahem> thang) I've worked on, and built musical instruments for almost 30 years now, and people's imagination on display still amazes me. Wow, what an undertaking that must have been! And quite a result! dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 1556 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Monday, February 16, 2015 - 1:41 am:    35" scale. It sounds very full in tone. Neck is pretty thin and not too difficult to get around on. It need fret work and a set up. The make is Tanatos. They make 7 strings mostly and extra fret guitars. This one is a bolt on but the others are neck thru. http://kf-works.co.jp/products/instruments/en/bass.html terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 2311 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Monday, February 16, 2015 - 3:56 am:    too many strings LOL!!

This happened when I had a custom in the works and had a major GAS attack. I convinced myself that I should have an Alembic geetar in my stable to go with the basses. It is a fine instrument and the neck is extremely comfortable . This is a super strat with a Moses graphite wizard neck and Alembic pups and guts.

I recently put together an old Modulus neck, custom Warmoth body, and Alembic strat set with added Q. I have to say I love the Modulus neck and am thinking about another graphite neck build. The Moses fiber-optic option looks very cool.

Very thin and very comfortable. I should have gone for the optics option. Maybe in the future for another GAS attack. I have 2 Status Mark King basses and I love them.
