Jim Bress Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 That is a sexy beast! Fantastic! Can you tell us about the neck construction. I see the black line running down the middle which makes me think a two piece neck, or maybe three if the line is a thin layer of another material. Unless a line is just a line. Thanks, Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jan Malina Posted August 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Thanks. The neck is really made of two (three) pieces. The line is a piece of blacked maple. There are some reasons ... I can carve pegbox before gluing, it is easier than classical method. And ... I can simply use a standard 50 mm maple plank. And .. I can cut two ribs from the peaces before cutting and gluing the neck. When I am cutting the scroll I can see exact centre of material. The neck is probably more durable on twist deformation. Sometimes I put into the neck a prism of massaranduba wood. Kind of reinforsment. It works and neck can be thiner. I am from Bohemia and some Bohemian basses from Luby u Chebu (Schonbach) from 1960 - 70 have necks glued from 5 pieces. The centre of that neck look as a purfling. One czech luthier advice me this solution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jan Malina Posted August 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 yes, it is true. The material is cheap. But now I do not have the sure if I would to sell some more expensive instrument. So I use cheap material and to practise the craft. I am curently working on the sound my basses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
