The feature bass this week concentrates on ergonomics to make for a great bass to play sitting or standing.<\/p>\n

Bass builder Steven Yanofsky writes:<\/p>\n

This is my first fretless build, the body is based on a previous build I made, with some modifications, the shape was design considering ergonomics, trying to make it more confortable to play it in standing and sitting positions, for example the upper horn is longer than other basses, to bring the neck closer to the player and as a result, more confort playing the lower notes. I wanted to give this one a modern look, with some classic shapes, and i always liked the combination of Wood with grey Stone, so i tried to mimic this, painting it grey, but enhacing the grain.<\/p>\n

The body is mahogany back with an ash top, which gives it a very nice even tone, and not as heavy as all ash body, the neck is 2 piece maple, one piece walnut with ebony veneer, carbon fiber inserts, double action truss rod, 6 bolts to maximize stabilty.<\/p>\n

I designed the fret guides, in a way that can be follow easily, but still letting see that the ebony fingerboard was born fretless. The pickups are Nordstrand Big Singles<\/a> with a passive 2 vol, one tone circuit, wich sounds great, but I designed the control cavity to allow an active circuit. Tuners are Gotoh<\/a> which I think are nice and reliable at a good price, bridge is Schaller also very nice. The pickup covers are made of one piece ash block, carved with a router. The finish is polyurethane with a light satin nitro coat. <\/p>\n

I hope you like this bass and let me know any comment, good or bad so i can improve my building skills.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
