This week’s feature bass is a 5-string headless.<\/p>\n

Builder Jeff Ziebart writes:<\/p>\n

\n

This is a neck through 5-string I built featuring a 5 piece center section of padauk, eastern maple, and wenge between walnut veneers. <\/p>\n

The fingerboard is cocobolo bound with bloodwood and the 24 frets are medium Evo gold colored wire. <\/p>\n

The body wings are ash cores with western flamed maple front and back with black veneer layers for the pinstripe effect. <\/p>\n

The pickups and 2 band preamp are Bartolini<\/a>, the tuning system and bridge are custom pieces from ETS in Germany with 19mm spacing, the aluminum locking headpiece is hand machined by me and the knobs are ebony. <\/p>\n

The control cover is cut from the back layer of maple before it’s glued together so the grain is contiguous and it is held in place with neodymium magnets. <\/p>\n

The input jack is mounted to a Strat style jackplate on the side of the bass. <\/p>\n

The body design is my own with a long horn (in combination with no headstock weight) for perfect balance on a strap or while sitting. <\/p>\n

The wider 19mm bridge spacing allows me to pop more comfortably with my wide fingers. The neck is quite shallow with a slightly flat back which is my preference.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
