Αναλογα τι καθρεφτιζει.Υπαρχουν φορες που κοιτας τις χορδες και καθρεφτιζουν τα ταστα και νομιζεις οτι τσαλακωσαν

οκ αλλα να καθρεφτίζει ΑΚΡΙΒΩΣ στην μέση ένα μαυρο πράγμα, το οποίο να πάει και παράλληλα με το μήκος της χορδής και ακριβώς στην μέση είναι θεόκουφο. Δηλ θα ήθελε προσπαθεια...

δηλ αυτη γραμμή υπάρχει και στην γωνία που κάνει η χορδή



κοίτα και εδώ στο nut, το ίδιο πράμα, τι χορδή είναι αυτη ρε φούστ μ...

Αυτη ειναι μια χορδη.
Αυτα τα σιρματακια σαν τριχες που βαζετε εσεις στις κιθαρες,δεν ειναι χορδες 
Γιαυτο σε μπερδευει

Αυτη ειναι μια χορδη.
Αυτα τα σιρματακια σαν τριχες που βαζετε εσεις στις κιθαρες,δεν ειναι χορδες 
Γιαυτο σε μπερδευει

ορε 50 χρονων άνθρωπος και βλέπω καλύτερα απο σένα το τζόβενο (αλλά με 3 βαθμούς γυαλιά λολ)... 
Μήτσο κοίτα και τις 2 μπασες χορδές απο το κουρδιστίρι στην μιση της διαδρομής μέχρι το νατ, σαν να εμφανίζεται μια επιπλέον κολλητή χορδή σε αυτην...

για κοίτα καλύτερα...

Σε γελαει γιατι περναει κοντα απο το κουρδιστιρι και με την γωνια της φωτογραφιας φαινετε να παει στο κουρδιστιρι

[panixgr]

Σε γελαει γιατι περναει κοντα απο το κουρδιστιρι και με την γωνια της φωτογραφιας φαινετε να παει στο κουρδιστιρι

δεν με γελάει ειναι φανερό απο που αρχίζει αυτη η γκρί γραμμή να φαίνεται. Δεν πάει στο κουρδιστήρι, εμφανίζεται κανα 2 πόντους μετά. Το θέμα είναι, τι είναι αυτη η γκρί γραμμή που ακολουθεί παράλληλα την κυρίως χορδή? φαίνεται σαν κολητή χορδή. Αν ήταν καθρέπτισμα η οτιδήποτε τέτοιο θα χανόταν εκεί που η χορδή κάνει γωνία (saddle, nut), αρα καθαρά δεν είναι οφθαλμαπάτη.

Δες που ξεκινάει για την χοντρή την ΜΙ :
είναι στο ύψος ακριβως του 2ου αριστερού κλειδιού όπως μετράμε απο κάτω προς τα πάνω.
Και εκεί φαίνεται σαφώς να ξεκινάει ύλη-μάζα-πράγμα, και είναι χρώματος γκρί.

Σκια ειναι βρε

[panixgr]

στην αποπάνω φώτο έχει και σκιές πάνω στο φρετμπορντ, και είναι μαύρες, καμία σχεση.

[saved]

Γιατι,αυτος θα ξερει τι ειναι;κατι με το φως γινετε και φαινετε ετσι ρε

[panixgr]

σκιά ανοιχτό μπεζ πρώτη φορά βλέπω.

[saved]

Κοιτα.Για μενα που εχω συνηθισει να καθρεφτιζουν οι χορδες (γιατι ειναι χοντρες) δεν μου φαινετε περιεργο.Για σενα που εισαι κιθαριστας και οι μισες χορδες σου ειναι χωρις τιλθγμα,λογικο ειναι να σου φαινετε περιεργο.
Παντος να ξες κατι γινετε με το φως και φαινετε αυτο

[panixgr]

 τι να σ'πω... δεν έχω δει ποτέ τέτοιο πράμα .... σκιά δεν είναι, αφου στο ίδιο fretboard φαίνεται καθαρά πως μοιάζει μια σκιά...

Dupuis Guitars DG02by bestbassgear

So on to the specifics….This bass is built with a basswood core, back layer of bubinga and the top consists of a thin layer of black walnut topped with quilted maple.

The neck is multi laminated using flamed maple, black walnut and the center being a resawn piece of zebra wood flipped to create the “V” pattern so technically its 6 layers, and also includes carbon fiber reinforcement rods.

The fretboard is flatsawn Wenge with medium jumbo frets, mother of pearl dot inlays and a double action truss rod adjustable at the headstock end and also includes a real bone nut.

As far as hardware and electronics go, its currently strictly passive with Vol/Blend/Tone control with an Orange drop capacitor and USA pots, however I left plenty of room in the control cavity for the future addition of a pre-amp should whoever buys it want it added.

As you can see it has Aguilar DCB soapbar pups.

The bridge is a Hipshot Transtone which I really like, even compared to their other iconic models.

Tuners are Fender brand 1/2″ clover style open gear.

The neck on this bass is profiled very similar to a modern P-bass as far as nut width and neck thickness goes.

The bass is balanced very well and weighs in at 8.3 lbs so its a charm to play and sounds great.

Overall, I am pleased with how this bass turned out, however there are some minor flaws in the finish which I hope to perfect in future builds as my experience grows.

My goal is to eventually grow my passion into a small business building “personal” basses and guitars “built to order”, one at a time, but first need to sell this one to fund my next project, as you all know, this is an expensive hobby.

Just for fun, I placed one picture of the semi-hollow body that I built simultaneously.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and look at the work that I’ve been blessed to be able to do.

Episteme Instruments “The Objectivist”

About the Build:

This is a 5-string, 34″ scale, neck-through design with the neck composed of 10 laminates – Maple (3), Wenge (4), and Padauk (3). The neck has a dual action truss rod adjustable at the headstock.The fingerboard is made of Black Walnut stained with a Cabernet stain and has 27 frets at the G-string and a single Omega symbol to mark the 12th fret. The wings are a base of Maple, a layer of Wenge, and a thick veneer of Zebrawood, so the bass is all heavy tonewoods giving it great sustain.  The top wing has an extended horn and a relief cut away instead of an arm contour.  The instrument is finished in Danish Oil to highlight the Zebrawood and waxed.  I used a passive jazz-style pick-up configuration with a single volume control (tone is adjustable through an opening in the electronics cavity cover), a brass nut, and individual string saddles.
