Scratch bass build- "The Folly"

[Bass Guy]

Assumptions are dangerous... 😉

The tuning machines I'm looking at are essentially lefties and mini-clover leafs, so it should be streamlined to the eye and operate in the "correct" orientation.

In no way are the positions finalised- this was purely to get an idea in physical form. I won't be going anywhere near shaping the headstock until the nut arrives so I can align the placement of the tuners with the actual nut spacing.

Lots of things to do before these bits of carvery- cutting the channel for truss rod for one. Ordering the truss rod for another...

ALS stock some well priced two way adjustment rods, he says having bought one specifically to shorten drastically for a baritone neck. (My wasn’t that a fun exercise!)
