39.5" scale and it only is set up for a low F#? You would think you could get a low Eb out of it. I don't know anything about basses though...

That is pretty neat.

I would love to see some tension measurements from that bass. I hope knuckle can post them here.

Nice basses. Since I signed up for this forum I discovered a lot of instruments builders that I never even heard of before. Those are pretty expensive anyway.

Sick bass

Neat! I want one.

I'd absolutely love to try one of his basses.

And Cody I'm sure you could tune it to absolutely anything you want. It's got a significantly longer scale than Garry Goodman's Alders and JAQUO III-X's sub-contra basses and they tune to C#0 and lower.

I get the impression from that article that he's after clarity from his low B as much as extending the range lower. But he also posted somewhere here that he sent a bass to Dick from Meshuggah so that Dick could play F0 and octave below Meshuggah's 8 strings instead of in unison with them like he does currently.
