Kinal Owners Club--Custom to be built

[DaveAceofBass]

I'm telling you I think one of these in a 32 inch scale in a fretless with another magnetic pick up an addition to the piezo would be killer!

 

[DaveAceofBass]

Do Mike redesign the upper horn for you? They are usually turned upward in the Kompact pics I've seen before...yours looks more traditional.

I think it looks a little more like the 6 string that's posted all over you tube. I didn't ask for anything particular with the upper horn.

The fingerboard is being glued up

And the headstock veneer is being glued up

Mike is a great builder!

Is that an ebony fingerboard?

 

[peterpalmieri]

Yes. Ebony.

Not much longer!!!

Cool stuff! Glad to see more Kompacts. Especially ones with more than 4 strings (I'm the one with the 6-string on YouTube BTW ). Would be very curious to see how a longer scale version might come out too, if you end up going for that.

 

[peterpalmieri]

Thanks lokire. I likely wouldn't have ordered the bass without your videos. Can't wait to get my hands on this bass. Very soon just got an update

 

[peterpalmieri]

She is done! Wish her luck on the long journey from Vancouver to NY.

 

[DaveAceofBass]

Gorgeous!!!!

 

[peterpalmieri]

My Kompact high 5 shipped out from Vancouver today. Hope to see her in NY early next week!

Your bass looks super cool. I can't wait to see what you think.

 

[StevieMac]

Super cool, congrats. I live just a few blocks from the shop but have never been there.

 

[DaveAceofBass]

I love my Kinal basses!!! I think you're gonna love yours!

What's the bridge spacing on the Compact 5/6's?
