Help with a project of mine.

[J_Alexander]

i have been collecting some stuff to start a project guitar. it will contain all ebmm parts and necks the only off's will be the bass pickups and the body. i need to buy a siilhouttte bass for the neck but dont know what the difference between the 6 string and tuned a to a is. i know this is the guitar part but this is where i always am so figured i would just post here. thanks

From what the kind folks at EB have told me, the 580 A-a and 590 E-e Silhouette basses are the same except for setups, and possibly the tuners. I don't know if there is a different compensated nut for each neck or not.

ok thanks pete. maybe i will give jon a e-mail and see what i need. i am making the double neck they made for evh as i have always wanted one. using all music man parts. i found a beat up axis for a good price that i can use for the guitar side just dont know to much aobut the bass side. its kind of a novelty thing just one of those wish items i have been trying to find parts for.

I've never heard of this EVH double-neck w/ bass, got any pics?


<---- foggy moment

 

[robelinda2]

he used it on 'Spanked' didnt he? for those low bits, is that the song?

 

[J_Alexander]

yep

 

[robelinda2]

cool! hope it goes well for you, it will kick ass!

 

[J_Alexander]

another interesting little note the bass side is a hollow body attached to a normal one. kinda kewl. if this is incorrect then evh lied and the tapping on the guitar lied.

Cool clip, and a cool project! I think that's the first time I've ever seen or heard of that guitar.

Good luck with your project - please post pics and details as it progresses!

 

[J_Alexander]

i will but its gonna be a long project. i out of respect for ebmm and for the guitars i love to play want to keep this as much ebmm parts as i can. that is gonna take some time. the body will be the hardest to do but everything else minus the bass pickups will be stock ebmm. right down to all toggle and volume pots.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

That is VERY cool!

That guitar was used on the RHRN DVD if you'd like to see him playing live. Not sure if the red one is an original or a copy.

 

[J_Alexander]

the red is also original. there were 2 made. only one person has ever made them and thats fella buy the name of scott smith and he also used all ebmm parts except body and bass pickups. he is also helping me with mine.
