G'day

I'm originally a clarinetist and long time tuba and keyboard player.

After wanting to play electric bass for the last thirty years I finally got around to doing something about it a year ago.

I play 5 string in Church, so I'm interested in low notes.
My current bass rig is either an ancient Peavey KB300 (weighs 80lbs), or a BFM SLA pro stacked on top of a BFM tuba 30 slim with accompanying rack full of amps, mixer, drive rack etc.

I'm very interested in something small and light which can go low and needs nothing else beyond an amp head.

At the moment the fEarful 12/6 is looking pretty good.

Regards

Gerard

G'day and welcome to the forum.

Just remember that in your hemisphere you need to turn the plans upside down and call it a 6/12.

Thanks.
This is true. We also have to pay twice as much for components.

G'day Gerard, from a former Victorian (left Ballarat nearly 3 years ago, now in the 'Gong). Your 12/6 will sound pretty good, too! Where in Melbourne are you?

Hi.
Just posting so that I don't get deleted for being inactive.
I've got the parts for a fEarful 12/6, I just need to find the.time to make the thing.
Is there anyone else in Melbourne with a 12/6?
Regards
Gerard

I believe there are a few, & one I know of in Geelong. Enjoy the build - I know you will the finished product!
