Wall Mounting a Bass as Art

21

Last post on this topic, I swear.

I ordered the Warmoth neck. Expensive little f*cker, but I figured… I click with this bass more than any other bass I’ve ever owned. I want to play it all the time, but it bugs me so hard that the neck is twisted; it’s like a wedgie I can’t pull out. I want this to be my #1 bass, why shouldn’t it have a straight neck? I mean… I bought this thing TWICE. I’ve already spent WAY more than it’s worth just to have it. It shouldn’t be the Bent-Neck Lady of basses.

So, once it gets here, I’ll need to have the pocket width routed out by about 1/4". I might be able to do that with sandpaper, but I don’t trust myself enough. So I’ll probably take it to someone to get it done.

…

And then I can hang the old neck on the wall as art! :smiley:

Congrats! The heart wants what the heart wants, and you love that bass. Take care of your baby and your baby will take care of you.

Here’s to finding a competent luthier/tech you can rely on. :beers:

Have a great Fourth! :fireworks:

Hi! I’ve got my Birdsong custom bass and a Martin guitar mounted on my pine-boarded walls. Etsy—“Rod Birch Guitar Stands”. Handmade from Canada. Absolutely beautiful mounts to accommodate any shaped neck. Incredibly quality, strength and appearance in a variety of woods. I like them so much I have two more on the way. One to accommodate my new Birdsong super short scale bass by Scott Beckwith coming within the next six months. I highly recommend him as well to anyone interested in a short scale or super short scale bass. Outstanding bass and business.
