O' Bass

thingiverse

This is a more finished/completed version of the WIP Electric Bass made by Epiccraftful aptly named the O'Bass! I used the same files, but added the end pin and end cap scaled up. I used a 3/5" threaded rod and the pieces threaded on nicely. I used Thomastik Infeld Spirocore strings and they sound good. When tightened, the strings are loud enough, but don't plan on doing any shows. The next step to fix from the original design is the amplification. I'm going to attach a magnetic pickup and amp here soon, I'll update when i do so. 5% infill was too little for the top piece that holds the nut, it collapsed into itself and snapped. I reprinted it with 15% infill and 5 walls and now its holding steady.I'll update with caps for the hardware spots, I couldn't find hardware in the weird sizes scaled up, m7 x 70 or something. I superglued the sections that were split in half and threaded everything on. It holds steady and well. I may add a chest rest using the mount that the original author made a chest rest for, just shape changed for a double bass. It doesn't need it to play well.Parts:3/5" 6' threaded rod, 6' is too much, but allows for cutting down to a good nub for the end pin attachment5/8" 3' solid rod, good for end pin, the end pin cap included is a tad to big, but it can be scaled down to fit.end pin hardwarem6 - 40, 2 round head boltsm6 - 1, 2 nutsm6 - 1, 2 washersm6 - 1, 2 acorn nuts, not required but looks niceI got all these in black, the washers and nuts weren't carried in black, so I grabbed black chrome.Everything was scaled by a factor of 156.7898, that'll get you accurate to the 0.001 mm.
