Thread: electric violin

well done
the paint job was that an oil paint on water dunking ?
so hows it sound , lol , like every one asks me ,

any problems with twisting of the neck under the 40pounds string tension with the 1/2 rib wall design ?

have you tuned the bridge , ive got some "voice " images of some expecive violins if you want to have a go at tuning your bridge ( thinning under a sting will make it louder , and a can be done with the holes in the centre of the bridge , and foot distance ) a must with an electric only violin

nice work your first ?

thank you

yes. its actually quite simple. i did it with the so called "borax-method" you can get more information to this topic at theswirling.

just horrible
but it plays ok and it reacts almost like an acoustic instrument, so considering the fact that it is very silent (way more than an acoustic with a tonewolf) its perfect for practicing purposes.
on stage, on the other hand, for rock/pop stuff you might wanna add some chorus, reverb and other sound effects like that.
i wouldnt use it to perform classical music though
