7-String Semi-Fretless Bass

Finally, a seven-string I can see the point of. This makes more sense than a double-neck. This guy has a lot of very entertaining videos and he's a hell of a player.

Unfortunately, this instrument was discontinued in 2019. Here are some pictures I had saved:

The Fret Slotting Jig is basically a very precise mitre box. What makes it a fret slotting tool is the Fret Guide, which attaches underneath the workpiece with double-sided tape, and engages a pin on the Fret Slotting Jig directly below the saw blade. The holes in the guide are spaced to Fender's formula, so depending on which hole you start with for the nut slot, you can cut anything from a 36" bass to a 20" ukelele, and all the standard scales in between. The guide fits snugly between the inner rails of the jig to keep the workpiece centered and straight.
