Lee-Man

Bruce at Bassworks has been great at keeping me updated. Once we settled on the specs he sent over a spec sheet for reference. The only other choice at this stage is the fingerboard wood. I’ve gone for the piece on the left. Its Macassar Ebony and its going to have pear wood lines.

If I could I'd also have that fretted blue one as well, its looks awesome IRL.

Thats the one I own now, its awesome (hence commissioning a new fretless build😁). Spent the day at Zephyr Studios in Leicester with it yesterday.

The fretless is a new build, but is the same colour as a pre existing fretted 5. The colour of the fretted one inspired my final decision for the fretless build

Hi all, a few weeks ago after trying out (and then buying!) the Bassworks Surf Green nitro PPJ5 I’ve ordered a new fretless partner to it in Daphne blue. Here’s a picture of a similar bass on the Bassworks Instagram. Current planned specs are: • Body American Red Alder • Neck Flat Sawn Canadian Rock Maple • Fingerboard Macassar Ebony • Pear wood fretlines • Nitro Daphne Blue • Luminlay side dots • Bartolini PJ pickups • John East UNI Pre, 3 Band EQ, 4 knob, 18V There's not only some great luthier skills in these builds, but also some really clever engineering and technology stuff. Bruce at Bassworks has been amazing keeping me in the loop with the build, so hopefully I’ll be able to keep this thread updated. Also, just to note since the bass was commissioned I’ve now become a Bassworks Artist. The pic below is the colour I've settled on.
