Found my way here at long last! Been a bad bass "player" for around 40 years now: never put the time in really to get good, as I've been concentrating more on music production since the 1980's.... Still making music today and dabbling in bass ,too..! I've owned many basses over the years: Steinberger, Status, Cort, Hofner, Fender, Hohner and Rickenbacker, to name virtually all of them! 🙂 I can't help designing, modifying (improving!) things and building stuff: I've built a few instruments over the years, including 2 basses. The first was a real hybrid: imagine, if you will, a Ric 4003 body, in natural mahogany. Set into this a through-body solid laminated fibreglass neck with an ebony fingerboard. Oh..its fretless too.......and headless! It has a Lace pickup embedded in the body at the sweet spot....and it also has a Roland GK3B split pickup, for connection to my synths! The 2nd, which I completed last year, is a YF23 jet-fighter-shaped 3 string fretless, based on the neck from a Westone Spectrum LX. This has a custom 3 pole jazz pickup fitted: the body, as it stands, is a sheet of painted MDF...but the plan is to acquire a nice piece of hardwood and replicate the body using that to finish! So....Hi! 🙂
