dougal Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) All this talk of frets all the way to the bridge makes me think we're designing a peanut: For what it's worth (not much) I'd vote for 4.5 strings like Earbrass. And some people may say we're not taking this seriously! Edited February 28, 2013 by dougal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom in Dorset Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 4.5 strings: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom in Dorset Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 So unless anyone has any major objections : 24 fret through neck , maple /maple and perhaps a wenge skunk stripe? Any thoughts on body shape? We'll talk finish later. I'm very boring and find the Precision body most comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aende Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I would like some kind of beer glass holder.....perhaps some that is gyroscopic and stabilized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Something with this type of forearm contour and with a the wood behind the bridge cutout (like a headless) but with a headstock still Doods is the only headless that immediately springs to mind: but I generally prefer the "pointer shapes" so I'll go for the Shuker Uberhorn or Horn shape personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 [quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1361993530' post='1994231'] How about an actual sandwich at the end? [/quote] Ok, so what kind of sandwich? My vote goes for the most rock and roll sandwich ever, the deep-fried peanut butter and cheese as designed by Elvis.

Fat Rich Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I like the way Jens Ritter puts the screws to adjust the height of the pickups in from the back of the bass, also a Strat style socket at the back too. Let's try and keep the front of the bass as free from screws and junk as possible. Edit: Apart from the sandwich, obviously.

JamesBass Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yeah 24, maple/maple sounds good, maybe have a rosewood option though? Shape wise Something interesting and comfortable, somewhere between a P bass and a Rickenbacker 4003, predictable and simple but they are lovely comfortable shapes!
