Modified headstock and added wooden logo

 

Even with the image at full size, it is hard to make out the letters on your logo.  All I get is "guitars" - just about.

 

A larger logo would serve you well.  I understand the desire to show as much of that wonderful grain as you can but there must be a better balance between the two.

Yeah they are a bit small, I am going to try a custom branding iron which is on order. 

[Silky999]

This one will be put together in the next few days and then for sale on here. Some idea of the specs:

 

Sapele hand sanded Liberon Finishing oiled body

Wenge neck with custom poly finished headstock shape but back of neck just sanded, oiled and waxed, rolled fretboard edges, levelled, dressed and polished frets.

Hipshot Ultralite tuners

Gotoh bridge

Tone Emporium TE-18 pickups

Bloodstone Guitarworks solderless electronics with .47uF capacitor 

Handmade walnut control plate

Schaller Strap lock buttons

D’addario EXL165 .45 - .105 strings

 

 If this bass sounds like it might be for you, it will be selling for £600 so feel free to message me to ask more questions or reserve.

 

i will post more photos and hopefully some sound clips when I do the advert. 
 

Builds coming soon are a wenge drop top and elm body J bass with roasted flame maple neck with rosewood fretboard

 

 

A spalted English walnut drop top with sapele body which has not been built yet so could be a P, J or PJ if you want to commission that one (it’s not going to be a Flying V!) I would like to get the grain swirl in sapele in the middle of the back of the bass if I can so it runs the length of the rear. Walnut will be black grain filled and oiled to make it pop then either just waxed or satin/gloss nitro depending on customer preference if reserved. 


 

this is the walnut body that I am doing for Headless at the moment to give you an idea of what oiled and poly looks like.

i believe Headless wants a black pickguard if I remember rightly. 

[HeadlessBassist]

If there was any way around it, I'd prefer no Scratch Guard, however the control rout will be visible, so I guess there has to be one. To that end, I have a black pearloid one on order, which will match well with the rest of the black hardware and the black(ish) graphite neck.
