just finished off a back up bass for myself, might even gig it this weekend :)



Swamp ash body - maple neck - flamed sycamore fingerboard.

Bongo pickup (bought from someone on here about four years ago !).

John East U Retro preamp.

Could do with a black scratchplate to break up the maple though! :)[/quote]

I've no plan to add a scratchplate, but I might change the neck for one of a different colour when I get round to making it.

The top horn and the lower right section are exactly the same as Model 1, with the top left section hinting at a J Bass shape and the lower horn being modded to give a little more access to the top frets.

I'm going to stick to making the two bass shapes available for the time being, with a number of Telecaster-shaped guitars for those who prefer such things.

Basically giving people complete freedom to design anything they wanted just made life too complicated :rolleyes:

After recent mentions of fanned-fret basses, I've decided I might try it on a bass at some point to see what all the fuss is about :)


The new body is going to be painted and will probably have the neck from the bass at the top fitted to it - I'm making the new neck for that at the moment.

That is a bass of beauty.
