Other than the fact that it's not too straightened out because I did this by hand and lack drawing skills, what do you think? If I can find a luthier that catches my interest (I.E. isn't very expensive), I'd definitely try getting it build. Until then, I've at least got a picture. It's supposed to be a six string, by the way. The headstock I just threw on there at the end of the neck, although I think it looks good.

Comments? Advice?

Is the body shape from somewhere? I sort of got inspired by a bass made by a company called Kraken I saw on eBay, and ended up with that design after drawing it a couple of times. As for pick ups, I'd love to get these Barts that I found on a Washburn XB926 at my local Guitar Center. I thought they sounded great, and I like the look.

As much as I'd like a solid finish, a natural wood would probably look better. but I don't really care. Maybe a zebra top or something.
