Don't buy a wish just make one;
A 10 step program;

1.) On a big piece of paper, first close your eyes, (wishing you could see) draw your favorite design. good. I think thats why its called a wishbass.
2.) Now your almost done.
3.) with the exotic wood your about to (waste) use, get alot of glue, cut the boards & stuff, any old way will do and make laminates.
4.) shape it as fast as you can pretend your in a race, oops, oh wait...
5.) glue on the fretboard, oops oh well sometimes we dont use truss rods.
6.) Time to sand into shape, this is really fun...get the roughest sandpaper you can and shape like you're Bob Ross-remember its your world.
7.) 10 minutes to 6, hurry we gotta post this on ebay. use counter top remenants and make bridge.
8.) tuners, uhm...oh ya cut holes...route for pickups-cheapest are the best, wire it up no insulation needed its gonna make noise anyway cuz its not grounded properly ha ha...tick tick...uh oh...
9.) brush on the poly oh ya make a control plate just use that old scrap metal. pots,knobs
10.) brush on more poly, good enough, string it, tune it... ick... oh well call it vintage tone,
take picture post it & yer done. 400.00 all in a days work.


The preceding was based upon experiences like this. . . I no sooner got it out of the shipping box, brought it over to a stand, went to slide it down my hand into position, when a NAIL HEAD (which was being used as a fretboard dot) on the edge of the neck RIPPED OPEN the inside of my thumb~!!!!

But before I threw it onto ebay to get rid of it I made sure I plugged it into my amp. Sure enuf . . . the thing hissed, moaned and popped. Some might call it the proverbial mwah factor. NOT~! It was more of a cat whining in the night.
