Fourth project, first bass.

Spalted maple front and back.
Mahogany core.
Maple/mahogany neck through.
Massara fretboard.
Handwound humbucker and precision pickups.

Started this bass 6 months ago, but due to ligament damage in finger I havent worked on it for months.
Still needs a bit of shaping and a whole lot of sanding

Looks nice. How about a little parts history.

Thanks.

Hardware consists of black schaller bridge, black schaller tuners, all black knobs and switches.
Controls will be Vol, master tone, blend, coil tap for humbucker, A/P switch, bass, treble.
It will have a preamp, but im still sorting that part.

It's looking really good. Very Ibanez Musician-esque.

Thats probably because I pretty much copied the shape from my 82 roadster....... 8)

I do love that shape.
