Well, I've been lurking here for a while picking up tips for my first build so I thought I'd finally register and post where I am!
The bass is meant to be my dream bass, the kind i want but can't afford to buy. The spec is:
Through neck fretless - with a maple and wenge neck, and wenge fingerboard (Love the feel of maple, and the sound of wenge on fingerboards)
The body is made of Ash, because i love the warm sound it gives my Fender - and Zebrano because it looks beautiful and will hopefully add some snappyness to the overall tone.
My Brother bought me the electronics as a gift (He is a very talented electronics teacher) which are brilliant.
The bridge is a badass, which i've always loved and fits really well with the solid feel i'm going for.
All made from scratch - and still has a lot of work to do but feeling pretty pleased so far!
Anyway onto the pics
