I built this bass with two things in mind, a small budget and a need for good tone... I think I was able to pull those off, keeping my cost under 300 bucks... Its got an 18v preamp in it and a built in distortion circut with a selector... ranging from full blown distortion to mild tube-like overdrive...that takes a seperate 9v too.. lol... the pickup is
GFS ceramic MM replacement... body wood is cherry finished with tung oil... with a bolt-on maple/maple neck. I'll try to get some audio samples on here soon... I'm pleased overall with the sound... firm, articulate, and dark... kind of a cross between a thunderbird, a p-bass, and a ric... not bad considering I built it with a coping saw, power drill, dremel tool, and a borrowed router... in my living room.
Did you buy the neck or made it yourself? Any build pictures?
