Never before have been able to have a Bass built to my specs, but it is almost done. Anyone care to take a stab at who the builder is? Hint: West Coast

Don't know enough about to hazard a guess on its maker, but two questions come to mind:
1. What particular specs did you want to have that you weren't available in a prod. bass?
2. How much-ball park.

Yes, good question. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Annapolis, MD | | | Well, the first and foremost reason I had this built is due to the fact that it is a 32" scale Bass. I had been considering a Stu Hamm original Fender, so this was an alternative to that. As you know 32" scale basses leave your choices few and far between.
Some of specs....Ash Body, Maple fretboard, Soapbar Dual Coil Pups, Gotoh tuners w/gold hardware , Hipshot string through bridge,BQS EQ.
The color is the equivalent of Fender Chrome Red, it has a silver undercoat with lots of clear on top. I chose the color scheme and pick guard.
Think Fender on Steroids ! and at 1400.00 I think its moderately priced. More pics as I get 'em

Pretty bass, I like the Strat look.
