Warwick woods inspired Beardly 6 string fretless.
 

I have always been a fan of Warwick and have always wanted one of their high end basses. However, i do not have a few grand laying around for one. So I am building my own 6 string. Body is bubinga, neck is wenge and purpleheart.

Looking nice Purpleheart is a beautiful wood.

Best of luck. Subscribed.

Oh man, that purple heart with the dark woods is excellent. Subscribing now!
