| kokorollc | 01-14-2013 11:24 PM | Best Bass Ever!! What parts? I've got a huge collection of old bass parts. Basically, unfinished projects that never materialized. Was thinking, what would you combine to make the ideal bass? It may never compare with a designed instrument with everything working in harmony but it may bring many elements of historical (bass building) significance together to create a "dream team" instrument. What body, what neck, what pickups, what electronics, etc. I think I'd make a bass with a Pre Gib Tobias bass body, chambered out by Sadowsky, put a Lakland 54-94 neck on it, Ken Smith pickups with a Pope preamp from a Fodera. Yes, I realize the Lakland is a bolt on but I'd have Mike Tobias hand carve a 54-94 neck while working in his asymmetrical profile into a neckthrough body. Really, just imagine you're the Sultan on Brunei and you can order anything:-D |
