Poplar should sound pretty resonate at a 30" scale.
Great idea on a body shape. I made a guitar for the NAMM convention a few years back with a similar body shape.
I have always loved the bastard children of FENDER!

Did this sell, or do you still have it? It is one of the nicest looking basses I've seen on here in a while.

The pickups are Duncan lipstick guitar pickups.
The electronics are a 5 way switch wired the same as a Strat.
The volume has a push/push switch when engaged will give you neck and bridge or all 3 pickups on.

Greetings all... New member, and with my first post I wanted to share my MIA Bullet B30 with original electronics, pick-ups, bridge, etc. Only the pick guard and strings have been replaced, and a thumb rest added by the previous owner. I've owned this for about 20 years and just recently had it overhauled and I am once again playing. Enjoy...

Just received my Squier Jaguar SS back from the luthier. Dustin Herbek, and he did an incredible job.





More pix in the Jaguar SS thread.
