My friend just got his made to order custom bass. He choose the woods, the pickup configuration etc.

Its a beautiful 6 string frettles with a piezo bridge.

I have always bought stock basses and I had never thought about ordering a custom made. I guess it is just a personal philosophy. I have changed pups, preamps etc but always on stock basses.

Looking at my friends bass just makes me wonder how many of u guys are into the custom thang?

I am the only one that is not?

show me some pics of basses that were built to your personal specifications
 
wow man...nice drozed !

well, if i was living in the states and had the money i guess i would have orderd one that would be the most freakey - cool bass i would have thought of, but as for now i just enojy the ones i have all stock ones - and one is modified.

it just sounds more reasonble to order one bass that will have all the things you like in basses, then to get one stock bass and get used to it.
 
Must I post this beautiful piece of art yet again?

You leave me no choice!

Here's a better quality picture of it where you can actually see the purpleheart lines, and if you click the link you can see the full size version of it (it's over 200k, so I didn't want to post it and take up bandwith).
