Dude! Love that bass. Solid chrome hums are wicked!!! Great pic

Many Thanks. The Body is 3D Printed with copper infused PLA. The Pickguard is Iron Infused PLA. I built a 500mm(20in) 3D printer and designed it. The Neck is an after market Jbass thats bolted on. Wired it like a sting ray. Sounds amazing.

Here was one from Battle of the Bands in Safford AZ 2021. Used my homemade Bass and was proud to finally gig with it. Was a fun show with the best and very talented Bandmates/friends. Was stoked to had won Bass Player of the year at the competition. Very fun day.

So after many gigs, recordings, battle of the band competition. The 3d printed RIC type bass has held its ground. Recently bid on a storage unit full of lumber and won for $40. Super stoked. Used the wood to make another RIC. Wired it traditionally. Also included a B500K Push pull pot. Used some...

Done. Mimicked infill ratio in accordance to weight of mohagany. Used copper filament for body and iron infused pla for pickguard. Prerouted pickup and output during modeling/ print design. Wired different than RIC. Put in bypass knob, 1 volume, 2 tones with 920 pots. Used J bass style neck with...

Just finished a full body with copper filament. Will assemble soon.

Here's the full build.

I did a half body build with a jbass bridge pickup and humbucker neck. Printed single pieces on cr10 s-5 printer. Pla filament. Printed pickguard, body and vol/ tune knobs. Will do a full body print soon. Happy with results and sounds great. Designed body on fusion and tinkercad. Pickguard and...

So I 3d printed parts of this (Thumb rest, bezel for bridge pickup) Laser engraved the RIC logo on truss rod cover. Plays good. Did it for around $210. Finally almost got a 500mm printer built where I'll try and print a body. Maybe attempt a neck to make it a one piece like this one.

Have had this bass since the 90's and has always been one of my reliable go to's for 20+ years now. My first 5 string. Love the deep smooth tone and action. Only problem ive ever had was when I first got it the neck was bowed pretty bad. Epiphone made it right though. Other than that no...

That Jbass looks great . Kudos. Defiantly post your final print in the fall. Yes it's been discouraging this summer (live in Arizona) to get much done in my shop. Way too hot. In regards to the neck build your conquering, gotta say thats was an awesome idea with the oak dowels. Think eventually...

Hello Gojira, Was curious to see if you ever built your bass? Like you I enjoy both worlds of 3D Creations and Bass guitar. Also luthering. I was reading your posts of trial and error with this Rickenbacker Bass. Also a bass I am making out of wood. However, you inspired me to create a STL file...
