I have a 32" Big McNeely that I had built, and have a custom body shape in Progress now which will be a 33" 5 string.

The switch is to turn the lights on or off. One knob chooses the lighting effect, and the other chooses the color.

I do still have it. It's a cool bass. Definitely a hollow body vibe. About as unique as they come.

Thanks for all of the helpful suggestions. I ended up choosing to go with Cindy Guitars for the build. One solid piece of live edge walnut for the body and neck. They had it planned for a jaguar shape with a reverse headstock, and i like it. Gonna do a 33" 5 string. Hopefully my photo attaches.

So many great recommendations, thanks to all!! Keep em coming if you got em. More good options than I realized.

Those are. I have been very tempted to grab one in the past! On the spendier side. Hoping for something in the $2-5k range

I've seen these before. Don't love the logos on many of them, but otherwise they check a lot of boxes. May need to look at them again. And they're here in WA.

This could be an interesting option. Definitely great instruments. Would be curious if he has some wood that looks nasty enough

Birdsong has made some beauties, and I've owned a couple of their basses in the past. I'm stepping away from short scales lately though. This wood is right up my alley.

Hoping you guys can help me find what I'm looking for. I'd like to find a quality bass that looks old, natural, rustic and weathered. Not a standard relic, but something knotty, barn wood, holes, etc... Please share any builders you're familiar with that do this type of instruments. Thanks!

I don't have any experience with the Noble, but running my PJB cabinets with a Demeter combo amp definitely gets the warm tubey sound. I have a few PJB combo amps though, and hoping to find a pedal solution that will get me the same warmth as the Demeter.

These are from Spitfire Pickguards. They're not cheap, but there's nothing like them!!

Got a new emerald burst pearl Spitfire Pickguard for the gold bar custom.
