    Orbis Guitars Terratum III Bass - G3 Style Build

    Well, after lots of interest in the Grabber-style build (which I've dubbed the "Terratum IV"), I was asked to build a G3-style build in the same vein as my Terratum IV, so I did! I have put my own spin on the body carve (deeper all around), but still stuck with 1.5" body thickness for weight...

    Grabber-style Build

    So this is my first complete build in nearly two years since my old shop burned down. Took me a bit longer to complete it than I anticipated (not having a proper workshop setup), but it is finally here. Introducing: The Snatcher! :laugh: Got this about 98% done. Need a truss rod cover, strap...

    Hey guys. So a bit of back story about this project... I snagged this 1979 T-40 for $200 on Craig's List a few months back. Dabbled with it at the dude's house, seemed, okay, and figured that $200 was a steal for this (including OHSC). Took it to band practice, tuned it up, and played through...

    Bass VI Neck-Through build (Pic Heavy)

    Hey all, This is my first post here, so I'll tell you a bit about myself. I am a luthier/bassist from Pittsburgh, PA - started about 3 years ago because, well, I wanted a few custom guitars and didn't have the money to shell out! This Bass VI was my second build ever, and it took me a little...
