home made

I'm building a 4 X 10 cabinet, with some eminence ES1040E16s I have. I can't find the specs on these things...!? Any ideas? I'd like to make either 2 x 2 x 10s or a 4 x 10, but need the specs to start the plan. Pleeaaasse help.

Hey everyone. Thought I would share this bass rack that I finished up recently. It was my first attempt and I’m happy with how it turned out. I had left over maple ply wood from a floating desk so I figured my basses could use a new home. First pictures are when I started assembling. I...

It's almost perfect! Built of stuff ordered from Ebay, a lot of it from Red China. Pre-finished paulownia body, J-bass neck with white binding strips and black dots (very important for low-light visibility), lightweight tuners, Babicz bridge (to get the necessary string height, since the neck...

Pedal works great, has no labels so the case is great for someone wanting to do something of their own. Don’t use it, can’t really find a need for it in my playing. Thanks for looking, price is shipped CONUS. Trade offers welcomed.

I'm not really an FX user, but I have some pedals either for fun or other random reasons. I made the board out of steel but at 16" long, it really isn't that heavy. I really don't plan on lugging it around too much (yet, at least). Setting up A few short welds is all it took I used some...

I wanted to try out this tele bass pickup, and this $30 beater bass seemed the perfect guinea pig. I cut it out with a jig saw, and used a coping saw for the curve of the neck pocket and the pickup hole. It only took about an hour, could have been less if I didn’t keep needing tools from the...

And it's blue! Certain body styles that are rather off the beaten path or otherwise somewhat "odd" seem to appeal to me. This doesn't stop me from playing Pbasses and Jazzs. I like those too and lots of others. But I Really like the shape of the Non-Reverse Thunderbird. I enjoyed wrapping my...

WARNING: wordy post. Hello folks, I’ve been gassing for a semi hollow bass for a while. I’ve tried a few production models, and while they’re cool they’re also pretty pricey, and since I’m in the process of moving, money is a little tight. What I do have, however, is a pretty abused Squier...

Hi all, I thought I'd post a few pics of my first P-Bass build. It is an Alder body, Maple neck, Gidgee fingerboard (Australian timber) with Nitro finish. I've been mainly building acoustc guitars but started on a few electrics recently and this seemed to be the next logical step. No kits, no...

Just for general, I made this cover. About $15 for extra wide Gorilla tape at Home Depot and $8 for Double thickness electronics box at U-Haul. The cover ended up being a little snug but functional. I'm in my 60's now and appreciate the light rumble 40. 10 years in Natl Grd bands and 5 years on...

Do many people use home made gear? My dad made mine, it has a great sound (but as I’ve never used anything else I don’t have much to compare it to). The chap who booked it in for it’s latest PAT test looked for ages for a maker before I realised what he was doing. I should have got Dad to sign it.

Has anyone thought about or actually converted a regular bass to an EUB? I have long thought about this and have two donors that I'd like to attempt a conversion on. One is a Hamer Cruise 2-Tek fretless, the other is a Music Man S.U.B. I'm thinking something like an NS NXT or Dean Pace type...

It's not perfect, but it is my first build. I finished it a few years ago, but haven't bothered to post it anywhere. It could be better, but I'm sure all people highly criticize their first build, and probably every build since then. It's Birdseye maple on maple neck. Reinforced with carbon...

I have a maple neck and a ton of thin (0.30") pieces of soft maple. I was thinking it would be cool to laminate together a bunch of the maple to make a body blank. The laminates are not very flat, but I tried putting them in the vacuum bag with some mdf on the bottom, the pressure of the bag...

This is what I modified to wheel my bass amp around ! (I am 76) I then lift my amp off the cart and use the cart as a stand for my bass ! Works Great ! Necessity .... the mother of invention !

Ive been working on this project for a while now. This will be my second bass, with my first one being an Ibanez sr300. This is also the first 5 string I have ever played. I built this completely from scratch in my high school wood shop class. It took about 5 months. for the wood, I used...

The new band I joined uses IEMs, and I got a pair of Westone UM2s. Our sound guy sent me a youtube video on making your own custom earpieces from the Radian "mold your own" shooter earplugs (cost is about $10). This is designed for shooters, and full earplugs are rated at -26 decibels. You...

Made this with my brother. Welded metal base with covered section for power supply and cables, topped with repurposed wood pallet wood. There's enough room to replace my power supply with another (bigger if I want), and plenty of space for one or two more pedals. Rustic and clean. Sorry for the...

Current arrangement of my homemade pedal board

I spent all of my funds on an awesome cab - Fearless F115 build by JHawk. Didn't even cross my mind about a padded cover to protect my investment. Good thing I own a sign shop. I used scraps of coroplast and Gorilla tape to build this. I routed these on my CNC. I was just going to use it until...

Home made purely acoustic neapolitan-built bass. For starters, I´m not a seller of basses, this one is the first of it´s kind, (as far as I know) and I´m not selling it. It still have many design and construction problems. This is just a very very awesome prototype. Will upload videos soon...
