$100 Bass Challenge - Marceline's Axe Bass

[JIO]

It'd be fun to go 'under cover' today (not in costume) and hear people talk about you guys (in costume yesterday) w/o knowing it was you!

 

[Gabbs]

Seems like an unqualified success. Bravo, well done!

 

[El Spearo]

I can't help but feel a bit sad that this thread is coming to an end... @mapleglo you have won the internet. When do you start your next build?

 

[mapleglo]

Getting ready to go out the first day.

Bands were playing.

Marshall Lee was there.

And other Marcelines.

Even Frank stopped by.

Zombies!

And more frightening, clowns!

And of course, we were there.

Rockin'

The whole event was very cool, though it was really hot outside. I'm thinking next year, we'll go as Sarah Connor and Arnold. Less makeup...

Postcard done by the artist who did the Marceline and the Scream Queens comics.

 

[Rôckhewer]

Wow... Nice work.
But the artist has a thing or two to learn about string spacing / pickup placement.

 

[wraub]

Super f-in' groovy.

Looks like a blast was had.

Hey Mapleglo

Kudos to you and hubby - what a great build, a super thread and an awesome event. Thanks so much for all the photos and all of your hard work. Very fine, indeed.

So, any idea who is judging these $100 builds and when the deadline is? Actually, in thinking about it - I don't think many have finished so the deadline must be a ways away.

Thanks! I believe we agreed on August as the deadline. At some point, I suppose we'll make a poll in the original thread, or create a new one, and list all the entries to allow people to vote.

Hey Mapleglo

That is so cool, kind of a "People's Choice" award. I thought the builders would vote among themselves. Hey you know - it could be kind of nice to have two awards. One that only the builders vote on and one that the "people" can vote on. That way everyone would also have two chances to win!

 

[RaniBrandt]

...Or mapleglo gets to win two awards!

With the OP nowhere to be found recently I think a new thread will be required, and if I may be so bold I believe that the Goddess of All Things Luthiery should start it.

 

[Marcury]

Dayum girl you rocked it hard!

Thanks for the great thread. Check it! Cool and funny pictures. Mash up of sorts.

@maplglo did you let the bassist try it?

 

[mapleglo]

Cool boots!

@maplglo did you let the bassist try it?

We didn't really get a chance to talk. It was *really* hot out there in the sun, and I started disintegrating, as vampires do in the sun, so we really couldn't wait until the end of their set. They were pretty good. Fairy Bones, a local band that has attained some measure of success, for good reason.

 

[buldog5151bass]

I'm in Peoria today, and it's 118. I feel your pain.

 

[josiah goldfish]

This bass has me wanting to make an adventure time bass...

Or maybe one of the cartoon ones Phineas and Ferb play...

Or some other kind of cartoon bass...

Seriously though, this is one of the coolest bass builds I've ever seen!
