one-piece ash body, flatsawn ash neck, rosewood, Big Singles, that's all. it's a prototype, I'm planning to build the second one with maple board.

Holy monstrous sound god of hell. That bass is made of pure awesome. Love the headstock shape.
What was the fifth knob for? I see the hole's there, but nothing's connected.

thank you, guys! yes, the fifth hole is an active/passive switch, but at the moment there's no electronics, only a 4 way rotary switch (pickup select + mute).
I want a 2 band EQ and a high-pass filter. more photos coming,but got no time now...
(after putting together I felt that there is no need for an active EQ
) but I have the holes, andI always liked the "effect" of a bypassable EQ.. I play the other bass mostly passive, but its handy to boost something with a little swith in a song...)

But he is still Dark, thus making everything you say false.
That thing is killer! Its very Sadowsky-esque.

You seem awfully excited about a small hole in someones bass.
So,how does an ash(?) neck sound as opposed to,say,a maple neck,sound wise??Not a very common neck wood.But,I've always wondered what an ash neck would sound like.Great h-stock,by the way.

lol. yeah. well. not really.
right, from Hungary. but I'm just an amateur, with about 10 instrument per 10 years
pics from the back:
It's hard to say how the ash neck modifies the sound compared to maple.. because I never built a similar neck from maple
In our country the maple is softer than the usual "rock maple" used on many instruments, so I decided to use ash, which is superb for bodies and necks too, in my opinion.
MTD and Fodera is using it, but I think, I haven't ever tried an instrument with ash neck, except mine (most of my basses are ash-necked)
second picture: note the "easy-access" joint and lower horn
3rd pic: the cavity's plate is ..well... it should be only temporary, because the grain orientation looks odd, but knowing myself, it will take long-long time to replece it..
That ash looks amazing, especially the back grain. Bravo! I love it.
How was making a straight headstock (with no angle?) That might be my first design for simplicity reasons.
