6 String Cherry bass

[Headless Llama]

Now that I have plenty of time to build stuff, I figured I should work on a bass I started a while back.

It is a 1 3/4" thick solid cherry body. I am doing the shaping right now... Here are some pictures!

Bass and table look great, but I am mostly jealous of your arsenal of Lie Nielsens...

The legs on the table look like necks from a Hofner Beatle Bass, minus frets. The top sure as hell doesn't. Nice.

That's a good idea Make a table from necks!

Sorry for the lapse! I recently started a new job, and I've been pretty busy. Which is good!

I recently bought some pickups for this bass. I'll have them in soon.

Better late than never! After being away from this for too long, I am back! I hope to have this wrapped up in the next week or so. Pending on time delivery of some items.

This will house the battery and wiring. I will be using the typical Ritter strat type output:
