And, but also, another first build thread

Wow! I must say that it all comes together really well. The grain on that upper wing is sooooo sweet.

thanks. yeah I really lucked out with the grain in the wood. it is sick. as always, pics dont do it.

So that are some stunning woods! I love the challenging design! Do you have some soundclips of it?

That's a funky bass for sure.

Very nice!

thanks, all. i was going for something you might see on Jack's Big Music Show. I think I got it.

Wow, that looks really cool. Like a Wish, but much better. If he built like that, I doubt he'd have so many critics.

 

[rythman6969]

well my Wishbass is what pushed me to finally make my own. and I love my Wish. and it is somewhat like a Wish ( headstock esp. ) but mine you dont have to fill with superglue to keep it from coming apart.

Wow - very, very nice! This is just the inspiration I need to keep going on my plans to build my own. Like you, mine will be Wishbass (I'm planning on a JBesque body design that will NOT put the pup so close to the bridge) inspired but without the lack of attention to detail. Way to go!

By the way, did you find those tuners to be lighter in weight than the Gotoh's?

Dude, that yellowheart looks like mustard.

thanks. post pics when you build yours. and I couldn't find the weight on the sperzels.. the gotohs really arent much heavier than ultralites. it's a difference of a couple ounces for the 4 of them. I don't think these are any heavier. they are anodized alum.
