Build thread earlier today...???

Checked it out on FB super cool transformation. I see no issue with the build at all. At the end of the day it's creative, and repurposing of bass into another amazing instrument. Super cool vibe to it.

Here's the Video demo:

Sounds awesome! Especially like the way chords sound - that wood has some deep memory of acoustic-ness and it translates to electric really well.

Sounds really nice! Easily one of my favorite builds I've seen on talkbass.

Could you imagine the backlash that would have happened if he decided to cut up an old 60's P bass, no matter how damaged it was.

There was a dude a coupla years ago here who set his basses on fire to create very creative (and cool imo) effects on his finishes. Similar sort of backlash on his threads. I never understood the freakout. I'd love to see a 3TS with Tort pre-CBS fed through a wood chipper and the video posted here. The TB reaction would be golden. ;-)

The finished bass that came out of this is certainly one of the coolest creations I've seen come through TB. Shows a lot of skill and care and love for the materials at hand. Cheers.

I'm honored by your kind comments guys. Makes the labor worthwhile. Thanks so much.

Ha! just got to the rickresource Suzy Arden guitar thread. These guys changed the pickguard colour and nut (all reversible, didn't glue or unglue anything) and there was a 14 page flame fest.

It does highlight a current phenomenon of rebelling against change… life=change - I toast to this thoughtful build and all that will follow!

Incredible!

Did you wind the pickup yourself? Is it strung with flats?

The pickup is a Seymour Duncan Antiquity P-Bass. Yes, flatwound strings.
