The finish definitely helped out quite a bit. It certainly made the grain pop.
The woodworking and finish is off the @#@^ chain! 
Definitely looking to do some JJ pickups on my next bass. How do you like them?

I'm really digging the jj plus p pickup config so far. It definitely opens up a huge variety of usable tones. I would recommend it to almost anyone.
Excellent! I'm planning on setting this up to have 2 vintage sounding J pickups in the 60's position with their type 3 pickup next to the bridge J on the bridge side. In theory, the adjacent type 3 pickup should get close to a 70's position sound.
I just need to revise my specs to add midi. Hmmm, I should get on that this week.
You should be honored to know this pic is the background on my desktop at work for the week.

That's cool man! Thanks for the compliment!
This all all awesome sounding. I can't wait to hear a clip of it! And I LOVE that there are no electronic guts in it!

Thanks... The Bass is not in my hands right now. I sent it back home overseas, I'll be going back there too next month. I'll miss it
I did post a clip in one of my post I believe.
I must say My gas for a Stammies has come to a head. I have to contact Chris about building a Single cut 5 with a wide neck 19mm. I'm going with:
1. Spalted maple top or Chestnut burl- Matching headstock
- Full African mahogany back (no stringers thru back)
2. (wide) 3 pc neck maple/wal/maple- 34" scale- 10mm at nut (black) 16mm at 24th fret
3. Mac Ebony fboard
4. Tung oil finish
5. modified upper bout (connecting at 14th fret)
5. (5) knob config P/P passive/active vol, blend, bass, mid, treb
6. s/p switches (2 black)
7. Hipshot A style bridge (black)
8. Hipshot Ultralight tuners (black)
9. Black mac Ebony knobs
10. Flush mount dunlop strap locks (black)
11. Dual battery box
I'm thinking stock Nordstrand DC series pickups (Mac ebony wood covers exposed poles) I have not decided on a pre yet. Maybe the Mike Pope. I want thick but clear/clean modern type tone to compliment my Smith EG. Hopefully I can have the bass by my birthday in August.

I was thinking about putting midi in mine as well... not sure though. I have a July build date so another month and a half to decide uhhhg.
Heres what I'm thinking of going for so far. I'm a really skinny guy (6'1 125lbs !) So main concern right now is a getting a lighter bass than my marcus miller which is like right at 10lbs maybe 9.8.
4 string
Body Style: CB
33" Scale
17mm string spacing flat neck radius
hard ash neck- ebony sapwood or bubinga board
Mahogany Body
oil/wax finish
24 fret
mike pope pre
emg pickups- PJ configuration
Drop D tuner
recessed straplocks
Undecided features:
Top: Right now I'm going with walnut but that may change
Midi ghost system? (probably not gonna do this)
Invalid Link Removed ???
Brass Nut

Can't comment on the Midi or Stellartone, but I really enjoy the sound of the EMG PJ+Pope combo. The 33" scale neck is a joy to play, too.
Hello!
Interesting thread!
I believe I am the proud owner of one of two 8-string (octave coursed) basses created by Chris Stambaugh.
Bass was custom made for me in 1999. I love this instrument more than any other bass I've owned or played.
Sorry for the poor quality pics - lets hope this works!

Thanks for sharing the pics. I'm expecting a call from Chris in a little over a month for him to get my final spec and start building. Sent him my down payment in February. The wait has been fine so far but as i get closer to the expected start month its getting harder!
