I talked with Wilser of Ramirez Bass (Link Removed) this weekend. He's gonna start my build. Wilser is great, he has a wonderful combination willing to do anything and giving you his honest opinion on what he thinks will work for what you want. I am going for a vintagy look with some modern feel and features. I have a MM/J 6er maple/walnut/ebony Carvin that I love, and needed to add a different flavor to my "gig/studio" worthy basses.

Here's the specs:
-5 string fretted F model (the new version) Which kinda came out of some conversations that Wil and I were having here on TB and over email.
-wenge pickguard (3 layer wenge/maple/wenge)
-swamp ash body (no figured top)
-3 piece bolt on maple neck
-maple fingerboard with wenge binding and wenge block inlays
-zero fret and wenge nut
-Audere 3 band preamp w/active bypass and 3 position mid switch
-18v electronics
-Nordstrand BigSplits pickups
-Hipshot black hardware
-brass A style bridge
-clover leaf ultralite tuners
-maple headplate veneer
-Rb logo in abalone
-19mm (3/4") spacing at the bridge
-16" fingerboard radius

I started my own thread to track progress.

I have nothing but praise for Wilser Ramirez. He's a great guy to work with.

All of Scott's work looks amazing! I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Look forward to some more progress shots. What are the specs?

Yeah, I already have a guitar he built... That's right, I'm also a guitard. :eek:

It'sa 34" scale 5-er. Afromosia chambered body, Claro Walnut top, wenge/maple neck, ebony board. Nordstrand dual coils, bart pre (with a 3-way pickup selector switch - why don't more basses have these?). Oil/wax finish. Gonna be killer.
