What kinda sick mind dreamed up that green one? I love you.

 

[Angus]

Hahaha, I did. It was all based on my supreme love of the color green (and wanting to have a 36" scale, ebony-necked recording bass).

 

[j-raj]

wow those SCD's are sexy!

miss mine.

 

[Angus]

No news on it?

The pups and bridge really complete that bass. I am not a fan of different body styles but that is a handsome bass you have going there.

Just some updated pics and specs:

Model = Custom offset 92 5-string
body = ash
top = burl maple
neck=std 5-piece
Finger B =morado
pickups = set of SC-1
3-band EQ = custom
Hrdware = Blk
Options + wood pickup covers ( Burl to match top )
Wood knobs ( morado to match fingerboard )​

Pete said it should be a light bass with the body weighing under 5 lbs. before it was routed. He estimates it to be under 8 lbs, closer to 7 lbs at a best guess.... Can't wait...

That looks great! I really like the body style (looks like it will balance real well) and the pickup placement. I played a few of Bud's basses at NAMM, and I was really impressed. Of course, Bud is a super guy, as well!

Enjoy!

Tom.

Well, it's almost a month and here's where we are, Wil is one of the best:

Body rough cut:

Fretboard rough w/ binding:

rough neck/headstock w/wenge/maple veneer:

Mine is in the middle on this pic:

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

More pics!

Wenge inlays, interestingly enough I got these pics the same day Wilser had a bad dream and was punching in his sleep....wenge inlays must be a pain

What a combination of class and psychadelia, I really love it.
