Nice wood on this first page.

I hope it's not against the rules to post a bass I'm building for myself! if it is, then may the mods delete this message

Thing is, I'm feeling everybody's pain because I am on my own wait list (if that makes any sense) because customer basses take precedence.

It's a 5 string unlined fretless
35" scale
mahogany wings
purpleheart/yellowheart neck
macassar ebony fingerboard
Audere 3 band pre (customized with vintage passive tone)
yellowheart top
Ramirez custom humbucker with matching wooden cover

Well I’ve had the Laggan fretless 7 for about a month.
Great bass, BUT- (due to poor communication on my part),
the string spacing is tighter than I like and the neck isn’t positioned as I hoped.

SO- with lessons learned, after seeing examples of his great work (like on the post preceding this one), I turned to the mighty Wilser.
I presented him a design that blended elements from two of his (IMHO) coolest models, along with some of my own touches.

Thankfully, he liked it enough to take on the project!

Here’s a preliminary render

Should be ready late Spring, early Summer!

I'm waiting for the start of a custom bass made by Chris Stambaugh. I'm getting pretty antsy.

 

[pickles]

I'm waiting for a Valenti PJ5 (reversible P) in oly white, tort guard, nordstrands + sadowsky pre, ash/rosewood. My first custom ever (other than my homebuilt) and I cannot wait!!! I keep buying other basses to tide me over but its not helping!

IMPRESSIVE .. I have to say that's a sick neck joint

 

[Anthbass]

Front and back pics of the nearly completed Clement fretless. The body needs final sanding and finishing but that is pretty much it. Tom is taking it out on a gig tonite to make sure all is in order. Needless to say, I'm pretty chuffed at how the build turned out.

That clements fretless looks cool, I am still awaiting to hear word that my Brase is in Toronto (then has to be shipped to the coast...)

Waiting sucks.
