Man o' man, Wilser's magic touch keeps getting more and more refined.
Have to say my heart actually races seeing this beauty in its final stages.
You've made excellent wood/spec choices on this one, DannyR!

Sweet looking bass, DannyR! Loving the headstock! Really makes the bass pop.

 

[Danny R.]

Thanks guys.
I'm very exited!! It should be done by next month (today's the last day of the month isn't it ) Wilser expects the sound to have some SERIOUS BALLS!!

So I placed a deposit with Fred for a Bee a few weeks ago. He's been fantastic to deal with so far, very patient and willing to discuss all sorts of ideas/options, even before I'd placed the deposit. Here's the specs as they stand:

5 string neck through with modified worker body.
solid quilted sapele body
5 piece Maple neck with bloodwood stringers
36-33" scale
Fanned frets
single MC Delano pup


I can't wait, it's my first new bass in 20 years (granted I took the last 10 years off but...) It will be 3-4 months, so I guess I'm going to learn patience

Here are the final specs. At least almost all of them.

Wings: peruvian walnut with a veneer of almost white wood which I dont remember its name. the top/back is a rare type of moena (Aniba ssp).

Neck: Pumaquiro (Aspidosperma macrocarpon/Peruvian Maple - Janka 1500 and specific gravity 0.67)/peruvian walnut/purpleheart/peruvian walnut/pumaquiro/peruvian walnut/purpleheart/peruvian walnut/pumaquiro. The veneer between walnut and purpleheart is pumaquiro.

Fretboard: Quinilla (Manilkara bidentata/Bullet wood/Peruvian cherry - Janka 3190 and specific gravity 0.85)

Scale: 34"

# Frets: from 21 to 24

Hardware: Gotoh 206 bridge and Gotoh tuners

Pickups: Bartolini 9J1 neck jazz & Bartolini BC4CBC at bridge

Preamp: Bartolini 5.4 (pull/push vol, blend, bass, mid, treble and mid frecuency switch selector)

Finish: 24 coats of Waterbased Poly

Knobs made from scraps of moena and nut made from scraps of pumaquiro

Edit: I don't have anything to weight it but it weights about 1/4 less than my LTD F254

my Bilodeau bass is getting closer by the day, starting to feel like christmas time.. I really give him credit for finding the perfect cocobolo top for this.
