Designing a bass

[Jon_West]

The prof has assigned a project where basically we can design anything we want and showcase it as an advertisement or a concept product sheet.
So of course, I chose to design a bass.
The initial design will be roughed in photoshop, then the finals will be on paper using traditional mediums.

Right now, I have some paper designs and I'm having trouble deciding which one I should use... what do you guys think?

(headstock shape will probably be different)

A little bit of progress on the rough for the first one

Decided to follow through with the first design. Almost done the rough... just have to finish up details on the headstock.

Wow! Great designs; very boutique like!
And your photoshop skills are very slick as well!
I would have went for the single cut design, but that's just me : )

Let us know how it comes out (+ any tips, tricks, lessons learned for those who are into building)

Your shopping skills are good, but not great. I don't think I would be fooled by this one. But you answered your own question ("which one should I use?") so that's all I have to say.

Nice design, I like the different woods used. Its a little bit "boutique-y" for my tastes, but the contours on the shoulders are a nice touch.

Hey, great looking bass.

If part of your paper is a marketing study then you can put me down as an "I'd buy one".

If you'd told me this was the new body from AC Guitars (apart from the EMG) I'd have probably believed you. Your roughed 'shopping skills look pretty good to me!
