DIY : just started...

[neeko]

Hi there,

I just started my first DYI project with my friend luthier Invalid Link Removed

Name of the project : Germanium Bass

Here's the model :

An old german FASAN SC bass (quite rare apparently - still searching any info about it)

I'm a big fan of these old german basses (Hofner, Klira, Framus,etc.). I wanted to built one for a long time, keeping the overall feeling of these, but with enhanced specs...

Here are the specs :
Short scale : 30"
body :basswood + Marshall elephant red tolex covering (!)
neck :maple
fingerboard : rosewood
Neck profile : same as my 74 4001S Rick
Pickguard : yellowish perloid
pickups : Dearmond Turbo-Jet

Bridge : Gibson 3 points (5' strings spacing) :

That's what it gives after the first day :

I'll update this thread throughout the progression.

Feel free to post any comment and suggestion.

Bye

Neeko

By some time I got my hands on DDR made Musima Deluxe bass. That was a nice bass. Have no suggestions thats yer project, I like DIY basses.

Id reccomend looking at eastern made basses. Also very interestingly shaped
