This bass with an unlined fretless ebony neck would be my dream bass

Here are my 2 basses I made from blocks of wood.. except for the fret boards that I ordered from Stewmac. I'm always working on them, like prototypes. Waiting on a D-tuner for one and different pups for the other. I've gig'd both these basses quite a bit over the past few years. My goal was to make a 34" scale bass feel like a short scale due to the bridge being mounted near the back of the body. Very light weight and NO neck dive means I can play these all night!

One is an swamp Ash body I used an Orange Dye with Fender re-issue pups, the other has an Alder body and a spalted maple top using an Amber Dye color. I used Tung oil for the bodies and Satin finish for the necks, both have hip shot Ultra-lite tuners and bridges, passive with CTS pots.

[Oldboy]

Heres mine.Didn't build it myself though.It was bought on the Basschat UK bass forum.NIce little 5er with Artec eq.It was sold as a 'Harper' bass,but I can't for the life of me find any info about it.Definitely has the 'homemade' feel about it tho'.

 

[SurferJoe46]

Yep. Several.

Of course, the last one's a "clean out the parts bin" special, minimal woodwork involved.

I expect perfection out of both you guys - and as far as I can see, you've not failed in your homemade basses.

Maybe I don't alla da time agree with john_10, but he does have class, while M.R Ogle also takes a playability vs eye appeal as a priority.

I tend to stay conservatively in the Fender arena, but I colored outside of the lines for one:::
