[Rickett Customs]

Switch one of them over to a Jazz, then you can say you've got it all

 

[PortugalWillie]

Looks like did a good job with it. I'd install a 2 band active eq myself and change pickgaurd to basic black one. But overall looks like nice doublenck P bass.

I don't think a single large pickguard would look nearly as good as this. The lines of the original pickguard really work well. If it were all in one it would look huge and boring IMO.

is it practical? I wonder how it feels after a 90 minute set?

Practical? Practical would be owning just one bass that's functional and not too expensive. I looked at your profile and just like most of us it looks like you lean more toward the fun and interesting than the practical.

The one thing I would maybe change would be to have the fretted neck on top for better slap position. Also it would work for right hand tapping with the fretted neck on top while tapping melody on the fretless with the left hand. Now THAT's practical! hahah

Very good job!

I have admit, practically wasn't something I really had in mind with it, and it was mainly for giggles, but it is quite usable. I always thought it would at least make a nice ornament if it didn't work out!

90 minutes would be a bit much but it's not too bad for shorter sessions, the original bodies are basswood I think, and quite light.

I can't decide if it's supercool or butt ugly.
If nothing else it will get you seen.
More power to you.

I vote supercool.

That bottom pickguard would annoy me with the overhang that it has. That aside, I dig the vibe of the spacing between two pickguards like that. Sikk.

 

[electracoyote]

Good job!

As I find myself wanting to switch between fretted and fretless more and more on stage, this is high on my priority list. I've seen a couple now, and yours turned out nice considering you went on the cheap. Definitely more food for thought as to how I will approach my own.

Thanks for sharing.

Supercool. Maybe your next project could shut up all those P vs. J people. ;-)

 

[J Posega]

That's a project I've been thinking about for years now, gluing together two basses. I think it's pretty sweet looking. I bet two seperate pickguards and paintjobs would certainly make for an even more unique instrument. Of course, you can always swap either neck out for a lefty, or even an 8-string from say Warmoth.

It looks like it's got lots of bottom.


Tell it to pull up it's pants.
