DYN-O-MITE !

[Dark Horse]

Well, I planned on using some other parts on this bass - ordering a different pickup, neck, tuners, etc - but I just got a last second call to go out on a 6 week tour, so I was forced to finish this up with parts I had on hand. I threw in the lipstick pickup (which sounds great, BTW) and used a old Ibanez Roadstar neck (reshaped the headstock), etc, etc.... I have some touch ups to do, but it came out really cool I think.....

That is a pretty awesome idea and execution. 4 thumbs up!

Oh, just had an idea: what if the pickup was disguised as a stick of dynamite, with a fuse coming out of the top?

Now that I have one down, the next one I can make a few adjustments....

1SHOT - sounds great - big and fat, but still has nice clarity. I'm really happy with it. Not only do the looks go "BOOM!", but the sound does too !

Bass turned out awesome Andy, but again, that was to be expected coming from you! Your build inspired me and I ordered a very similar one from Scott at Grove Guitars, got the crate off e-bay. It's getting a Warmoth Tele neck in maple/rosewood, mahogany hollow body, with a single "F" hole, Schaller bridge and Seymour Duncan 1/4 pounder. Can't wait for it to get done! I'll post some pics once I get it.
