Fantasy Time- Design Your Signature bass!

firman-front.jpg


A bass version of that with the body flattened out abit.

A bass version would probably look a lot like a Mosrite. And would be wicked :bassist:
 
basically my Carvin LB76 as is, but stock from the factory, set up as follows:

stock fretless ebony board with no lines
mahogany body and neck with flamed maple top
1 single J pickup at the bridge wired to a single volume
no active electronics or middle pickup.

i love this bass, just wish the mods were factory done.
 
Oooohhh this i like the sound of.

5 String Jazz Style Body with Ibanez SR neck profile. 35" Scale
Neck Through Wenge/Bubinga/Wenge/Bubinga/Wenge Neck
Swamp Ash Wings
Flamed Maple Top
Clear Oil Finish
24 Fret Ebony Fretboard
Delano JC 5 HE Pickups
Aguilar OBP-3 18v PreAmp
Hipshot Triple LockDown Saddles String Thru
Hipshot Tuners
Schaller Straplocks
All Gold Hardware

Too Bad i don't have the £1500 to get it built :(
 
An alembic j-shaped bass, with a 3-layer mahogany/white limba/black limba body core, cocobolo back and sides, a 3-piece wenge and purple heart neck, ebony fretboard/26 medium-jumbo frets. Nordstrand Big Splits in Thumb bass positions.
I would have a 4-string version and a 8-string version.
 
These are designs that I had in mind for Hamer or Gibson, though I don't think these will become reality the way I designed them...

Hamerguy,

Have you run anything by the guys at Heritage guitar, in Kalamazoo, MI (the original Gibson factory)? They seem to be interested in a few off-the-wall designs here and there.

The worst thing they can say is "no"... :hmm:

Just a thought! :cool:

Edit: Sorry-- didn't realize how old this thread-- and your post-- was! I hope you've been able to find someone to do your designs at some point in the past few years!
 
Ok.. Nothing to fancy, but I think it would be nice..

Mate Black Fender Jaguar Deluxe, with Maple, Black Block inlayed P neck.. Audere pre adapted to the stock control layout.. nice P/J pickups (still undecided).. full crome or black pickguard.. output jack on the side..

Guess the custom shop could build it.. I just dont play well enough to justify it... but i will get there!

I saw the heading and was just about to post before seeing this, it's basically exactly what I would take but with a tort guard and maybe a rosewood neck... Maple would nice though too.
 
This is my signature funk bass. It's been in the making for a few months and I received her today.
Alder wood, Delano pickups, passive, vvt. Used to be an old sexy SX bass that was my first bass and I loved the feel of it, to me no fender could compare to how she felt. So I got my Luther to b give her some omft! Best decision ever.

This is now called a NALYBASS. you can find my Luther on Facebook.
