Finally done with my FrankenFender.....I think! Pics!

Cool Bass! I bet you have fun planning and putting it together.

When I clicked on this thread I thought it was going to be another boring build, but boy was I wrong. Very unique, and that's what makes it so cool! I'm personally a big fan of red and green together. It's a bit like the Jamaican flag.

Looks really cool but how does it sound?

 

[Gegatso]

Love everything about it!

 

[wdinc01]

I can't wait for sound clips. That's a very awesome bass! Only thing I would change is maybe the pick guard, I probably would have gone with a maple fretboard, but that's just personal preference.

I really like the color, too. Very unique!

Thanks man...I was going for something different. You should see the basses on my wall...haha....this green bass...pink on blue (purple) Modulus Q5....and a blue burst Ovation Mob-57....it looks like a fruity pebbles box exploded on my wall.

I will try to get some clips up soon....might not be this weekend...I have a huge test on Monday.

I love wild colored basses, but we're probably in the minority. Can't wait to hear some sound clips. I've always wondered what all three of those pickups would sound like in a bass.

OUTSTANDING job Monkey, You should be very proud of yourself, and of your creation...IT'S ALIVE !!!!

 

[paddygil2]

great work on this - who supplied the pickguard? it's custom, right? any phasing issues with the pickups when you blend? congrats!!

 

[Mr. Ray]

Hi when I look at your bass it reminds me of a watermelon. I like the pickups. I bet that would look really cool with a green pearl pickguard

 

[sonic assassin]

if that were a 5 string.. id buy it tomorrow.

i want those options.

 

[Lesfunk]

It looks like a bass Donkey Kong himself would play. I mean that in a good way. Jungle Burst!

 

[Sound Chaser]

WANT.

It needs a Jazz bridge pickup though...

 

[Sleeq]

is that pukeburst

Nah man i like it!!!

 

[wizay]

Woow !
That looks too awesome! And quite versitale?

Grats dude

 

[perkidan]

You could name it "GAMERA"...the super turtle. lol I absolutely LOVE it. I wanted that body when I saw it as well. Congrats.

 

[etoncrow]

As they say in my neck of the woods, "Ya'll done good!"

 

[capnsandwich]

I want to play that thing so bad. I bet it's got plenty of tones to choose from too.

BTW, I like the name jalapeno burst for the color.

The pickguard is actually stock...I was going to get an aftermarket but they are over $100. No phasing issues at all with the pups and blending....

Yeah, you find me a place to put it and I will consider it.


Thanks for all of the compliments guys...I have to admit, I thought this bass would get more nays than yays....of couse maybe all of the nays are staying silent.
