Find my dream bass

How about a Warmoth build?

 

Warmoth could get you exactly what you need. You can build a boutique bass for a fraction of the price with all the quality.

 

If money is no big issue I think I would have one build by a luthier specifically to my preferred specs if I were you, alternatively for a bit cheaper solution assemble one yourself from Warmoth parts fitting your preferences.

I once owned a bass I build from Warmoth parts and it was one of the best basses I ever owned, which I very much regret selling.

Warmoth makes really high quality parts and they make them to just about every possible combination of specs you could wish.

 

Ibanez had something very similar, my daughter's band teacher plays it. Satin black, but unsure of the active/passive or fret count.
Clicked all the other boxes though, and is a nice looking bass, precision style body


not able to find a model yet...

Theres one in the classifieds which nails all this except it's a jazz bridge pup.

 

This looks pretty badass:
For Sale/Trade - I hate myself for doing this: Drake "Super P" fully custom active P

You could also probably mock one up on the Sandberg or Maruszczyk sites. There was a Fender production model with those specs, maybe not 24 frets, but with the pickups and active/passive electronics.

 

Sandberg basses will make exactly that.

 

You might have to compromise on a few features but this comprises as few as possible....

 

Kiesel...they can build that in their sleep. I ordered one almost same specs but in a painted finish.
Rock on.

Or everything else you need!








may the bass be with you

Then you will be buying off the rack at guitar center and compromising.

 

... that’s not true at all.

 

This guy beat me too it, Sandberg seems to be the way to go for you. They're active basses but usually have a passive switch on them. Otherwise if they don't have a model thats off the shelf to your spec, they build one for you. The downside is they're not cheap but they are very nice instruments worth what they're charging IMO

 

i too vote warmoth. my first build, i just gave the parts to my luthier and he did everything. the rest i just have him do the final setups. there's gotta be a luthier in Australia somewhere nearby, right?

 

Valenti Basses!

 

They make solderless setups for electronics. Not sure what you envision you'd need to put together a parts bass beyond a standard set of screwdrivers.

Btw how much were you looking to spend?
