I was wondering when this was to occur.. Great talent on this forum for sure!

 

[knucklehead G]

Are we voting for our overall favorite, the best idea, the best execution, the one we'd like to own..? I've got different choices for all of those.

I haven't really been paying too much attention to the history of this bake off, but just wanted to say HOLY CRAP, you guys made some really classy looking stuff!!!

This is the Drake Custom entry into the Fretless 5 Comp. She was a real joy to build. Thanks for checking her out.

Very smooth Drake!! Bet it plays like buttah!!

Big B's bass is absolutely stunning, and that back is just awesome. Kevs bass is so clean looking with the thumb wheel pots. The Habanero Is also amazing, especially sense all of the electronics are one off custom made stuff.
But right now I'm leaning towards the Grant Bass, that top is beautiful and the design is pure class.

 

[Need2KnowBasses]

Amazing and beautiful basses. Very nice work. All the basses in this thread are outstanding.

 

[Thumpin_P]

At first, I was thinking about the complexity, skill, and originality. But, you have to think about what the bass was meant to be...what was the designer's vision, what did they want to express. Maybe I'm looking too much into this...but, IMHO, all of these basses show very impressive skills in very different areas. They each evoke a different feeling when you look at them. Just saying, this will be hard to judge. Great Job Guys!!!!!

As mentioned in the thread above, sadly I've not had time to finish the bass before the deadline. The neck has not been lacquered yet but I thought I'd bolt it on and string her up, so it will give you guys an idea of what the finished product will look like. I apologise that the last few pictures aren't very sharp, the first picture was taken outside... seconds before it started raining, so the rest were taken inside without much daylight.

Good luck to the other entrants and thanks to JC for organising this

The Habby V is slick!

I'm used to seeing great woodworking around here, but I've never seen someone build their own preamp. Its going to be hard pulling my vote away from that.

+1
Pickup making also deserves my respect.

At the moment, I'd say Grant Bass has my vote. I'm a Fender traditionalist, but there's no denying that is one sexy bass!

 

[adam.beauchene]

I would trade my bass for Simo's in a hot minute.
