Headless singlecut 6 string (bolt-on) in progress

Hey Bud,

Just ballparkish: how much of an adder to have the controls on the upper horn instead of the usual position? Just wondering.

Hard to break down. Like Mr. Punch said, it was his idea. It's included in the additional fee I charged him for building an original design.

I haven't discussed this with Mr. Punch yet, but I think it would be neat to have the volume control closest to the pickups, then blend, treble and bass. Very user friendly.

....saw the top...
...jaw dropped!
Absolutely perfect for that body shape!

I gotta hand it to Bud. He REALLY has an eye for choosing the right figure for a particular part of his basses.

ABM individual tuner rails.

I thought that top looked familiar.

In post # 24 of the attached thread theres a pic of a few Fodera's and one is a fretless with the controls on the upper horn.

Yeah I saw that in the Meshell N'degeocello thread. There's some cool stuff going on there.

Carey Nordstrand did one a few years ago as well.

Nah...

This is going to be one ergonomic son-of-a-gun. I can tell by the way the body rests on my leg and where my arm sits on the bass.
