Homemade bass club

[Whale]

I've seen clubs in this forum for just about every bass except for those that were made by individuals who are not professional builders.

I just finished with two basses (one for a friend and another for myself) and am about to start on yet another. I'm not sure if I want to go with something "normal" or something interesting, so show me your homemade basses. It doesn't matter if the bass came as a kit or you made it from scratch, let's have a look!

Hi @Whale.
So, not strictly a homemade bass, but I did make it myself at a music college guitar making course I attended for a couple of years in the early 90's.
It is a Stingray 4-string copy with an MM Bartolini and active circuitry.
ESP bridge and Schaller tuners.
Mahogany body, maple neck, ebony skunk stripe, bone nut.
I even made the truss-rod and 'bullet' in the metalwork shop class!

The black Charvel Model 4 copy in the background was the 2nd year project.
