It's Alive! Part Two: The FenderOmega

[southernrocker]

Awesome. Nothing is as cool as a one-off hand made bass.

 

[bobbth]

that is awesome enough to make a little girl cry!

and that action is a tad on the high side but my first two basses were worse, its deffinitely do-able

 

[duckbutter]

I really dig the wood grain. I think if I ever build a bass myself, I'll have to give that a try. What exactly was the process for that?

+1
Also, is there a finish on it?

 

[Bardley]

that action is so high it just made my stomach turn...

otherwise, thumbs up

I bet you could shoot arrows with that thing.

I actually like the look. The finish looks great. I don't really care for the red killswitch or that high action, though.

Overall, good job.

Yep, lacquer.

It only works with wood with a heavy grain. Simply follow the grain with the blow torch, it blackens instantly. If you burn the wood, don't worry; it comes out easy with a belt-sander.

The workingman's Alembic. I dig it.

Really nice body/blowtorch"treatment".An Alembic-style headstock would be the icing on the cake.Still????Looks great,regardless.

I only see one problem with it... I'm sure you will lower the action right?

My problem is... where the heck are the frets!?

I like it! It shows creativity and that you have schutzpah. I especially like your blowtorch-grain finish, very cool idea.

Who's Schutzpah? I'm the one who built it.

 

[Greevus]

Cool, creativity lives. The only nightmare is if you get sick of it and try to find someone to take it. I "butchered" a Ric into firewood. It was bright orange when I got finished with it. I do dig it. I understand exactly what made you do it!

 

[T-Forty]

Needs this headstock

Apparently I misspelled it.

(taken from Wikipedia):
In Hebrew, chutzpah is used indignantly, to describe someone who has over-stepped the boundaries of accepted behavior with no shame. But in Yiddish and English, chutzpah has developed ambivalent and even positive connotations. Chutzpah can be used to express admiration for non-conformist but gutsy audacity.


What I've put in bold is how I meant it.

Oh! Thanks. I was reading as the creativity that you have, rather then what you wrote: and that you have. Sorry about that.

The workingman's Alembic... I like it!
