Just finished my new bass!

black limba wings
eastern flame maple neck through w/ walnut center laminate, graphite reinforced
SD Basslines 3 coil alnico MM pickup with 3 band tone circuit
macassar ebony fingerboard
Hipshot A style bridge, string through body
Gotoh tuners
Lithium cell 9v battery (Lasts 3-4 times as long!)
FW75 Fretwire (from lmii, if you really wanted to know)

Right now I have DR Marcus Miller Fatbeams on it, and it sounds just like I wanted it to when i started. My next one is going to be identical except for jazz pickups.

 

Not yet, but i'll get some up as soon as i find my cable that lets me plug into my computer

 

Thanks for the compliments, what do y'all think of the body shape? My brother drew it, and I think i'm going to make a lot more basses with this shape.

 

yeah i was thinking the same thing with more curves, especially around the bottom of the right wing and where the right horn transitions into the body.

 

Yes, it is my first, but I already have number 2 in progress. It is a shellac base coat with tung oil finish, and it needs to be redone already because it needs to dry for at least a week to get hard. Naturally, I couldn't resist stringing it up and playing it so it only dried for 2 days. It has a lot of small scratches where my fingernails hit the neck right under the strings in between the pickup and the fretboard.

 

lost track on money and time, somewhere from 500-600 dollars and maybe 20 hours but thats just a guess.
