MUCKELROY CUSTOM BUILD (MEDIUM SCALE CONTENT)

Here's the latest. I've opted to go with black knobs as the gold felt like too much. I'm still on the fence about the tuners though. Currently, they have a mix of black and gold like the bridge.

Boy this bass is so beautiful in person. Further its ergonomically amazing. So easy to play and sounds great. It's like going from a Honda to a BMW (Brady Muckelory Works). Handles like a dream with a nice taught B.

If you're thinking about a custom build, I would not hesitate to contact Mr. Muckelory. He's talented, professional, stand-up guy with a passion for perfection and customer satisfaction. Now its time to practice.

I've known Brady for a good while and he is top notch in all regards. He is a great man of integrity.... one of the best bass players I know.... and a great craftsman. I've been in his shop and had him do a little tune-up on an old bass as well.

You've got a beautiful bass there and I hope you enjoy it immensely!
 
Five months later I'm still finding things that I love about this bass. It just hit me how nice the 1/2 inch bloodwood is on the neck. Makes for super smooth line for your thumb as you move up and down the neck.
