My Custom Build, Ramirez Bass, Wilser

[stedtale]

Will, baby, you're killin' me....killing me softly....

Will knows what he is doing, what a talented guy...

Assembly almost done. Still need to do some work on the pickguard and install the preamp and knobs. Balances well, weight is under 10 lbs.

Yowza!
Now that's a unique spin on a classic vibe! Love the Nordies in it, too. I'm saving up to have Wilser build a bass for me, as well!

 

[Fender32]

ok, i gotta post this....

finish done, here she is sans scratchplate and sans hardware...but lookin' excellent

the flash makes the fretboard look a little lighter on the first few frets than it really is.

Cool!

So, stedtale, when are you getting her sprayed black so that you can join our club (see sig )?

(j/k).

Like everybody else has said, those fretboard inlays are killer ! You're gonna have yourself a very beautiful and unique bass there, once she's all done!

Hope it exceeds expectations!

 

[stedtale]

That's a nice bass. No way does that need paint. Love the inlays.

The switches are (from top to bottom): a/p, mid select - 3 pos, zmode - 3 pos. You can also make the battery level LED from the Audere on the other side of the output jack.

 

[stedtale]

hmmmm...nope I never thought of wenge knobs. but maybe later, hmmmmm....

knobs:
volume
blend
hi
mid
low
(audere 3 band) ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed])

switches:
active/passive
mid freq switch (240, 500 or 800...I think....don't remember off the top of my head)
Z-Mode switch

and there is an LED battery level indicator


EDIT: yeah...what he said

Yeah I can just barely see the LED... nice touch. You really have a talent for building.

I know it's been said a million times, but those inlays are unreal. That bass is beautiful!

Please pardon the sloppy playing ...I just picked up the tune by ear prior to recording the clip.

 

[j-raj]
