Thanks. I just wanted to post it to maybe inspire someone to build one too. I built it in my home garage with minimal and homemade tools. Did alot of studying before I started
Lol! Not a master, a rookieYes, it´s a homemade bass guitar, but it was made by a master professional luthier...
Great job!!!! Your skills are impressive!!!!
Thank you. I used wood dies that I borrowed from a friend, which I had no experience with. I only had few color to work with so I used purple, yellow and red to make the brown I was looking for. The purple is still on the guitar.Wow! Amazing for a first build, better not be your last!
What did you do, stain it purple, then change your mind?

No jig, just marked and cut them on the bandsaw.Fantastic first build and love the tapered neck through stripes, I suppose you used some sort of jig for that. Great job.
