Screamin!

Thanks guys! Just bought an SKB HS electric guitar case and it fits like a glove!

On another front, I also just picked up a Hohner B2B headless for my next project. It has a Steinberger licensed bridge and a bolt-on neck...and it was fairly inexpensive. Off to the drawing board!

That color is sick - It makes me want to build a bass just to get one of those cool flippy paint jobs

Nice work - good on ya

 

[Melik]

This is the freakin' best lookin' build in TB so far!! you nailed it man!!

 

[knigel]

Let me just say that I never liked headless basses. Until now! Amazing job, Bottoms Up!

Ditto, that came out terrific!

 

[BassCycle]

It's a stunner, congrats!

 

[makkE]

Very sexy. Love that finish!

 

[RyanJD]

Wow. That's absolutely amazing.
You sir, have some true talent.

I gotta know though, if life forced you to sell this off, what would your asking price be?
I'm just curious. x]

 

[Bottoms_Up!]

I wouldn't even know how to put a price on this. The question is, what would you pay?

 

[TNCreature]

I LOVE this. Bravo.

i usually hate headless instruments but i would play this and maybe buy one if you sold them

Brilliant!

Now if you just added an extended neck with a flip lever that goes to D, you'd have yourself a RicKuberger...or RickenBergericki...or something else...

 

[Rozeg]

what a beautiful bass
looking forward to hearing the sound clips!

 

[tZer]

WOW! That looks amazing!

I don't even like headless basses, but I LOVE that one!

This deserves some likes here

Time to wrap this thread up. Here she is. I still can't get over this flip-flop paint job! It goes from gold to silver to green and even a little blue here and there. Just amazing! I can't thank Mary Bell enough

As far as the build goes, for my first slab-job, I couldn't be happier. Sure there's some minor flubs here and there, but all in all, I think it came out great.

It set up very easily. Dialed the intonation and action in in just a couple minutes. As far as playability, it's a Steinberger through and through. Nice low action, fast neck, and that beefy EMG/HazLab combo sounds amazing.

TRhanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed this build thread!

 

[Marcury]

That is sweet!

I can't believe I missed this entire thread. Fantastic instrument!
