My most sublime creation yet

[Boogiedude69]

Greetings.
Over the last few years I have been learning guitar building, which has become bass building.
This was inspired by 2 of my favourite basses.
The shuker uberhorn body. And Jens ritter headstock.
It's not an exact copy, the shape has been altered slightly.
I can honestly say, I have my dream bass now.

Beautiful work. Wow! Very impressive craftsmanship.

 

[TeaTime]

That's a sharp looking build!

 

[BigJohnAZ]

Gorgeous! The best part is you didn't miscalculate the correct amount of strings

 

[SunByrne]

Impressive indeed! And you say you've only been at it a few years?

Seymour Duncan pickups, looks like Gotoh tuners. Is that a Hipshot bridge?

 

[spiritbass]

If it sounds half as good as it looks, you're golden.. Beautiful build!

It's not a hipshot. I got it locally from North west guitars.

Specs or it didn’t happen?

Scale/length?
Number of frets
Nut width
Body wood / top wood / finish style?
Weight?
Neck wood?
Fingerboard?
Pickups?
Hardware?
Preamp/settings?

What did I miss?

Also, it looks amazing. Hope it was a joy to build and even more to play.

A play on the old saying “pics or it didn’t happen” that is popular ‘round here. We got the pics, but not the specs.
