Needing a bass built

I my names josh and I know this post will be utterly vague, but I have a bass body design I would love to be built because I don't have particularly good wood working skills. Is anyone out there that could facilitate my needs? I'd want this to be four string, 18v preamp system with two pickups of whatever brand. Now I don't want to spend an exuberant amount of money on this such as a warrior bass or etc. the woods I would want shouldn't be crap but I don't want upper high end buntings and wenge etc. anyone have any idea of a builder I could contact or comfortable building a custom project like this themselves?
 
If you check some of the Luthiers who have builds, the Tutorials and stickys, and look at their work, you can get an idea of who can do what you are looking for. We commercial users cannot contact you, you have to pm us. That is TB's policy. There are literally hundreds of builds that have been done by many builders and luthiers. Good luck, get a few quotes, you might find someone who can do exactly what you want.

Josh, sorry to burst your bubble, but custom made basses = custom prices.

Start saving for the bass or go get some woodwork lessons. We all have to live with either of these realities. That is why I'm building.
