Saw it in person last night at the Shoppe De LeCompte.

It looks better in real life than in photos...I got to touch it too

jealous????


IMO, you guys are smart to be getting one of Bud's basses now. Just imagine how long the wait will be when his basses get really popular.. and i think they will.

What were you doing in my shop? I thought some things looked like they had been moved around.

Oh my lush, that St-4 is beautifully lush....
That shape is so elegant... So sleek... So cool! I was thinking about designing a bass with the little flicks on the horns, but I decided against it and decided on more of a Warwick-esque straight horn style

I happen to like the shape of the PT's quite a bit...it's fenderish but not...really elegant looking you know?

I've actually seen pics of my bass taking shape and I'm totally floored man. This is gonna be so awesome.

I'm still waiting on the bridge to arrive. They've charged my account so that means it should be on its way. The pickups arrived Tuesday. I got the zebrawood headstock lam glued in place tonight. Lookin' good!

It got temporarily put on the back burner. For some strang reason some dudes mysteriously sent me money and expect me to build them some basses. I'm going to get a few things knocked out this weekend and hopefully get back on lil' bro next weekend.

Yo Bud,
do you use a CNC to cut the body shapes?

Thanks Budman! Money tends to send me in another direction also!

Thats some nice work your doing Budman! Hats off to you.

Yo Bud,

Thanks, guys.

No CNC here. I use AutoCAD to design everything. I then print out a 1:1 scale drawing of the body and glue it with artist's adhesive on to a couple of file folders that are open up and taped together end to end. I cut it out with scissors and trace the pattern on to a piece of plywood or MDF. I rought out the template with a band saw and clean it up on the spindle sander. I use a template and router to cut out all my bodies. Then it's back to the spindle sander for a little clean up before I hit the edges with a roundover bit.
