The blue/greenburst Lonnybass was completed in September 09 and features a flamed myrtle top over a mahogany body. The bass has what is essentially a reverse P/J Sadowsky configuration with the 2 band EQ + VTC wired up at 18 volts. The neck is a three piece lamination of purpleheart and maple, and hardware is Gotoh. Here are a few shots from other angles!

Can't beat the ash and maple combo.

One word:
SICK
Yeah, then you hear it and you think "god just graced my ears with his genitals". It's that friggin good.
I could not be more happy with a this bass. I feel lucky to have it ever time I pick it up and plug it in.

it is in the trailer locked up, I will try to find a better pic, but that is my maple ASAT.
FBASS LOVE!
I'm waiting for my favorite maple necked bass to show up here...the sparkly blue precision with a maple board. (I want one....)
I'm such a newbie that I don't even know how to upload pics of my unsuccesfully-reliced-succesfully-defretted-Geddy-Lee-Jazz-Bass-without-pickguard-and-with-a-Norwegian-coin-attached-to-it. Tips?
hey brother! Welcome!
Just head to photobucket and upload your pictures there, then copy the IMG code and paste it here!
Good luck!
I'm going to use my brother's imageshack account to post it.
How did you do it? That's just incredibly good-looking.
I traced the original pickguard onto the record, got out my stencil cutter (basically a soldering iron with a thinner tip) and went to town. When I was done cutting it out I cleaned up the edges with a dremel.
Cutting out the pickup cavity and neck pocket was a major PITA.
I killed two Tchaikovsky records in the process figuring out the best way to do it :|

I'm planning on replacing that neck with a fretless P neck, swapping the neck pup for a Fender Custom Shop 60s and the bridge one for a MM humbucker.
Maybe I'll strip that thick-as-a-brick poly finish and paint it over with white nitro.
PS: that's my lil' brother's bed, not mine
