Special Edition Build off - Build em if ya got em

[Scoops]

Greetings

In uncertain times, it is good to know you that have something to participate in that is certain, building basses in the Luthier’s corner!

For this Special Edition build off, our theme will be "Build em if ya got em".

So, what is "Build em if ya got em" and how does it apply to this build off?

Our rules are simple:
Build what ya got:
· New from scratch
· Finish the unfinished
· Use reclaimed materials
· Tweak and/or modify
· Collaboration
· Adopt a project
· Minimum diameter for lowest pitch string is .084"
· Whatever you can make happen.
· All points in between

To enter the build off, simply start a new thread using "Special Edition Build Off" as part of your title, and start building. In your initial post, provide a picture of your starting point

For those that already have a thread for an incomplete build, either rename it or create a new thread

• Please name the all manufacturers of products you are using when posting.
• The build off will start Thursday, March 26th, 2020
• The build off will end on Sunday, June 21st , 2020, 2:00pm GMT -6

Voting will start immediately after the close of the build off

I ask that you please put a link to your build back to this thread so we have a central reference point for all of those that wish to participate

You can join when you have time, and you can enter as often as you like.

If you have any related questions, please feel free to post it here or PM me.

Thanks and have fun!

At the end when we post for voting is MANDATORY! (just kidding here)

Any time in between is optional

Is a prebuilt neck okay? I just picked one up from another TB'er and was going to start a build anyways... might as well document it!

[littlebooner]

I'm excited for this to start all over again (even though I still haven't decided to vote for in the last build off...)

 

[Beej]

Hmmm...I guess I better figure out what I'm a gonna do...

 

[Jisch]

I'm bummed to see all these builds starting, I'm just not in a place to start one. I'll have to reassess after I get this guitar done on whether I'll have time. I think I'm going to be doing two more guitars after this one, but you never know how these things will go.

 

[mikewalker]

Hmm... I really shouldn't even be contemplating a new bass (in the process of selling off the whole collection right now!) - but since it can be a short-scale, I guess I might as well recycle some parts...

(to make something similar to this...)

 

[dwizum]

I've got my plan together, with the help of some brainstorming with my kids. Not quite ready to share details but I'm super excited. This is going to be glorious.

Ha I didn’t see the enormous on/off switch at first that’s awesome!
