Thanks bro! I will!

Did you see the artwork for the neckplate?:

Yes I saw the neck-plate. Another great piece of individuality that will tie in nicely with the headstock plate.

My own GROVE custom neck-plate and the happy couple!

 

[drummer5359]

Wow! I love it.

 

[jbossolo]

Your headstock matches the top perfectly. I hope mine turns out half as good.

This is one cool bass! I've been tagging along and would like your permission to build one of my own. And, of course I will post the build here. Tedward

 

[TanglefooT1959]

Any updates yet JB?

 

[jbossolo]

Sorry, been out of the loop for a while. I'm in Puerto Rico vacationing! I'll post an update as soon as I get back.

And no permission necessary, bro! If this inspired you, I'm glad, go for it! I was inspired by Andy's build (Dark Horse), just changed a few things to "make it mine". Peace!

 

[TheCush]

Just stumbled across this thread. I really love your build. That is just plain cool.

 

[jbossolo]

Thx man, glad you like it. Bass should be completed in about 2 weeks. I'll update accordingly.

 

[jimmyjames]

[jbossolo]

And, she's done!

Scott's e-mail says it all, really:

I finished this morning. Check it out, it's Alive! It sounds good, plays good and it's gonna get lots of attention. Like I tell all the crate top buyers, everybody is going to want to touch your guitar.

Guess I'll have to wear my t-shirt that says: "You toucha da bass, I breaka u face!"

 

[Evil Undead]

Oh my god that's epic. You're a lucky man.

 

[PlungerModerno]

EPIC!

I'll post better pics once she gets here.

I really like how the crate "dovetail" blends into the lower horn cut on this one:

The "f hole" really makes the bass, I think:

Excuse me if I sound too excited about this baby, it's because I AM!!!

 

[scotch]

So epic. Great bass, man!

 

[Evil Undead]

So amazing. You've made me want one.

I'd have almost exactly the same but with maple board, split coil pickup, and contours instead of slab. No F hole.

 

[jbossolo]

Thx "scotch", if it sounds half as good as it looks, we have a winner!

"Evil", give Scott a call or drop him a line. He'll do it for you.

 

[Yerf Dog]

Awesomeness!
