Very nice looking crazy wood basses.

I'm not a big thread club joiner but I'm a big fan of Brady and his work. Here's my Bernal.

and the build thread…

Beautiful bass ebonalley!

I am thinking of making one of my next Mucks a Bernal.

You can have number 8 then.

Almost a full fledged member.

 

[JeffLieby]

That is going to be beautiful, especially when the oil hits that top.

Got my first Muckelroy bass yesterday. Fantastic! Everything about it. If anyone is interested in a med scale 5 string look no further. Super lightweight, plenty of sustain and sounds huge.

Congrats and welcome to the club!

I've got Muck #2 on order! Can't wait!

Cheers,
Jim

Looks like the pickups were inset into a pillow

It's amazing Muckelroy uses his own preamps. How many builders can say that?

 

[JeffLieby]

It is a fantastic sounding pre too! Flat and true when flat, and unbelievably powerful with very musical and well thought out EQ points when engaged.

Muck #2/ raffle bass is moving along!

 

[jmceachern36]

Cool! Is that another 32 inch scale? What kind of fretboard is that?

 

[3rdcurve]

Yessir, 32" scale. Bolivian rosewood fretboard, maple neck, Swamp Ash HMC body w/matching headstock.

Here is a pic of my 4 string from NAMM. This thing plays so nice and has a nice growl to it. I'm still such a bass NEWB but I rest easy knowing I have a ridiculously good instrument in my hands.

Looks beautiful too! What are the woods?
