From left to right, Rogue LX406, Squier/Saga franken P, behind it is a Squier VMJ fretless, a Schecter Stiletto deluxe, Fender Classic 60s Jazz, a Fender Sting P, behind it is a Fender Standard Jazz, beside it is a Squier MIK P(found in dumpster), a OLP Stingray, beside it is a Epiphone Thunderbird. I have 4 more under the couch that are in pieces. I may not have nice basses, or a gorgeous Ric like Mephistofel, but I'm proud of my collection of crap.

That's pretty nice "crap".

Really?

Yes. Really.

Jazz and P-Basses a Stingray, a T-Bird and a few more....not bad.

A Ric should join them soon, my self built knock off. All I have to so is find all the parts for it. And, thanks.

Dig the hell outta that!

 

[amimbari]

wow I also love that "bel-air" bass !!!!!

look at that HUGE body...how much does that thing weigh?

 

[Dark Horse]

Thanks guys !




Amimbari - It's not real heavy at all. It's primarily pine, which is light weight to start with...plus it is a semi-hollowbody - I removed a bunch of wood. Basically I used a Forstner bit to "swiss cheese" any areas that weren't integral to the stability of the bass. The plastic doesn't weight much at all either. I'll get a weight tomorrow up at Bass Emporium, but I'm gonna guess that it is 9 tp 9.5 lbs or so...just a guess though.

 

[amimbari]

10lbs is not heavy, for me that's "just right"

great job on the thing... I love to see one-of-a-kind creations.

I have to be really conscious of weight. I broke my neck, so if I play a heavy bass for too long it gives me neck/shoulder pain that leads to migraines.

The key for me is making it reasonably light, but still balanced.

Thanks man - I appreciate it !
