View attachment 2769104 and here we have my full electric collection, epiphone flying V, epiphone explorer, epiphone thunderbird classic pro , and a home made fuel can bass.
Nice Epis! But the one I would want to hear most is the gas can...that looks like a bass that could make or break the ongoing argument over the importance of tonewood.

It's got a pretty funky sound to it for sure. There's a cedar block running through the middle to support the string tension and a maple slab at the end where the bottom was cut out to put everything inside, plus some various shims made from scraps of whatever I had lying around. It's in for a set up right now but I'll throw a clip of it on YouTube or instagram when it's back.
 
From left to right:Ibanez GSR205, B.C.Rich Warlock one, Ibanez TR-???(not sure which number it was my first), Stagg BC300-5, Sterling SUB5 Stingray. On the small chest lies a Höfner shorty and the remains of a 5-string Rok Axe "warlock thumb"-clone of which i'll be using parts to make a ss semi hollowbody "mephisto king ov hell" knock off. The SUB5 and the shorty are the only basses i've ever bought completely new.
