I've been making some pictures this afternoon of my twins for a topic over on BassChat, I might as well spam them here to.
My twins.
are you a luthier by any chance? I loove that one on the right
how much would one set me back? 
Nope, I'm not a luthier, all this building I'm doing is just a way to pass the time and have fun with some blocks of wood.
I only build for my personal pleasure, when I start building for other people it will probably lose it's appeal as a hobby and start to feel like work, that's something I'm just not prepared to do.
I've got a nice job that pays the bills, I don't have the need to make some extra money with building bass guitars.

The four horsemen of basspocalypse
4 Horsemen of the Fenderpocalypse!
Here's 2 of my 3 basses (the third being a Squier Mustang Badtz Maru).
The white one is my main bass, a Blade B3 from early nineties, made in Japan.
The red one is a Tokai Hardpuncher ltd. ed. from early eighties, made in Japan.

1987 Fender '62 Reissue Jazz, surf green:

The Precision is going to remain bone stock as it should. The Jazz is wearing a NOS pickguard, has a Fathead plate on the headstock, a Hipshot detuner, and now a Roland MIDI setup that's not pictured. It's my main player.
