Gotta keep the vintage/modern thing going!
 
He is currently working on a twin to my bass except with a 34" scale. Same woods and design, built the same time alongside the "Stella". This should be available in the next month or so, he's working out a cost on it because he is currently out of the Hipshot hardware. I will have pics of the build in progress tomorrow.

Also, sorry about the portrait mode video, for some reason every time I changed it I was getting a weird glare from the window but I couldn't get good lighting any other way. I'll do another video tomorrow :D and maybe a sound clip.

I'm sure it sounds great! I have Dimarzio Model P/J's in one of my basses and they growl like nobody's business. WhT made you choose Model J's?

Make sure and share the link when it’s available.
 
is there a reason why the heel contour on the neck is far from the body?

contoured bodies with matching neck heels are becoming more common now. not just on ibanez anymore

ernie ball’s neck to body contour matching at the heel joint is exceptional lately

Hey everyone and thanks for the kind words on this custom bass I built for "Chazsundance" I'm currently building a 2nd one that is same woods etc. But standard 34" scale. Body isn't carved or routed for pups yet. I was considering doing an open pore solid color in satin and haven't decided on the color either. Price will be in the 2k range depending on electronics etc. I try and not get too crazy with going outside the box on designs and keep things simple and have a familiar feel but do like sexy lines and curves. I'm happy to answer any questions.

how hard is it to contour the body and neck heel to match at the joint?
