UGLIEST Frankenbass Ever ! (todays project)

[Dark Horse]

Perhaps a model number?

I'd suggest MDB70 BASS or some such, but it's up to you...


Tell me what you want and I can draw it up (I'm that good)!





EDIT: The reason the font is "Fender-ish" is because it's the same font that was used by Hondo and Tokai to make their "Fender-ish" logos!

Thanks - I'm still trying to figure out what to call it. I'll let you know when I do though !

Got an SX Jazz body and Rosewood fretboard, fretless neck, the body is black/matching head. Silver tort pg with P pup and Gotoh bridge. Would like a celver name in Fenderesque font but I lack the creativity to think of one (and make it). Dark Horse, can I take any suggestions you don't want?

Definitely !

Oh...and post some pics !

It's on the left without a bridge or strings. They're on it now and it plays great. My next project is modding a 95 MIM Squier Series Strat.

Nice...that's a great looking bass ! Hopefully someone can help you name it.

Looking forward to seeing your next project when you get it done...

Funny, I was thinking of doing the exact same thing with a Douglas Pisces on Rondo, and an old pearloid blocked SX neck I have. Thanks for the final push over the inspiration-ledge. I'll prolly order that beastie today.

I had to jump over to Rondo's site to look at that. Going with Black on black? Now you got me thinking. Any one got an SX Pirate body they want to get rid of?

Funny, I wanted a pirate body too. something about that black over unfilled grain look is striking!

I'm not typically a fan of white pickguards anywhere, but it's perfect on yours. I can dig it.

Post a "build thread" when the parts arrive!

I'm kind of the same way - but on this bass I like it.

You could the do word "frankenbass" in fender-like script on the headstock.....

I thought about that, but it has been done SO many times. I want to do something different.

Frankenbass is over used.

Cool, a Geddy Dirnt Signature Model.

I like the name: Dirnt Lee Bass
