Violin Bass

[leehutch]

Hi

I am about to start building my first bass and decided to go with a Hofner Violin bass shape but as a solid body, if it goes well might even consider the hollowbody one next, just wondering if anyone has built anything like this before??

 

[leehutch]

that will be a no then?

 

[Nomad98]

Yes... They have been built before and they have been built here before. Just can't remember the guys name? Ugh, too early in the morning for me to think. Oooh, Bud LeCompte builds um!

Yes, it's been done... quoted from the message above your last one:

Well, is anything really easy here? Yes?

I did a TB search for Bud LeCompte (TB user: "budman") and came up with a million links? Either way...
