what do yall think of this??

oo, I like. thats quite a good drawing too.

 

Hey, that's pretty cool. Are you going to try to go through with it? I think you should.

 

kind of a cross between a Fortress, a Dolphin and a Buzzard
quite cool

think u should get it done!
good luck

*Si*

 

Very interesting. Looks like it'll be a great looking bass. Stop drawing & & get some wood.

 

GO MAKE IT!
it looks awsome! Good luck with it!

 

i like the hook....

 

i like the shape of the headstock.

 

it's got a quasi-carl thompson like horn on it but a little more angled. it's kewl.

 

I've got some wood!

 

pretty cool...but i'll be impressed when you build it. i mean i have art skill but i couldn't build a wooden spoon. =D

 

very cool!

i went through a similar process a few months back, but due to buying a fretless, and a craving for a custom jazz(which is a way away)haven't got round to getting the wood.

whats the spec for it:
scale
neck laminates
body wood

etc

one bit of advice i could give, and this is negligable between builders.,, is to say that you may want to try and keep the strings running straight over the nut towards the tuners.

i know it's only on the drawing board, but after talking to many builders they all recommended that i do it that way.

its true to say that builders such as smith, have designs that command that the strings are angled from the nut to the tuners, but for tuning stablility and your firts bass, i'd reccomend keeping the strings in a straight line from the bridge to the tuners.

write down those woods you plan on using for it (I know you got 'em all figured out ), the electronics, and email Dave Pushic @ DPcustom.com and get a price quote.

 

Try shouting-up Rickbass1 (tell him Rockin sent ya!!)

Rick's been down this road and he's got a web site with loads of neat pics on it. OK he's having it built by a luthier but he's clearly got plenty of knowledge in this area.

Wow, I usually don't like anything with points (i.e. my obsession with Warwicks line), but I would def. own a bass like this. I see it as a fretless 5 (18mm spacing) with 2 bart jazz and some piezo's. I'd love to see what this bass looks like if you ever get around to it.

 

It looks very cool! You may even want to give Chris Stambaugh or the Luthiers' Access Group a shout. They could both probably give you a pretty good idea of what it would take to build it. Links below ...

I'd buy one ...

 

Cool design, I just ordered a custom a couple of weeks ago that shoul be unbeilievable when it gets done. Know what you want I mean down to the last detail and dont expect a luthier to be a mind reader, if you see it then say it. Good luck

 

Very cool. I like the body shape. The top horn reminds me of a David King D bass:
