What would you do if someone gave you total creative freedom?

OMG! What a build challenge *that* would be! Epic!

If I could figure out how to source big enough sections of bone to do a top I would *so* do that!

Maybe cow bones?

That's what I thought

I have found some horse scapula bones that come close to the sizes I need. Not to get off on a grisly tangent, but I think a bone top and inlaid vertebrae on the back *could* make for a very unique and interesting instrument.

Grisly Tangent, maybe they could open for Aggressive Rasp. Back to the topic at hand if you got a full rib cage from something large enough, using that for top and back inlays would be cool. I'll tell you one thing, if I got asked to play at a PETA benifit...

A rib cage is a GREAT idea! A pelvis would look wicked as well. Check Invalid Link Removed out - if I could find one large enough it would have "best bass for metal" written all over it.

If you cut that in half and did a neck through you could use that for the body wings of a flying v type bass, make a bone nut, and bone bridge with under saddle piezo and you're off to the races.

Don't tempt me....I have too many builds going at once as it is.

Use a headless design, put a skull at the head end...

The other night I broke a string, no spare, had to play with 3. Made me think outside the box so, I played one of my best gigs ever.

The spirit of rock lives on in you .

Starcaster styled body fully hollow, five string active with bartonilini humbuckers. Pushpull for the buckers, four individual pots two tone one master volume and one bass/ treble, and lastly an on off switch for the active preamp.

 

[JPkstms]

Love that body, pickups are great and.... It can get the lows out better than the real starcaster. A beautiful bass that howls and roars.
