Where's the BEEF??

[blankstare77]

Lots of beauties here, really enjoyed looking through this thread guys. You all rock!

Here's mine. Second bass for me and more design lessons learned.

Maple may be bright, but if you make it very thin and light weight with a 33-1/4" scale the brightness dies down a LOT.

Did you make that from SCRATCH?

I was going to make it from scratch right up until the last minute when I decided to use maple instead *rimshot*

But seriously yeah, I played with the design off and on for over a year until it hit me right and inspired me to build. Thanks!


I like to check stuff out for fit and appearance while in progress:

I adore that body... but i prefer more Ibanez/Dean shaped headstocks... but hey, to each his own!

that looks like a headstock you could safely hit a cymbal with! You know... when the drummer forgets stuff, just help him out when you can...

I speak this from EXPERIENCE!!!

I have most of the body done. Bout to start on the neck once I get a piece of purpleheart.

I think this thread should go to the TalkBass Builders Showcase.

It's an amazing thread.

Awesome work man. I'm using the same strings on my next two builds. Crappy picture, but they're both near completion.
