Winter Build Off 2020 - Air Space

What would count as unfinished projects? I think the closest thing I have that qualifies is the leftovers from the 5 string I started nearly 20 years ago - I converted the neckthrough body into my son's headless 4 last year, but I have everything else from that "unfinished" project (pickups, tuners, bridge, fretboard) which I've been meaning to built myself a 5 string out of. Would that count?

Leftovers, incompletes, stalled, Frankensteins......I would say it's all in.
Would it be sacrilegious for me to say pedals are in as well here in the LC?

Man, I have so many random/stalled/abandoned/eff ups lying around, I could donate to folks without them!
(hopefully, that doesn't paint me in a bad light :bag:)

I'd also cast my vote for stringed projects at the very least. While I do love the "bass only" concept, due to our surroundings, I did just hack together a stalled guitar build and it turned out fun and pretty decent. So I'd be flexible on that.
The pedal builds, while entertaining, kind of fly in the face of the header of this sub forum.
BUT... incorporating a pedal build INTO a stringed instrument... I'm not opposed to that at all.
 
OK.....so we do a small scale build off (no pedals, just basses) of unfinished projects

I'm thinking of kicking this off after the voting is done.

Do we limit it to just builds that have been started here in LC, or do we open it any incomplete build?
I say any incomplete bass whether shown on LC or not.
