Winter Build Off 2020 - Air Space

[Jon Clegg]

You ALL stand an equal chance in my book..............

Equal opportunity drooler.

Honestly, with the creativity and talent in this forum, I think even that could be exciting. Bear with me for a minute here and imagine if we had a build off with only two constraints: 1) must be black, 2) must have a p-bass pickup - everything else up for grabs! I bet we would get some pretty awesome stuff.

One theme I am going to suggest is a Free For All....No theme ....just gimme your best shot so to speak. This has pros and cons

Ok that sounds like it would be fun, and as an added bonus make it so it wasn't just the prettiest wood wins. And it would give me an excuse to experiment with Black 3.0

How about best bass involving metal - any and all interpretations of metal are fair game.

That same idea ran through my head too, it could go a million ways.

Did I miss something or are you folks already discussing themes for the next build-off?

I kinda feel like that started before this build-off was really started.

Yeah, we're crazy like that

 

[BishopJP]

Wow, no time wasted here!

Not sure if it has been done here before, but, any interest in a reclaimed/recycled/repurposed theme?

Like, "this bass is constructed from my great-great-grandmother's rocking chair" or some such?

Totally not suggesting it because I have dozens of feet of reclaimed cedar beams that I want to build a bass out of...

Yeah,

And tomorrow @Fat Freddy will be talking about some cookies Alice made
Edit: Why do you thing he so much.

 

[TerribleTim68]

With the current pandemic, I think we need to find ways to control @Fat Freddy 's drool.

I volunteer to build my next bass out of @BishopJP 's reclaimed cedar beams

 

[TerribleTim68]

I could use a couple of those reclaimed cedar beams to build a new fireplace mantle!
