I'm totally looking forward to it! But then again, I'm also not participating.Am I the only one looking forward to it?

I am prone to biting off more than I can chew.

You should totally try a neck-thru multi-scale 5 string as your first build.
I mostly build what I have the chops to actually play. So I will be building a 2-string short-scale bass with 8 frets...
Too many jokes...
Most of which flirt with the boundaries of good taste, or at least the TOS.
I resemble this remark, but am not able to participate this time around. Maybe if there's a SBO I will.
Is that a bad idea?You should totally try a neck-thru multi-scale 5 string as your first build.
OK, might be best to drop the MS idea. I'll just add another string.I mean, I wouldn't advise it. But it didn't stop me!
Mult-scale is much easier if you go fretless
Everything's easier if you don't fret!
Yes. It's a body blank regardless of whether it's one piece, two piece, or (like mine) five piece.Woulda 2 piece Body blank still count for scratch build, if i've already glued it together?
Are you carving the neck from scratch and did you do any shaping on the body blank yet?Woulda 2 piece Body blank still count for scratch build, if i've already glued it together?
