Winter Build Off 2023 - Let Your Nerd Flag Fly

[TFM94]

I'm in for two builds, because I'm starting late and still need to finish my workshop and various other projects, so I apparently need to make it harder for myself.

My bass scratch build entry: Not Worthy of the Nerdy
My non-bass scratch build entry: Have You Seen My Argyle?

I'm happy to have some competition in the non-bass category. Best of luck with your builds!

Not one, but 2 LAB builds!

Although this is still the Bass Guitar side of TB, at least three builds have now been entered here where the resulting bass will be bowed. Crawforde's Underhill Upright, Lisa's Not Worthy of the Nerdy, and my Certandan Deep Strings. What's going on?

Not sure, but I'm looking forward to seeing theirs!

I've been using a bow in my band for like the past 5 years, it adds a cool element to the clean parts in our music.

You too! Can't wait to see how yours turns out.

Not one, but 2 LAB builds!

We shall see if either of them get finished on time.

@Beej, I noticed that the link to "Drop it while it's hot" is linked twice in the first post, I think there's a mistake.

Fixed it - thank you kindly.

Thank you, I knew there was one missing somehow. Edited the first post and put you in chronological order.

I'm doing a pair of similar-ish scratch builds based on my current DnD PCs.

A 2 string, ultra long scale, ultra low tuned bass

Sweet, nice to have more.

Please forgive me, but I'm on the beach in Ixtapa for another week and a half, so it might take me a titch to get the thread updated with entries.

There are some fantastic designs in this WBO - what imaginations!
