Heh heh... 9 strings? 4 + 5 over 2 necks? or 3x3 on one? Guessing is fun!
I thought I had a plan, but now I'm not so sure. Well, there's still time to decide...
I dig that for a beginner like myself my lofty goals for this build would be simple to many. But it's awesome to be in the company of folks who have put in the time and effort, and put more time and effort into documenting the process so that others may quicken the learning process. For that I am supremely grateful to you all.
Welcome to the party! Glad to hear you're planning to jump in!
Both feet!! Deep end of the pool!!

So,
I'm developing wood based themes to go with the design I'll be doing
I'm thinking an Ash mash of 3 differnt kinds of Ash
I'm thinking a Ying/Yang kinda theme with Holly/Padauk Body (Yin) and Padauk/Holly neck (Yang)
I'm thinking mostly quilted Sapelle.
And now, back to your current programming

Not sure if it is even possible to do a mashup of a J Bass and a Warlock bass, but that's exactly what I already have in mind for this winter's session of smoking grass and drinking beer in my little no-electricity garage workshop!
It was only twice!Dammit. @rojo412 wins everything.
(And for the record, I was going to make a number of jokes about interference in the voting process, but I thought that may incur the ban hammer. So I'll just leave it at that
)On another topic, it seems that working with Ric designs is a rite of passage around here, and one which I've never done. So I'll just say that this mashup will include my first Ric bass related design elements.
Just don't mash in their build quality!It was only twice!

Aw c'mon now Ricky fans... just a joke.
A black helicopter just took off from Rickenbacker HQ.... RUN!Just don't mash in their build quality!

65 year old redwood from my Pops garage. It was siding up in Sacramento for all these years until he stuccoed the house. Saved all the boards that were savable. I think my top is hiding somewhere in this piece....
Totally unrelated to the buildoff...does anyone have the dimensions of the Mothman bass?
IIRC the body was 16" wide 21" long and 2" thick.Totally unrelated to the buildoff...does anyone have the dimensions of the Mothman bass?
Edit: I was wrong it is 21" wide,
