Rickenbird!!
I dont have the skills to try something like this and when I saw the drawing posted nu @wraub it just clicked into my head. I guess I was hoping to inspire that build of a RickenBird/ThunderBacher. Lol
This is very true, take a Pic neck and put it on a Birds body. Going deeper though, if Ric had made a Thunderbird how would the body look. Pretty sassy says I.
OK, this was bugging me
Here I have the upper bout of a Ric bass, and a lower bout of a NR Firebird

Two months from today. Two months! The anticipation is killing me - this will be the longest two months ever!
Yesterday I started on my templates. Still need to do some trigonometry, and build a jig or two, but how on earth will I fill up the remaining 58 days??

Yeah, I agree
I'm on a drawing kick this morning.....How about a reversed Mosrite with a little tweek to the upper horn. Probably replace the lower horn with a trimmer Strat horn
Seems so.
I was actually thinking the same thing. In messing around with this, I discovered that the top horn on the design here is nearly identical to a Strat upper horn. I put in a Strat lower horn back a bit, and viola! Center line isnt quite in the right place, but that can easily be moved. Looks like I might be putting that one into CAD.
What if you brought the lower horn straight down a little bit? Maybe a little down and back??Seems so.

I'm just going to put these here for a minute...
Relay coil single string pickups and mothman... you're either a madman or a genius
