After your description, I was expecting your bass to look far cruder... nice build! I like the body style, and overall, it has a great cool factor... well done...

Hello, here are pics from a bass that I built this year totally from scratch: http://www.flickr.com/photos/22696387@N ... 787465432/ It's my first bass, that I build on my own. Only the sliced fingerboard, the trussrod and the pickup was bought as it is. The rest was build by myself. Even the bridge headless-tuners. And I used only rudimentary powertools (jig saw and drill) and simple tools (rasp, saw,sandpaper). Unless some expect: no cnc, no router. Just manpower. Facts: Maple Neck Through Alder Body Wings Weight: 2.5 kg Scale: 78 cm or 30.7" plays great, sounds great. ps: A bit more detailed explanaition in german: http://www.bassic.ch/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14812855 |

Thanks a lot. The body style is my own design. Of course inspired by other designs, by not a copy of a particular bass. I ever thought, if I would build my own bass, then I make something unique that you can't buy. Never underestimate the power of a rasp and sandpaper combined with enough time and patience.
