Number 1 was started first, but #2 got finished first! I built this for a friend at work, who's a lefty and complained that he couldn't find left handed basses in stores. He saw what I was doing on #1 and commissioned me to make him one. Details: 4-string chambered body neck through fretted bass. Neck: Maple-walnut-maple Fingerboard: Ebanol, fretted 34-inch scale Body: Maple-spanish cedar-zebrawood veneer sandwich Finish: Birchwood-Casey sealer & Tru-Oil Bridge & tuning machines: Wilkinson Pickup: Mighty Mite humbucking Electronics: Offshore preamp, volume/bass/treble controls Knobs: Walnut plugs with zebrawood veneer A slide show of the build process can be seen here: http://s535.photobucket.com/albums/e...view=slideshow Let me know what you think!

Wow, that looks really cool. I think this bass with a pair of Darkstar pickups would be stunning. |

Looks very good! But that bridge looks like it went straight out of the box and onto the bass without any adjustment. Is that really intonated properly? It looks so... righthanded! |
