SwedishLuthier Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 This is the NorthStar 8-stringer Body Ash Neck laminated maple with graphite reinforcements Fretboard Rosewood Scale length 34" Pickups StarStruck LowRiders Tuners Kluson mini bass Tailpiece Wilkinson Controls Vol, Vol, Tone Frets Jumbo Fret markers Aluminum Finish Oil This is a bass with a heritage from both Rickenbacker and Hagström, hence the 8 strings in four choruses. The ash body and maple neck needed a rosewood fret board to tame the sound just so. To match the bare bone look of the oiled body vi decided to cast the pickups into molds with masters made from the same piece of ash that made the body. Played like a 4-string bass playability is much better that you might think. As a testimony the current owner plays it with both a pick and with his bare fingers! And the sound? Think Lemmy, it’s like being run over by a truck.

CrazyPaint.no Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 -IKKEENBACKER- Here's a bass I finished up not long ago. I call it IKKEENBACKER, that actually means "notabacker" in Norwegian (wich is my language) It's a replica of Lemmy Kilmister's Rickenbacker 4004LK. I have buildt it as close as i can to the specs of the original bass. When the original was made, it was built 60 pcs of them. The wood is Maple neck (through), and walnut wings. Rosewood fretboard. Rickenbacker PU's and electronic. Schaller hardware. Home made "checkered" binding. (it took some hours) Home made star inlays in the fretboard. Home made trussrod cover, with IKKEENBACKER "logo". And offcause hand carved body-wings. Two trussrods. Checkered binding, and wood-carving: Star inlays: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitone Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Hot Rod HiTone guitar For the last 5 years I've donated an handmade instrument to a local music festival that is auctioned off an the donations are given to charity. The other items in the auction are instruments that have been turned into art. So each year I have to stand out from the other items in the auction. This is what I came up with, a '50s hot rod inspired hollow body. Something that would look cool having Reverend Horton Heat playing it.

DC Ross Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I've been a member here for a quite a while, and finally decided to throw my hat in the ring. This is my DC-1 body style that I've been producing for a number of years. It was designed to be a very comfortable, ergonomic body that balances perfectly whether sitting or standing. The deep cutaways also allow the neck/pickups/bridge to be placed further back on the guitar, making for a shorter reach to the lower frets, as well as exceptional upper fret access. It features a bookmatched Sapele back and Maple top. The super-thin one piece neck is made from Lacewood with an Ebony heel and fretboard, and the frets are large stainless steel. The neck is finished in Tru-Oil, and the body in Target Coatings EM9000 (the jury is still out on that stuff). The top is dyed black with faux binding. As far as hardware, tuners are Sperzel, pickups are Seymour Duncan JB and 59, and the bridge is a Wilkinson/Gotoh wraparound. Some other notable things include the offset mother-of-pearl dots, brushed Mylar logo, and eased fingerboard edges for a very "played-in" feel. Here it is with it's happy owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
