  1. Prostheta: I only did the EQ section this build including the bright switch, I may go back and do the dynamics (expansion/compression) later, It will require more routing/making a new control cover but would be a worthwhile project. I'm looking at doing a PCB layout for standard components which should still make it smaller than the original layout primarily by using 1/8 watt resistors and radial mounts for the electrolytic capacitors. Demonx: Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
  2. Independent Hill Guitars Proto Bass This is my first scratch build Original(ish) body design Birdseye Maple and Curly Walnut body Inlays of African Black Wood, Red Oak and Padauk. The pickups are active pickups from the Gibson 20/20 Bass Pickup rings hand-made from Padauk. Carvin Neck Ebony fretboard 34" Scale Gold Gotoh bridge Gold Gotoh Compact Bass Tuners Gold football jack plate Bridge and Neck pickup volume controls Onboard active EQ based on the RD Artist Bass, Bass and Treble controls, Push-Pull switch on Bridge volume control activates 'Lead EQ' Wood control cover Tru-Oil finish This bass was inspired by scoring the first pickup off of e-bay; the seller didn't really describe it beyond "Gibson Bass Pickup"; when I got it I discovered it was an active pickup -- too good for my old EB-0 clone. So I got another and decided to build a bass around these pickups. The body design is sort of a fusion of the RD and Non-Reverse Firebird, I put the pickups in the same locations as the RD bass. The odd three point mounts on the pickups required a pair of custom rings that I made out of Padauk. I decided to complete the RD theme by replicating the EQ section of the RD Artist bass. I managed to build that on perf-board and fit it into the control cavity. Next time I'll get brave and build my own neck!
