elynnia Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Hiyas, I'm a hobby bassist, and kinda interested in making my own instrument... and while looking up the history of the electric bass, I found an article on the -first ever- electric bass, which is here: http://www.vguitar.com/brands/details.asp?ID=48 I am thinking that making a replica of this would be a good project, were it not for one problem: There is virtually NO INFORMATION on the construction of this instrument. This is - things like, if it were painted, what kind of pickups were used, the scale length etc. This isn't going to be a full project - I'll be using pre-made bits (necks, tuners, bridge etc) and due to cost restraints some of the parts would be replaced with modern equivalents - but I'm still interested in trying to make it as original as possible. Apparently it lives now in Seattle, USA - could anyone offer anymore info? Thanks, elynnia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
