Sound Clips: The bass is ran straight into the interface with no EQ or effects added. The clips go through the different pickups to show the sound variations. http://redeemerbasses.com/downloads/Danny&...0Soundclips.mp3

The owner also has a video posted here but unless you speak spanish you will have a hard time following it.

Here are the specs;

One Piece chambered Honduras mahogany body / with bookmatched flame maple top.

One piece Honudras mahogany neck.

TV Jones Hot Filtertron pups with custom made bezels

Custom made stainless steel bridge and tail piece.

This instrument combines all the features I like from traditional instruments, while being a new design with traditional roots.

This particular one was on the road with the band Buck Cherry for the first leg of their tour.

Here is a picture with the girls...........sorry they are not included. ;-)

Name: Build #2.

So called because it's my second self-build guitar, so no points for imagination. I made this one on the Bailey 5 day course (linked in my blog) earlier this year.

Materials: Mahogany body & neck, with an Amazique top and Ebony fingerboard. Amazique veneer on the headstock. It's a heavy beastie!

PickUps: IronGear P90 at the neck and IronGear JailHouse Rails in the middle & bridge positions. The JailHouse Rails are both single-coil sized Humbuckers, and are coil-tapped via a push/pull tone control. Standard 5-way selector switch.

Finish: Simple clear laquer. Limited to what can be achieved within the 5 days, and I didn't want to hide any of the beauty of the top!

Sounds: As you'd expect from a HB-loaded mahogany bodied heavy guitar ... plenty of thick, powerful, grunty sounds, lots of sustain. But switch in the P90 for some sharper sounds, or coil tap the middle/bridge p'ups for much cleaner, sharper, attack.

For more pics and narrative of the guitar taking shape over the 5 days, see the link to "Bailey Build Blog 2008" on my guitar-building blog. You'll also see pics of Build #1 (from 2007) on there too.

I'm just starting out with this hobby, and am keen to learn, learn, and then learn some more. So any and all comments, observations and criticisms are more than welcome.
