  1. Thanks! The wave inlay is actually a rip off too. I was inspired by Canuck Brian and Metal Matt.
  2. Looks good so far. I'd like it better if it was a flying-v modification, but that's just me. Good luck with it.
  3. Yeah, they look cool and as the bass is fretless there's no need to worry about the intonation that much. Hehe, me neither. But thanks anyway.
  4. This is coming along very nicely! What was that fretboard again?
  5. Cool! As this is my first project it won't probably be so fast either. My goal is to have it finished by summer, but we'll see.
  6. Just thrown in. String spacing will be 18mm or less. Idea for the bridge is actually stolen from AV-Bass. This guy builds awesome basses, check him out. AV Basses
  7. Hi! I'm starting my first build from scratch. It's going to be a 5 string fretless and here's the woods I'm using. In the background there's african mahogany and bubinga and in the front wenge and castello. Some specs: scale: 35" body: mahogany back / bubinga top neck: wenge fingerboard: castello pickup: hopefully home-made bridge: hopefully home-made too (from wenge) The look I'm going for is something like this. The pic is just a quick mock-up so everything is just thrown in to show how it looks like. I'm going to dye the castello fretboard black and probably do a faux binding and the wave-inlay. And because the bubinga and mahogany are pretty much the same color I thought I'd dye the bubinga red to make it stand out better. Probably a faux binding in the joint also. So, what do you think? Cheers, Timi
  8. Yeah, I noticed this too. Here the price has doubled!
  9. Dang, that's beautiful! I wanna know the final budjet! Can't be under 200$!
  10. Wow, very cool and unique finish! Congrats!
  11. Cool Mockingbird, any pics of that?

  12. Looks a lot like this Ran: http://www.ranguitars.com/imi/katalog/d06.jpg
  13. The neck joint looks cool. Any pics from the front?
  14. I'm really looking forward to see this finished! Great job with the 8-stringer. About the design.. I think that the "theme" of the lower horn should cover the whole body.. If you know what I mean. Some wicked cut outs like in this one: Good luck with it.
  15. Looks great Mike! I like the desing, the woods and how the waves match at the end of the fretboard and bottom of the body. This is going to be a killer!
  16. Apart from the painted headstock back it looks killer! That pickguard idea is great!
