Bass-ic Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 It's very experimental. This is the first time I've tried to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass-ic Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Is the shape wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverinebass Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think that bass looks magnificent. Dare I ask for what it's specs are and what the damage was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Looks kind of like a Mo clifton: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/13304-mo-clifton-basses/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It also reminds me of the GB Rumour with its posterior contours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look and decided that i could give it a go. I should make clear that although I have done a fair amount on this bass I did not either make the electronic bits or hardware (does anyone else go that far?) and I did not make the neck.[/i] [i]the kit cost £149.00[/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has taken me about 6 days in total to do the work, with sanding taking the most time. It hangs fine standing up and it sits perfectly on me. it might be a bit heavy but I dont mind. Overall the kit was a good way to start and the only thing about it was that I wanted something a bit more individual so binned the original. i did however use it as a template as i wanted to make sure that the geometry of the bridge and pickups was correct. I did however, move the front pick up slightly. There are one or two problems, one is that Im having difficulty tracking down a B500K log potentiometer and there is a slight buzz somewhere, which I think I've found. I have no idea what it will sound like but am looking forward to hearing it for the first time soon! Cheers.
