The builder who makes basses with big cutouts

[tommorichards]

Im trying to remember the site/ guy who builds them. They are basses with large cutouts to make it look almost skeletal, but google searching hasnt turned up anything yet. Anyone know what im on about?

Not these. They are a bit extreme.

A bit like the top one, but a few more cutouts, but not as curvy.

The bottom one is closer, but made from wood, and isnt just one big cutout, but smaller sectioned cutouts.


I think they were by a guy who wanted lighter basses, but looks compromise etc.....

Nothing that extreme. The basses are from wood.

Just like this, but with less cutouts...

Looks like its been inspired by Russ Ballard's famous 1970's 'Holy Strat'

The hole theme is incorrect. The cutouts followed the bodys profile.

I think the bass he was working on at the time was jag shaped....
