I need some ideas

[tommorichards]

Ive got these two pickups which i think will work well together. Ones from a hohner headless, and the other NOS marauder pickup. So i want to make a bass for them, but i dont know what kinda shape to do.

Anyone got any ideas? Here are the pickups in question.

This is the first time I've encountered someone wanting to build a bass around a set of pups, excellent.

I would go solid body with symmetrical double cutaways and a 2+2 headstock.

See-through perspex, Jaguar shaped, body. Sea foam green Musicman pickguard. Graphite neck. Active 3-band electronics with sweepable mids. Sorted !

almost this but make the perspex hollow like a bottle/tank and fill it with glittery liquid or small plastic goldfish!

Goldfish, real ones, with a small watertight door, for replacement/feeding.

Reminds me of some footage of the Who from a TV show where Keith Moon was playing a clear perspex kit and one of the floor toms was full of water with goldfish swimming in it. When the host commented on it querying wether it was cruel, Keith Moon responded with the classic "Nonsense. Goldfish love rock and roll!"
