Annoying Twit Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 This is an interesting and (as far as I know) original looking bass. I've never heard of anyone using brass or another metal for fret markers. Is that common? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-bass-guitar-/271505544818?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3f36fdd672 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 That's really pretty & nicely designed. Most self-built basses tend to have body shapes that just look sort of "wrong", but that's a really attractive & considered design. Shame he stuck with a Fender headstock shape - but I'm inclined to think it's a factory neck that's been modified. I've seen fretless necks which have been defretted by filing the frets down to the tangs to leave metal inlays. More likely he removed the frets & inlaid brass strips though. Jon.
