Firewood Special

[Shambo]

Don't know if the forum's seen this before. Attempt at humour matches attempted luthiery.

I thought Georges Braque was dead.

Apparently not! This isn't the worst bass that I have seen and he is up front about how it has been made and isn't asking a ridiculous sum for it, either.

If only:
It had a maple neck/was a 5-er/was a couple of pounds lighter...I'd have it like a shot!

There's something very honest and almost endearing about that bass, so much so that I
can't help but like it.

It's rough, but it's functional, and priced sanely.

I just wish it was conventionally shaped. Not a fan of the angular look, but I like the construction and the overall aesthetic.

I like it, in its way. I'm not sure about the bridge though - is it on straight?

Yeah the bridge looks out of place. I think the neck could also be a bit more adventurous!
