DarkHeart Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Right, this isn`t so much of a build diary as an already built-ish diary, to cut a long story short, I had a Westone Quantum that had a very tired body that had been painted and various pups routed in and out. I decided to re-home the neck and electrics in a new v shaped body which is where bassdoc comes in, Howard sourced the wood and cut out the main body but due to health issues was unable to finish the routing so he passed it to a joiner friend of his, anyway, I now have a one off solid walnut headless flying v that looks and plays quite outstanding imho there are build pics and built up pics but no finished pics.....yet! I`ve already gigged it in its unfinished state and loved it, it`s about 6-8 inches shorter than a normal bass so fits in those bijou and compact spaces we call stages! It`s currently in its finishing oil stage so will be rebuilt later this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) Is that bridge from the Westone Quantum? More compact than the usual Steinberger copies... Now all I need to do is find one at "spares money". Edit: Just Google imaged it. Two different versions, one with the Westone logo, the other without. ...and single ball strings?

DarkHeart Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 It is a genuine Westone bridge, minus the screw on cover, the front bridge with the saddles is a no name affair off ebay that I needed when I bought the wreck of a Quantum, it was missing a LOT of bits.

DarkHeart Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 Double ball strings, made this part of it myself as it had been removed when I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
