Really cool looking bass. I just couldnt live with the crude p pickup route tho. Everything else looks great and that route looks rubbish, especially with the clear scratch plate.

I dunno, I don't see a bass "made out of 12 skateboards". I just see a solid ash body and a regular maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. The only bits that formerly were skateboard are used as a thin top that won't do a whole lot to the tone of the bass ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Looks cool though, but I agree with @Crawford13: with a clear pickguard, that routing looks like cr@p. I would have opted for a rear-routed body without a pickguard, or with the see-through pickguard with recessed knobs like Atelier Z frequently uses:

If you like things built out of old skateboards, check out Woby Design on You Tube.  Until very recently he operated out of a shipping container in Los Angeles.  He makes some wonderful stuff.
