popped up in my youTube feed, apologies if you already know of the builder, thought it might be of interest to some, despite the (don't mention the B word) issue

 

I'd quite like something similar in 4 string, might put one together from parts I have assembled in last few years, when I get time

 

sorry I still don't seem to be able to embed YT vids

I really like the overall design, and it seems like the neck is more narrow than usually found on 5 string basses too, which is a plus to me, however that seems to lead to the problem of the 2 outer strings being concerningly close to the edge of the fretboard, as far as I can tell, closer then I would be comfortable with, also I would probably tune it E to C, like the 5 upper strings of a 6 string bass.

Built for and with the player, out of mostly local materials, in a not quite a Fender but with a nod to style, which many will appreciate, like Novo guitars.

 

You have your Jabba bass, we all know you don't need anything else
