shinhoman Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi, i've been photoshopping into the early hours and came up with a bass design. i was wondering if people could discuss it and tell me what they like and dislike about it? I wanted it to look different but still have that fender-ish feel to it. I have made two versions, one bolt-on and one neck through. so what do you think?

Eight Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I think you met your objectives - top one looks Fendery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bass Doc Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Top one - not sure about the scratchplate shape. Could you try a version whereby the plate travels further up the top horn(towards '51 style P-bass) and have it wrap round the P-bass pickup leaving the MM type 'in the wood'. Might not work - just a thought - I'm no good at graphics of the photoshop kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I’d lose the P style pickups and stick with a single humbucker, purely on aesthetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW the specs are gonna be: Maple neck multi lam on both deisgns (possible with a walnut strip for the centre piece) Ash body Passive Controls: Two volumes and master tone with either four or five way switch. 21 fret neck Cheers Edited May 28, 2009 by shinhoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
