purpleblob Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I'm full of admiration and jealousy for anyone capable of building such an instrument and it's lovely to see people come up with different designs. A friend of mine built himself a guitar (including the neck and if I remember incorporated a midi bridge an internal switching for an Axon controller) which was quite amazing too see in it's various stages. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job.[/quote] totally agree, would love to make my own but can't even setup a bass so not much chance of making a hagguy original. this one looks great nice and original aswell but not in your face or over the top. hope your hard work pays off and it serves you well btw the emg's will grow on you great pickups in basses or guitars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete1967 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Anyone who can actually build a bass from scratch is clearly a genius - I have trouble just playing the damn thing. Like the shape looks like it balances well, and slightly reminiscent of a Carl Thompson and that can't be a bad thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
