Bassassin Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120569468799"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=120569468799[/url] Home-made bass that looks like it's been hewn from a single big lump of mahogany (apart from a scarf-jointed headstock), lots of genuine skill, care & attention has gone into shaping & sculpting this & it's actually a very striking-looking object. Which makes it such a shame that its creator has evidently never seen an actual bass guitar & has presumably put this together from a box of random P copy bits, using a rough pencil-sketch as a guide. This'll never work! Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richrips Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Damnit.... thought this was my little secret. I keep looking at it and wondering if the neck and body are lined up right..... maybe that in itself is a reason to bid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richrips Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 looks like dimarzio, though it doesn't look like the most optimal arrangement for the magnetic fields.... at least that leaves plenty of room to say... install a willpower neck pickup, and maybe 2 MM humbuckers..... all that mahogany is making my router hand twitch.

Ou7shined Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Could be a candidate for a 2 stringer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 [quote name='Johnston' post='838047' date='May 15 2010, 12:05 PM']Are they Dimazrios with the hex pole pieces???[/quote] Probably, but not always. You get Schallers that look exactly the same, as do some of the late 70s/early 80s Jap P pups. Me, I'm none too convinced it would be harmonically correct, even if you could get more than two strings not hanging over the edges of the board - the frets don't exactly look parallel! J.

Mr. Foxen Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Love the fact he could have reassembled the tuners to be correct, but chose not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
