Bass builds update 11

Wheee! I build more basses! And I destroy basses! after all the hard work of fixing all my mistakes, I finally broke down and tore it up and fixed all the mistakes in one big go. There's a huge slab of purpleheart running through my EB now. Yay. Almost done at this point! Almost!

Bass build update 10

Holy transformations Batman!
I ended a relationshop (not a typo).
I moved to Montreal.
I have bought power tools.
I begin anew the guitar building.

Right-handed tele special for DvR. one-piece ash body, humbucker in the neck position. custom wound pickups, custom control plate. I'll get the details from DvR soon and post them. Warmoth neck, 50's fat neck profile. Looks like it'll get a treatment of hard-core red before a nice polyurethane high-gloss finish. It's almost done.
Lefty SG-style bass for me. Coming together now. Should be completed sooner rather than later. May change bridge type.
Right-handed custom tele-bass for SvR. Hollowed out hardbody, 2-piece laminate black korina with shedua book-matched top and custom ebony skunk stripe down the front. Custom f-hole and all custom hardware. Boy is it purrrrrdy.
Next build: For me, lefty bass of some sort. Bolt-on. Black korina body. Can't decide on body shape. Either T-Bird or Mockingbird.
