My latest DIY bass

[blablas]

My first post on LeftyBassist.

De afwerking mk3-5.

35 Inch scale with Bartolini X5 pickups and Glockenklang 3 band preamp.

Only missing the truss rod cover, will be made this week.

A few detail shots.

[Stingray5]

wow very nice, and unique!

any neck dive with the short upper horn?

[blablas]

None, even though the body appears to be a hollow-body, it is chambered and heavy enough to prevent neck dive.

Very nice looking bass! Welcome to the forum....

[fivebass52]

I just noticed you mention DIY in your title... did you make this yourself? Did it come as a kit?

[blablas]

Build and designed it myself.

[Matt R.]

Nice job

[fivebass52]

Nice job

Indeed! Do you have any sound clips of it?

[blablas]

No, and I don´t have the means to make some at the moment.

The finishing touch, the truss rod cover is done and in place.


And a few more shots.

All I can say is WOW! You have some serious skills, and obviously enough of the right tools/machines to produce this beautiful bass. Very impressive....

[PunkRockBassist]

Sweet! you got sick skills man

[Frenchy-Lefty]

Awesome! and welcome to the board man!

[AzWhoFan]

a big +1 on the sick skills!!!! Very very nice indeed

[thumbslam]

Awesome work that neck looks killer.

[amimbari]

very pretty use of the multi woods

[blablas]

The next one is finished.

[fivebass52]

Beautiful!

[AzWhoFan]

love those fanned frets, and the carving job where the neck meets the body

[pjmuck]

Your DIYs are crazy good.

I've always been curious about fanned fretboards. Anyone played one? Are they difficult to get used to?

[fivebass52]

The only thing I see wrong with this bass is..... it's not mine! Again, a stellar job of designing and building a beautiful bass! Any chance of some sound clips of your basses? Would love to hear how they sound...
