First completed build: Monty's lefty
Posted: January 20th, 2009, 12:41 pm
Number 1 was started first, but #2 got finished first!
I built this for a friend at work, who's a lefty and complained that he couldn't find left handed basses in stores. He saw what I was doing on #1 and commissioned me to make him one.
Details: 4-string chambered body neck through fretted bass.
Neck: Maple-walnut-maple
Fingerboard: Ebanol, fretted 34-inch scale
Body: Maple-spanish cedar-zebrawood veneer sandwich
Finish: Birchwood-Casey sealer & Tru-Oil
Bridge & tuning machines: Wilkinson
Pickup: Mighty Mite humbucking
Electronics: Offshore preamp, volume/bass/treble controls
Knobs: Walnut plugs with zebrawood veneer
