New Bass Guitar Build

[sazdaman]

hey guys, it's been a while since I've been on here. Been working hard on this new Bass build. Want to throw this out there and show you the finished product. This is a 5 string fretless made from Zebra wood, Padouk, Sapele, Walnut, Maple and Ebony. It's got 6 coats of lacqure buffed to a shine and active/passive electronics. The sustain is incredible. Looking to enter this one into a woodworking competition and eventually sell it. Let me know what you all think, thanks for looking.

Steve,
Awesome work of art. My son is a base player and would love to have something like that.
Simply beautiful sir.

Thanks all. It was a challenging project due to the curved body. Nothing is flat making it very difficult to do ANYTHING! Appreciate all your comments.

The best I've had. The sustain is incredible!

I agree with everyone else - the bass is beautiful.
Your photo essay of the build is amazing. You've practically but a how-to manual. With an understanding of the work to complete each step one could build a similar instrument - probably no where near as pretty as yours!:icon_cheers
