Very cool! I like your bass very much. Got a sound clip?  Peace,  Richard

Sorry Richard, no sound clip (I don't really know how to post one) It sounds more like my full sized accoustic/electric bass run through a amp than it does a straight electric bass.

Looks great inside and out. I've just finished collecting the bits for my first bass build, and I'm going to use neck through box method. G.

Are you using a factory neck or are you building one? I use neck through on a lot of my 3 & 4 string CBG's where I've built the necks myself but I've not yet built a bass neck from scratch. Good luck & let us know how it turns out.

Building one, inspiration is my main plan!  G.
