Thanks Dave!

#0012 went out Tuesday with vintage reverse Resolites.


Here's the molded case with #001.  It's being picked up today by 'The Black Rabbits', hopefully it will show up on their next video.

Love the yellow tint. Really nice work Carlos, you're really cranking these babies out.

I had a set off them put on my BachBird last week. Very nice tuners.

Carlo does amazing work! Should hopefully have mine by the end of the month if my ThunderBuckers come in soon.   ;D

Carlo, any pics of the finished body yet?

On schedule, ThunderBuckers have arrived, waiting for rings.


#0014 goes out Monday.  Extreme neck position pup, side mount jack, matching headstock.

That neck pup would sound thunderous deep soloed!
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

It does have quite a bit more bottom than in the 'sweet spot.'  Not exactly a mudbucker though.

3 pup anyone?

I think the surf green would look really good blacked out!

Found this thread via TalkBass.

Firstly awesome work. These are the nicest looking T-Birds I've seen for a long time, and great to see all the work you put in to arrive at the current version.

So I have a question: I would really like to order one of these, but at the moment pretty much everything I do requires a 5-string bass. So what I would like to know is if you would be able to make a 5-string version? I realise that it's going involve sourcing a suitable neck and a new body routing template which of course will be reflected in the cost. Anyway if this is something you are interested in building, I am 100% interested in buying!

hi. slightly off topic - just saw the avatar and thought it's BRX!!!
welcome aboard. just knew you would be asking for a fiver!!!
hope you manage you sort it.

cheers. :)

Now a little more wiser. . . . .
