Hey guys,
I know I'm a newbie around here but I figured this would be the best way to introduce myself.
I'm 16 years old and I've been playing for five years- and in those short 5 years I've always wanted to do this!
I've tried to build a bass before and just gave up... Then I tried this:
http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=704019&highlight=Here it is now:
Anyways so I found this forum through Carlo (Catoldo Basses- Dadagoboi)
And I was utterly stunned by Carlo's Fenderbirds!
I've been drooling over his work and it inspired me to do my own creation.
The Fenderbird represents the idea of taking an already original idea and makin it completely your own.
I took that and here is my prototype Offenderbird so far (clever name, eh? :mistergreen:
I'm still refinig the template shape- what do you guys think?
I'm using the guts from my Bronco for my prototype in a Pine body.
For my real one I'm gonna try a method ive been working on for chambering.
The criteria for my final offenderbird(s) will be:
Short scale
Rosewood neck w blocks and binding
Seafoam green
Gretch Fillertron pickups wired VVT
Superlight weight!!!
And if I were to do a fretless version( I plan on it)
It will be the same as above only Shell Pink.
Ok a LOT of talking! Sorry about that!
Now off to work! Wish me luck
