After the Lotto and the ChiSonic-Jazz, it's time for a new project: the JagBird.
For a long time I've wanted a bass with the playability of a Fender with a firm Gibson-vibe. I finally decided to create a JagBird. It will get the following specs:
* mahogany body in JaguarBass shape, with raised midsection like a T-bird;
* Allparts Jazz neck with rosewood fingerboard and pearl blocks and binding (my favorite neck);
* Lindy Fralin BassBuckers on the T-bird sweetspots
* Hipshot A style bridge, to achieve a smaller string-spacing.
* String-through
* Hipshot Reverse tuners
This should be the result:
Some ideas for the finish:

This should be a nice addition to my Tractor, Darkstar-P, Lotto and ChiSonic-Jazz!!
