I have chosen to build one by myself. I have a neck, one original pickup, one EMG replacement, Sperzel tuners and Schaller bridge and ordered what I need to complete it. I will spend at last less than 400 € and enjoy the time drawing, cutting, painting, finishing and finally playing looking at the my band mates wondering how can I play Sushine of you love on such an ugly bass. Sure I have my vintage Gibson EB0 and EB2 and my ebony fretboard 90 TB, but making my own ugly bass is priceless.
Note that the help of pals on LBO is priceless.
