But even Warwick threads are allowed here. And I'm sure we have more than a few closet Warwickers here. Cometh forth!!! Only Chris P. is man enough to admit to owning AND playing one ...

I haven't seen another like yours. I have seen US Masters basses where the neck extends beyond the end of the fretboard and the truss rod access hole is cut into the end of the neck with no cover.

I have a  few of their basses.  All play really well.  great necks.  electronics - nothing special.....  lousyt resale value so i was able to pick them up in the 500 or less range where  a new one sells for around $2000.

Hey Uwe, I like your blue Tonefuchs!
Why didn't he keep the pickguard / controls lay-out from your concept?
And why did he make such a mess of the whole design. It was perfect on your prototype.


But what's with those two screws at the end of the fretboard?

Did Tonefuchs come up with a similar idea that I had on my Brooks bass?
On my bass the last part of the fretboard is the trussrod cover. The 24th fretmarkers are screws.








That really did turn out nice. So now that you had it for a while how do you like it so far?

How does it rate with your other basses?
