This is way cool!

Any idea how you're going to work the tuner/headstock layout?

2X2 sort of off set like the guitars. Im working on the string rollers that guide(line up) the strings with the nut. I may do an overlay for the headstock or just a gloss black with a silver gibby logo .

What scale are you using?

Looks great so far. keep updated

Man that is so funky looking. I think it's gonna look great. The color of those pups have grown on me. I have a new one too a guy gave to me in exchange for a pickguard. Just waiting for the right project to drop it into. A natural finish would be cool for sure.

30" scale. The neck is one of those evil bay ones I managed to grab a while back and scabbed on some mahog for the headstock width. Im considering a coiltap but Im still on the fence. today Im doing the dots on the fretboard.

Yeah ,Ive had them ,NIB, for several years. I just could not get beyond the color. They will be fine on this baby. I should flip one of them around like an LP or do the Peter Green thing and confuse everyone

Yeah Model G's sure are ugly but man they sound great !

Well, I am partial to blonde myself!

Actually I would go with Amber transparent dye & Clear to really get that vintage Korina look.

With a black pickguard it would look great.

This is one of the coolest project bass if not the coolest project bass ever!

Like Mark, I thought I was the only one who would want one of these, seeing as how they didn't exist...before now.

How awesome would it be to see Billy and Dusty with matching Moderns?

Great work, keep the pictures coming amigo.

OldManC · January 28, 2009, 03:45:56 AM

Damn, that's gonna be a great looking bass. Now I want one, too!

n!k · January 28, 2009, 06:02:01 AM

I was pondering this awhile ago, figures the 'Post has someone already on task!

I love that kind of blackwashed looking stained Korina. I'd vote for that if you're still undecided about a color.

Headstock overlay & lots of cleanup......

I'll make no bones about it: Wanna sell?

Jealousy is the sincerest form of flattery. Great, great work.
