Gibby Moderne short scale ,so far..

Never played a "V" of any kind but told the best way is with one fin "between the legs" - Only ever seen one Moderne "in the flesh", in a London showroom, shortly after the "re-issue"...

Holy crap that is sooooooooooooooooooooo cool ! Nice work.

Awesome! And the short scale neck is perfect for that body shape, it doesn't look like a bass version of a guitar, it looks like it was made to be a bass from the start.

Where's the pickguard? I really think it would look even better with one.

BTW, I'm very temped to build one myself.

I like the looks of this better as a bass than a guitar! Excellent work.

It turned out really cool. Nice job.

Barkless & Doc you guys rock with your inspiration,builds and advise.
Im dedicating this girl to you all,once I find the parts etc.

The proportions are very comfortable. It would not look right with a long scale. Im planning a PG like the orig one for sure..Its the last part. I may put an old string on it and test my wanky wiring skills.
Oh yeah, G.O.T. you rock also with your help & advise with the model G's 'n all else.

She is purdy in the sun. Ill send some sunny pics.M

If you send me measurements and basic tracing, I promise to build one!

Wiring is wonkie as usual . I tried to use a push/pull on the neck pup but I think its cooked . Im putting in a CTS pot this week.M

I have to tweak the nut and glue her down . Why they stopped making the model G will remain a mystery. This shorty is a monster!
pics soon
