It is completed after 1 year / a Bass build pictorial

[jimilee]

That's a real beauty!!  I have a guitar or bass build on my bucket list, I'm jealous.

If you posted a thread on this earlier, I missed it.  Curious about how you started this - source of parts, etc.  If there's a thread, point me to it!

Oh, and I vote for a built-in phaser.

Built in Phaser would be awesome. I think there is a thread where I completed it but left it wood grain. I got the body and neck from guitar center and the rest on Ebay. The Stratosphere is a great ebay seller, got many parts from there.

Love that color Jimi. Great job man!

[jprizz]

Woohoo! That is a fine looking instrument. Job well done, great color choice.

[billstein]

Wow Jimi! What a beauty. Great job on the finishing.

[slimtriggers]

Man, that looks fantastic!  I liked the natural wood look, too, but the color really brings it to life!

I agree the natural looked good, then I saw the wudtone finish and knew it had to be done.

[kothoma]

Yeah, really great finish!

(Took me a while. For anyone else wondering: www.wudtone.com)

You bastard.  You dirty rat.  My wife would have been fine with me thinking Warmoth was the only place like this.

(Very nice by the way.)

Yep, and guitar fetish has some stuff too!

Thats awesome jimilee

[jimilee]

Thanks again for all the kind words. It's a great feeling to know I did this. Before a year ago when I started building, there is no way I would've even attempted anything like this.

Ridiculously gorgeous.
Jealous.

Right now it's a Ross phaser, sounds really great. It's been on my  board for quite sometime now. It's the orange ray gun girl phaser I built.
