Bass 9 Back to the beginning --------- o ---------- My Son Peter, has taken up bass and already has two basses in his collection. He's asked me to build him a bass that reflects his choices with a view that it will compliment his existing array of basses. Peter wants a 4 string with a Thru neck construction, sporting Jazz pickups. Peter really liked design of the first bass that I built. This was refined in Bass #3 that i built, a fretless version of Bass #. I built Bass #1 a long time ago and some of the hardware is no longer available. I have a pair of Barolini pickups that will suit Peter's needs perfectly. This should give this bass a nice modern Jazz Bass tone. The bridge will be a Hipshot with standard spacing. The tuners I used on bass #1 & 3 are Shaller M6 2000 with propella heads. These are long out of production. But I might be able to track down a set in gold. Electrics will be active with a passive bypass. As per Bass #1, a good 2 band EQ will be perfect for this bass. The bodyshape may be the same as bass #1 & 3. I'll need to make a routing template for this shape. Body wood: Paduak Neck Wood: Maple and Paduak 3 piece laminate ---------- o ----------
