I finally got around to building a bass for myself. I wanted a warm contemporary sound , as I play at church all the time. I started with a zebra wood top with alder body wings. The neck is cherry/ maple/ walnut. I used a pau ferro fret board and made the truss rod myself. I choose Bartolini dual coils with a 5.2 A/P Bartolini preamp. All hardware is Hipshot. I have found that the 5.2 preamp gives me a ton of options to control the tone. During the build, I loved the wood work of shaping the neck and wings. I am a furniture builder so I had a full shop of machinery at my disposal. I will definitely start another and Best Bass Gear is the best place to get the hardware. Very helpful when I had to make changes and have questions answered.
Well done, Steven!
