This week’s BotW comes from Brad Sourdiffe. It’s his first build, and it looks like he did a heck of a job for a first-timer.
This is my first bass. It is a short scale bass I made using a Danelectro neck, the hollow body is curly birch on the front, mahogany on the back, & has 2 EMG 35-TW pickups. Sounds amazingly good. I’m going to be making more soon…I love the EMGs.
And here’s a shot of the back to see the interesting contrast of the mahogany to the birch front.
Specs:
- 2 EMG 35-TW Pickups
- Short Scale Bass
- Danelectro neck
- Hollow body design
- Birch front
- Mahogany back
Beautiful! Congrats on a job well done. I would love to have one just like it only in long scale.
Hello Ross, Thank you for the comments, I have a 34″ scale bass like the 1st one that is almost done, if you’re interested in more info email me at electrobass55@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you. Brad
Great work Brad. Nice contrast.
Nice bass love the look. Love the birch front. Mahogany back confused me thought a hahogany center strip would be great. But I love your design. I would buy it today. Live to find out more. Got any for sale?
Thanks, I’m working on more, short and long scale and would be glad to make one with a mahogany center strip. Let me know if you’re interested. Brad (electrobass55@yahoo.com)
Great job–never would have guessed that it’s your first!
Holy crap!!! I love that bass and love that it is short scale! How do I get you to build me one with Nordstrand pickups in it? 😉
Thank you, I’d love to make you one, contact me at electrobass55@yahoo.com for more info!
Ditto to Tim Taylor’s comment……I would love to have one also…I would love to contact you and see if that’s a possibility…..

These are out right gorgeous pics Gabriel. You guys are true blue natur-al!!! I love all the pics, hovewer, I guess my favorite would be the pic of you two with me viewing you as I peak through the blossoms. some blossoms are sharp and others hazy which makes the picture and focus of you two just way too good. Love it! The one of Kalend and you with the guitar is really a charming and happy pic. The photographer did a fantastic job and sure is a good sport ~ like you guys. These are precious ~ just as I hope your life together will be. Blessings on your life.
this shoot is incredible! I love the scene idnsie the blossom orchard. Can’t get more gorgeous then that! Such a beautiful spring engagement shoot! Good Job!I absolutely adore the expressions of the shot with the groom playing the guitar and she’s just loving it. Very sweet.
You guys just look fantastic! I like the way the weaethr ended up factoring into the shots and making them so much more unique! Just fantastic. You guys make a beautiful couple!
