The feature bass this week was built as a gift, and what a nice gift it is.
Builder Darryl Cameron writes:
This bass was built as a Christmas present for a friend. She has played bass for years and I wanted to build a bass so this is the end result. It is a neck through design with an obvious Ibanez SR styling to it. The neck is laminated maple and walnut with a walnut headstock veneer. The fingerboard is inlayed with mother of pearl butterflies and crushed stone accents and lines. The body wings are made from layered mahogany, maple, wenge, maple, and finally walnut on top. The hardware is an aluminum Hipshot AStyle 4String bridge, Hipshot Ultralite Tuners, Nordstrand Big Single 4 String Single Coil pickups, and an Aguilar OBP-3 pre-amp (2-Pickup 5-Knob 2-Switch 3-Band Vol – Bl – Mid – Treb – Bass – Mid Sw – A/P Sw).
Well done!

Wow, that bass is beautiful! That was one hell of a present. I wish somebody would give ME a birthday present as gorgeous as that one.
Wow. That is beautiful. I love the look of the wood on the body.
Best looking bass I’ve seen in 50 years. I would love to hear it.
Nicholas I am with you buddy! What a bass!!!!! Beautiful I would like to play and hear it!
Looks awesome!!! Great gift!!!
Love the adaptation, modernization of the older Ibanez 924 style. Lucky lady….
Wonderful, well balanced design.
Darryl absolutely AWESOME! I usually don’t comment being the novice I am, but this bass is beautiful, because it is simplistic in it’s design, but exotic with the use of woods it is made of. I have a Peavey Cirrus with a similar look. Many of the basses shown here have such unique presence. I just look in awe and read the comments.
I usually don’t comment either, but that is one snazzy Ibby-like bass! If I had mad skillz like that I wouldn’t need to buy basses anymore.
Simply Gorgeous! That is one of the most beautiful Basses I have ever seen. I just love the craftsmanship that went into this instrument. Can I be your Friend?
TO BUILD AND GIVE AS A GIFT IN THIS DAY AND AGE IS AN HONORABLE THING….BEAUTIFUL AXE…KEEP ROCKIN!!!……JOHNNY X
Really nice work! Is it an oil finish?
Oh. My. Word. That thing ROCKS! Amazing job, bro…just amazing. ( I bet that inlay work took some doing!
Very good work ! I wish We had sound samples for all these basses of the week !!
There’s a lot of love in that bass. If she didn’t know before, she must certainly know now. It’s a beautiful piece of work.
