It&#8217;s a 5-string short scale 33&#8242; 26-fretted soloing piece. I&#8217;m an engineer and my hobby is woodworking. No matter what I do, I&#8217;m just satisfied in woodworking. And I&#8217;m a bassist too, playing in hip-hop band. One day I got an idea &#8220;What if I would try to make a fully customized bass just for me?&#8221;, and spent the next 3 months of my free time in my garage trying to make first instrument.
