Many builders take inspiration from Fender design and then improve upon it to meet their needs, and that’s exactly what this week’s BotW is all about.<\/p>\n

I wanted a 4-string fretted bass with a maple neck but did not fancy a Precision or Jazz bass, so I decided to build one myself. The body is solid alder (two-piece) with a bookmatched 4A flame maple top. The top is stained in two stages; first a coat of mahogany brown (which was sanded down) and then a coat of light yellow to achieve a 3D effect. The neck is a super-construction all maple fretted paddle-head from Warmoth (fantastic neck!). The contour of the headstock is my own design. Tuners are Hipshot HB6Y Ultralights<\/a> and the bridge is an all brass Hipshot A-type<\/a>. Pickups are Bartolini PJ<\/a> setup (Neck: CPB P, Bridge: CBJS L-1 J) with passive electronics (Volume, Blend, Tone). The bass is clear coated with a two component polyurethan laquer. It sound fantastic, but I`m considering to install active electronics to get a more versatile tone spectrum. The sustain is “ever lasting” (actually better then my Pedulla Pentabuzz!), so I`m very happy with the result. Enjoy! <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
