For a first bass build, this is pretty darned good. (It is most likely true the builder has previous guitar building experience, and this is his first specific bass guitar instrument.)<\/p>\n

My brother commissioned me to build this bass for his son as a college graduation gift. This gift was no surprise to my nephew, so he supplied me with a complete design and parts list, after all this was going to be his custom bass, I was just the builder. This was my first bass build. <\/p>\n

The body is ash and the top is cocobolo and the neck is all maple. It is finished with a clear satin catalyzed lacquer. <\/p>\n

The neck pickup is a Delano JC4 AL\/H<\/a> and the bridge is a Delano Hybrid4<\/a>. They run through a Delano Sonar2 EQ. It’s both passive and active. It’s basically a Fender Jazz and a Music Man Stingray, I named it JazzStinger. <\/p>\n

The hardware is a Schaller bridge and Hipshot tuners<\/a>. My nephew did graduate and he loves his new bass…and his uncle. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
