Absolutely amazing - incredible effort for a first build! Was this made from a plan, or did you just go nuts on some timber
I like the shape of it - reminds me of a Warwick bass, and that's far from a bad thing!
Have to make a 5string bass of my own somewhere down the track... urgh, so many ideas in mind, so little workspace and time!

Thanks for your comment.
The shape is a mixture of various designs, but still pretty much our own.
I suppose it is a bit like a Warwick, but without the dunny roll holder top horn.

Do Australian`s bleed sawdust when you get cut, woodworking seems to come naturally to you all. Nice piece of work,especially for your first build, I don`t see any mistakes so you must be something of a David Copperfield because they disappeared.Mike
