Thanks! We went with two pickups per side instead of three each to leave more room for the theme aspects that we will be adding related to the flamethrower, etc. Most of my personal basses have three pickups with four to six separately operable coils when doing coil splits. Truthfully the...

Thanks for all the nice comments!! Here are a few more pictures with the rosewood/abalone hole/rosette combination. It was a very nice unexpected bonus that the T body shape actually fit my Fender case which is form fit to accept J and P basses. I rarely use the hard case but love tweed so I...

Wood parts for our next charity project. Double-neck guitar/bass inspired by the Mad Max Fury Road flamethrower doubleneck. It won't be a replica. We want to make it our own interpretation. Body and neck weigh 10 lbs. Add the guitar/bass parts and it's 15 lbs. When finished it will probably be...

This is a P-type bass in a T-style body with an acoustic bass appearance. The idea was inspired by the Turner Model One guitar made famous by Lindsay Buckingham and manufactured by legendary luthier Rick Turner who was a founder of Alembic, maker of some of the best basses ever made...

Thanks! Are you saying the bass is mentioned in the book or just messing with me? The bass will be sold for benefit of the MJF Foundation. We hope to launch the sale process by the end of April 2019 - next couple of weeks.

Alder clearly works the best in our experience but be careful or you might turn to ash.

Anyone know where to get switches rated at 1.21 gigawatts?

My son and I just finished this three year project. When the bass is sold we are donating the proceeds to charity. Most likely will go to the Michael J. Fox Parkinson's Foundation. Look up Doner Designs on Facebook for more pictures and info.

Just finished up a bass we call the JazzMan. It's named after the pickup that Nordstrand custom made to our specs (two differently wound noiseless J pickups under a MM cover). We will try to get some recordings done soon. Body is chambered swamp ash with a unique quilt maple top. Finish is dark...

This one is named after its custom Nordstrand pickup. The pickup is two differently wound split coil J pickups under a MM cover with both pushed to the outer edges. Pickup position is the Warmoth sweet spot - similar to MM pickup location. Details: •Chambered swamp ash body with unique quilt...

Here is a parts pic even though it's done...
