    Back with another Z5 bass build.

    Ha ha! I remember reading the thread on your Z guitar. At first I thought, "A Z guitar....That's gonna be silly."  You really did a great job on it and I thought it turned out great. Unfortunately I think the only thing that breeds more Z's is plastic.  :icon_biggrin:

    Back with another Z5 bass build.

    Well.... I didn't spend much time taking pictures of it or anything.  As mentioned...I had the finish performed by the guys at RS Guitarworks.  That's what they do and they did a better job than I could have.  So really...After the finish...What is there to do?  Just bolt the thing together...

    Back with another Z5 bass build.

    I liked my first Z very much.  Every time I play it I get a good smile and have decided to make another one. This time it's going to be a David Ellefson inspired Z.  Silver body, matching headstock, black hardware, Hipshot bridge and ultralight tuners, EMG pickups and electronics. The body and...

    Seated playing with this bass isn't the best.  The lower horn can dig in depending on how you sit but I find it to be somewhat tolerable.  I'm in love with how it feels standing though.  From sitting down with the instrument, I had some reservations about the edge where your right forearm would...

    Sooo....I played my first show with the Z-Bass! First off....The playability is great!  Balance is good, and it's by far the easiest bass to move around with I've ever played.  I'm in love!!  If I had my way I'd probably change the neck profile a bit, but as-is...I really like this bass and...

    New 5-String Z-Bass...

    Okay....So instead of playing...I decided to be responsible and mow the lawn...Ya know...That mess of green stuff in the back yard that gets up to your knees if you neglect it too much.  The neighbors were starting to look at me funny. Sooooo...There was some debate about finishes for necks. ...

    Tight indeed!  For whatever reason the top three tuning key holes weren't quite large enough from the top down for the tuning key ferules.  They fit fine backwards though.  A little reaming resolved that. I wired up the bridge pickup straight to the output jack, popped a set of strings on and...

    Soo....The mailman showed up and handed me these.. And of course I had to pop 'em in just to see... It looks a bit like a bass.    :headbang:

    Ha ha!  Well...I don't tease for long... Whatcha think??  Neck fits in the pocket soooo snug. :)  I know the hardware isn't on...But the balance felt pretty good. :)  I'm a little concerned since the body was listed as being "light."  I'm hoping I don't have any balance issues.

    New 5-String Z-Bass...

    Ha ha! Well...Pics will be put up as soon as the pieces are in my possession.  UPS has them right now and it's killing me!  Oh well..At least Monday won't suck. If I like this Z bass enough there will most likely be a matching 5 fretless to go along with it and possibly a backup 5 so there...

    New 5-String Z-Bass...

    Hey guys, I recently pulled the trigger on a new Warmoth project.  First one in years.  Not sure how it's going to pan out but it'll be fun. :) This is also my first time posting here.  When I was looking at the parts I did a Google search and stumbled on to this place.  This appears to be a...
