The latest chopper I built

Here's a little video of me playing it on stage this week.  I love it! http://youtu.be/tdltFUWLe0k

Haha that is awesome - the dragon flyer!  Here's a shot of the fretboard.  I have learned it's not too uncommon.  I still don't like it but I slap hard and it's not fragile....

The neck dive isn't too bad.  I've lengthened a strap by bringing it to a shoe cobbler and having him add from another strap to it. 

Well, I filed down the BA bridge, adjusted my truss rod and intonation.  Drilled the strap lock buttons down and strung it up. Plays really nice.  The only thing I wouldn't do again is order the extra 2 frets.  I wanted a full double scale but I didn't think the highest frets would be hanging...

thanks! Yea Ibanez made the bass version but only in a 4 string.  I love that Warmoth makes them in a 5 and I could customize my woods and fret count and pickup routing etc.

ok.  Cool guitars anyway  :guitarplayer2:

That is AWESOME!  I wish they made basses in the star body.  I am pretty psyched about my Deluxe Iceman 5 that was shipped out yesterday tho.  I can't wait to see yours done!

Nice!

ok cool thanks man

I am waiting for my deluxe Iceman to get here and was wondering about J pickups.  I know there's a million choices and its subjective but I just wanted some opinions on which to get.  The bass will be a 5 string with a Deluxe 5 neck 24 fret, 1 7/8 nut, and a Badass 5 bridge.  I am going passive...

That paint is awesome!  Lets see a whole body shot.  It reminds me of supperballs from the 70's  :toothy10:
