Black Korina J Bass

[Min@cious D.]

Hi there,

As a total newbee on this forum (eeehh...any forum  :toothy11 I thought I'd give it a try.
So here's my new joy & pride:

Black Korina body with bookmatched flamed top, metallic brown back finish;
Bubinga unfinished neck, streaked ebony fretboard with 6105 stainless steel frets;
Nordstrand NJ4SV pickups, left passive;
ETS bridge;
Schaller tuners & straplocks.

Greetz!

You don't build basses like a noob.  How's it sound.

 

[Jorundr]

Sweet!  ccasion14:

Thanx for all your compliments!
Both body and neck were showpieces though...
...'t was a matter of putting the right parts together...though really glad it all workes out well.

Turbo: it sounds great, all lows 'n highs well balanced, real fat funky J-tone...still needs some fret levelling. Probably will be done by a local luthier.

Ty: Haven't got pictures of the back yet. Just waiting for another sunny day... :glasses9:

I have to say guys, there is some killer work being done at the moment......

Fantastic Bass!!  :rock-on:

You picked yourself a nice piece of lumber there. Great build

 

[Min@cious D.]

For some finishes or woods it takes a while to find matching parts as far as the showcase goes. It took a while before I spotted the right neck matching the body. But then again, it's all a matter of taste, no?
I have to give my dad credit for helping me out on this one. Maybe he's gonna build a Tele or Strat W in near future  ccasion14:

jimh: I really like the eightball neckplate Dangerous has made for you. Awesome man!

Thanks matey.  :icon_thumright:

So.....You really need to do the decent thing and get big bad D to make one for you too.  That'll really set off your bass, and it'll be yours forever.......Go fully custom....  :blob7:

 

[Min@cious D.]

Yep, that's on my wishlist. I'll just need have a custom D-sign...  :laughing7:

 

[SlingBass]

OUTSTANDING 

 

[Creepies]

That is one of the top three best looking basses I've ever seen...and I mean that.

 

[GoDrex]

It's cool that the grain on the body makes it look like it's a neck thru design.

 

[instagator]

That thing is so classy.I don't see a need for a pickguard at all.Very nice build,you should be proud of that one ccasion14:

Cheers.

 

[Min@cious D.]

Thanks again for all your nice comments!
Now looking for a handsome 5 Deluxe to build...and a fretless 4 after that...  :icon_biggrin:
But first save some $$$ though...
