a new bass that went out 12/26/06
(Warmoth body/neck)
a Dark Star upgrade to an Ibanez Artcore that I just wrapped up
another one that wrapped up as soon as I got the neck fretted and the Dark Star pickup hole routed in the pickguard
this one is a nitro finished Alder body with maple/birdseye neck, Dark Star DS-3 pickup, and passive controls
Edited to add a final shot before this headed out the door:
In Feb 2007 assembled an 'eBay parts project' for a client in Nashville, TN. The guy wanted a Dark Star loaded P-bass, and had preference for a '57 RI Alder body and a '62 RI P-bass neck with Rosewood fretboard. Add in a Hipshot Vintage bent plate bridge, a Dark Star DS-3, a pair of passive tone controls per vintage specs, and a P-bass pickguard minus the pickup route from Warmoth ....
I kept the pickup route centered on the P-bass sweetspot, and shielded it with three coats of shielding paint.
Thanks to all who have entrusted their projects to me - I look forward to continuing my commitments to you and the basses I made for you. It's been an honor to have been entrusted to bring your dream bass into reality
All the best,
R
