So, the 'cursed bass' project has been done for a while now, and honestly? The thing sounds amazing, now that it's broken in. It's become my 'main bass' and I rarely pick up the others. Now I'm in the middle of moving cross country (I have a lot of stuff, this is an epic undertaking for me after living in the same house for ten years), but I'm starting to think of the next project.
One thing I'm considering is a jazz bass, though I'm thinking of just a clear finish with a nice piece of wood underneath. One thought is a Rosewood body, so it matches the neck. Any opinions on that?
Another thought is to make another P-Bass, but to cut the body into a design, instead of the standard P-bass shape. Mostly because I know someone who plays bass who would appreciate it, if I can come up with a good lion head design for the body.
In the case of the first idea, what are your favorite woods for an unpainted bass, both for tone quality and visual appeal?
Thanks.
