A Christmas Present to Myself
Dwayne Glanton of central Arkansas is the builder.
http:dwaynesthisandthat.us He sold this bass to me for $90. It came with a $140 TKL hard shell case.  He was not a bass player when he built this bass. I had to do a lot of work to get to where a bass player could appreciate it more. (long story) specs: 34" scale solid figured maple body 5 piece maple neck through body redheart fingerboard EMG soapbar pickups neck vol, bridge vol, tone, pretty standard      Thanks fer lookin, Tabdog |

The maple and the redheart fret board look really different (in a good way). I can honestly say I've never seen it used as a fretboard before. Congrats on the new acquisition.

Pretty damn cool for $90. Lacquered fingerboards always look cool.

That is where the "long story" I talked about comes in. The bass only had one volume control. I added another one so each pup has a volume,   The story goes on. I had to turn the tuning machines around because they were on backwards,   The neck bent up at the body and caused a woop-tee-doo,   I took the frets off,  and ground the neck down until it was strait. I ground so much 3 fretboard markers came out,  I ground so much that I could not re-cut the fret grooves. That's when I decided to go fretless,  The fretboard was totally flat. (no radius) I put about a 12 inch radius on it. That's all I can remember right now. It seems like I'm forgetting something, but I cant remember what, Tabdog |
