a couple of candy's

Postby dubtrub » Sun Jun 19, 2011 11:04 am

Had the old blue bass that I built back home for a tune-up, so I decided to grab a photo of it and it's companion. It belongs to my son, bass player for my band The Tsunami Surfers. One of these days we'll do a gig and play these. Although we love to play the custom builds at rehearsal, we haven't used them live with the current band. Afraid they'll get scratched. ;)

Beeyoutifulll! I didn't realize the bass body was so much bigger - or is that an illusion?

Thanks gang!

Yep! The bass body, neck and headstock is bigger. I made the templates traced from original Mosrites.
