One thing that I am not a fan of, is when the cable comes straight out of the front of the bass. It should come out of the side so it doesn’t stick out like flag pole, imo

You may like the Obsidian line, they have plug and play pick up / output connections to a circuit board, no messy soldering involved. I’ve used them on several 6 string projects and they are quality, imo.

Yes! Very much like that indeed.

Yeah this is the best advice yet.
Lots of inspiration there for something new and original!
See, I like it coming out of the front, that way I dont’ bash it in when sitting on the bed/couch/ larger chair, etc.
@Abraham1409 Just out of curiosity. Are you studying industrial design? Being one myself and having learned to setup basses and having understood better how many of the materials and parts work, I find it a very interesting project.
I think the hardest thing would be to reach a balance between simplicity (like a P-bass) and functionality (adjustable, exchangeable pick-ups, exchangeable connectors, passive vs active, etc.) It feels as if at least two versions of a concept ought to exist, one for the simplicity minded player with some possibilities of adjustment and another for versatility of components. The perfect bass, just one, does not exist, imho.

I want to thank everyone that gave me inputs and suggestions for designing my bass. It was really helpful. Now I can gladly say that it has been completed. Apart from adding 4 more frets and strap buttons it works and works well. Hope everyone likes the design.

Does it play? How does it sound?
Some sound bites would be cool… or a video where it’s being played!
How heavy is it? Is it balanced? What woods did you use??
Nice job!

It plays and sounds well.
I will be recording with it soon
It is about 5kg and a bit heavier at the headstock side. It is made entirely out of teak wood.
Thanks a lot!

I’m more interested in what you have to say about it.
- What went well?
- What went poorly?
- What didn’t turn out the way you expected?
- What turned out better than expected?
- What would you do different?
- What helped you figure it all out from a lutheir’s pespective?
- What grade did you get?
- Would you do it again?

Looks great! Nice job! What inspired the handle? What’s the scale of the B string?
