SB6 Firebase! We made a short scale bass and then set fire to it. It was awesome!

So first off I owe a special thanks to you guys as you inspired this on with some comments on an earlier post.



This is basically me SB3 design, with the top body wing reflected.



This is a through body guitar, the balk of the body is made from a mere 3 pieces of sapele, the fretboard is wenge.

Here are some concise specs;

30" scale

2.8mm dunlop fretwire

Warman Rail pickup, tapped, with volume and tone

Most parts from Black Dog Music (I usually use Schaller parts but as this was a prototype, I thought I would keep the  cost down, although considering the cost difference, these parts work well).

Rolled steel nut

two way trussrod

Finished with shellac, black wax and fire. Lots of fire.

Look! I made another shady video!

Probably not going to sell this one but happy to take offers (I need money) or orders for customs.

Thanks for looking!

Thank you! Its a very gratifying bass to play quite chunky neck, small body (we like small bodied designs, from an ergonomic and aesthetic viewpoint), and that pickup from Warman just has some nice thump to it!
