I recently completed building an Electric Fretless Bass Guitar, before i started this blog, if i have enough requests i will post a power point presentation (quicktime) of how i did it, fully illustrated of course.
The construction took all of 20 days 3 hours each day.
cost: $50
Parts:
Pickup - $50
Hardware - Salvaged
Timber:
Bluegum/pine - body
Jarrah - Fingerboard
This beast is a fretless 34" scale (fender)
Music man pickup - still pumps out a bit of hum
I am happy that it was possible to create a custom instrument withing 20 days and only 2 days of planning, However, this is only possible because i built a bass over a year ago which took about 12 months, looked 10000% nicer and was sold a month after i had finished it.
i would like to go back over the bass and fix some of the wiring to eliminate hum, and also get the fingerboard smoother.
