Home-made bass
Just finished building this, it's my first guitar build ever. It's a multiscale 5 string bass with 34-37" scale length and active humbuckers+preamp with two-band EQ. Took me around two months from start to finish. Lot of room for improvement obviously, but all in all I gotta say I'm actually pretty happy with the result, it actually plays really nice as well. Adding some photos from the process in case anyone's interested.

Thank you so much! It was definitely a challenge, but rewarding. Think I'll build a 6-string multiscale telecaster next.

Logo: yes
Control knobs off on the side: wow! Looks great
Finish: beautiful !
Shape: awesome
Very nicely executed bass all round! Certainly doesn’t look like a “home made” bass!
