Planning my Bass build.
If I can find a deal on a left handed B5 Bigsby, I hope to modify it for my Electric Construction class next semester.
Im thinking

| LPB with Comp stripes |
Short scale Mustang bass
 | ||
| Right handed Bigsby - Upside down |
Problem #2 with the Bigsby is I gotta make a roller bridge to get it to play worth a damn. We will see how my winter break goes. Still got that Y-Bike guitar to finish.

| Winding something close to a Charlie Christian Pickup |
Then just some simple body wood, hoping to do a Lake Placid Blue or Fiesta Red
 |
| Maybe a flamed neck |
Paul Bigsby was a motorcycle racer/pattern maker
He made all the patterns and designed a good chunk of the parts found on Crockers

| The lightening of a cast gas tank |

| Grass Track |
I only play ss basses and have always gotten a little bit of flak for from purists types. I just think they play faster, easier for me. I never really liked the idea of a bigsby on a bass, but now I'm thinking it would be way rad. I have two ss basses right now,both low cost instruments and both heavily modified already. Hmmmnn, I'll be watching this build.
