I just had to do it. One more bass. Another trip to Scotland.

After I made the fretless bass it just had to have a brother. Or sister.

So again a swamp ash body, maple (scarfe) neck, Lindy Fralin Jazz pickups, just two volume controls, Wilkinson bridge and Gotoh tuners.

But this time with frets and a poplar burl cap.

 

With Peter, Kevin and Jan.

The part of the cap we cut out was used for the headstock veneer.

I also made a video of it.
