Of course Leo Fender is rightly praised for his iconical Precision and Jazz basses. But in my humble opinion the best bass he ever designed was the Music Man Stingray. So I wanted to make one myself. But again with a little twist.
Alder body, laminated neck (maple and mahogany), wenge fretboard and a flamed maple top. The pickup is a Seymour Duncan SMB-4DS and the bass is fitted with an active 3-band eq.
Apart from the laminated neck the other twist is no pickguard. Worked out well (if I may say so myself).
Sold this one as well (and made another one after that).

Beautiful pieces of wood always - ALWAYS - look better when they don't have bits of cheap black plastic stuck on them
?
(Just my opinion of course ... ? )

@darrenking Thank you, I always try to use nice looking wood. A flamed maple top is not something very special, but you hardly ever see them on the 'standard' models like Jazz basses or Stingrays.

@johnnierox-boo Thank you, I never could have dreamt that just doing in my little shed what I enjoy doing could ever inspire someone else.
