Bass Portfolio
Introduction
This page contains pictures of a few of the instruments that I’ve built over the years.
One thing to note is, as a kind-of luthier, all of these instruments are subject change as time and the situation warrants. For example, the lipstick pickups just weren’t working so I changed them out, along with a few other changes.
AG03
My first serious attempt at a bass.
This is a simple PJ-style bass with 20 frets and a VVT control set. The body is made from old kauri floorboards, the faceplate from an old garage door (the wood is called Queensland walnut which is from Queensland but isn’t a walnut), the neck is laminated Queensland maple and jarrah, with a jarrah fingerboard.
