This is the result. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e22/guitarman91/My%20musical%20instruments/Metalbas.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e22/guitarman91/My%20musical%20instruments/Metalbas2.jpg The shape looks wonky but with it's strap button at the backside of the lower horn it balances nicely and the shape also allows me to carry it around in a normal gigbag. The pickups are from Magnetics, the bridge from kahler, it has a pine body with a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard. It sounds very much like a Jazz bass really but the active magnetics pickups give a real punch and piano-like clarity. I can do a very convincing Stanley on this. blazer Intermediate Member Username: blazer Post Number: 144 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Friday, April 13, 2007 - 7:03 pm:    An embed picture of that bass. 57basstra Senior Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 592 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Friday, April 13, 2007 - 8:29 pm:    This is allright, Wouter! richbass939 Senior Member Username: richbass939 Post Number: 824 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Saturday, April 14, 2007 - 1:20 pm:    Congrats. It looks great. That's quite an accomplishment. I have a homebrew going, myself. One of these days I get it finished. Rich
