First Post

Welcome to my pages. I hope you enjoy these stories about the bass-building hobby, my experiences with the incredible gear from DNA Amplification (and Eden Electronics), as well as performance schedules.  The Older Posts are interesting, too!


JCtheBassMan Fretless P-Bass Build
Let's launch this blog with some photos. Here is a Fender fretless Precision bass that I assembled in the summer of 2007 from carefully chosen parts. The fretboard, "ebonal" composite, yields a warm, singing tone all across the fretboard. It plays like a dream and sounds fantastic! The color is Midnight Wine. The pickups are perfect for this bass: Fender Vintage '62 reissues. This is the third bass I have built with a specific goal in mind.

Update: In the summer of 2008 I grew restless and sold this bass to a fine gent in Chicago. It's time to build something else this winter.
