Well, that time of my life is approaching and I've set myself a task for the coming year - scratch built bass.
Current vision:
4 string (maybe through body)
Neck through
Australian wood body
Ebony or sheoak fretboard
Fretless
Grover Titan style tuners
Dual action truss rod
Up for grabs at the moment:
Pups - thinking a '51 P bass style at the front and a split coil 'bucker at the back
Bridge - Schaller, Babicz or individual saddles (for a through body)
Anthing I've missed? Any suggetions? Not looking for the total dream bass, but something that packs good bang for buck.
Hoping for around the $5-700 mark.

The only thing you missed was a trip to the DB man cave to build this beastie :)
-
maybe a Ghost system in the bridge???

I'm moving to wa. There must be some luthier voodoo in the water.

sounds good Brendan and yes a trip to DB's man cave is a must he can get the blank cut and start your neck build.
Entry fee is a few beers
