very nice :)Gotta love an IB-5
Another beautiful IB-5 - can they turn out any other way?
Well done Priscilla, a beautiful looking bass.
Having had the joy of building one myself, I know how you are feeling right now, and just as an added bonus, they sound awesome too.
Well done.

yes well done Priscilla, the amber colour is pretty well identical to my IB-5. Looks like you didn't recess the control cover but hard to see in the photo. Could be the camera angle but low B and G strings fingerboard offsets don't look the same but may be the angle of the photo taken. Enjoy playing it now !
well done. looks great!

Yes we didn't measure the bridge properly so it's slightly off towards the low B side. We measured according to the pickup cavities but I guess that wasn't a good idea as the neck wasn't inline with the pickups. From the picture the misalignment is exaggerated due to the camera angle. Nonetheless it plays and looks good!
Hi Priscilla, thanks for that, glad the camera angle exagerated it, glad it plays well, I'm wrapped with mine too. Enjoy your creation now !
Just a side note,
I just recently got a bass amp for myself, the Ampeg BA 108, to practice on.
It's pretty good for the price, as a basic practice bass amp!
