Scratch bass build- "The Folly"

[Simon Barden]

I wish you good luck with it. 4, 5 or 6 string? Bolt-on, set-neck or thru-neck?

Hee hee- these are all the things I'm mulling over!

At present (and this will undoubtedly change) I'm thinking 4string fretless with a Billy Sheehan style neck join (unorthodox bolt-on), 2 octave fingerboard with neck position P-bass pickup and piezo bridge.

With 2 years curing time plenty of time to imagine how you want it to be.

Nice shape and the long top horn should provide loads of balance when played on a strap.
