How do you play the outside strings on the 6-string bass? They aren't even on the fretboard!

good point Fretty, I never noticed that, looks like the builder didn't plan the bridge string holes too carefully. You might be lucky enough to play the outside strings in about the 1st 5 frets, after that no fingerboard underneath !
Got to give the builder credit for having a crack, hope he/she has improved since these pics !

Well, the one with chunks of abalone around the sides is his latest. Judging from the neck rout, i don't see much improvement.

Yes Pablo I emailed that pic to DB thinking it must have been late in the day he forgot to use a routing template !

Good Lord!!
Wow, those guitars are truly horrendous. Still, it does raise the issue of taking some care in this thread. I wouldn't want to see us positing pics of guitars built by people who are having a genuine crack (maybe without the skills or tools to match their endeavour). Otherwise we might come off a bit snobbish.
Feel free to post production guitars that are on the market, but maybe let's give any home builders a miss.
Cheers,

awesome we are all safe.
Fair call Adam. Reading back over my post, it does come off a bit mean. I will happily change or delete.
Edit: Thought it best to delete the snarky comments. Sorry guys.
