Thanks Guys.

@Andy, Wokks & Damo it sounds really fat and chunky. Having previously had mostly F style basses which have predominately single coil PUP's they tend to have that same, same typical bass sound. The Ric 4001 I previously owned also had that hollow single coil sound too, whilst the Yammy BB1200 fretless was the only one with some low end grunt. The standard PUP's on this are good enough straight out of the box and it sounds very much like a Thunderbird which is another axe I longed for before committing to this one.

Just waiting for the neck setup to settle before tweaking it a bit more plus that will give me more time to finish the EX-1 and also figure out how and what to use for video or sound clip.

Still trying to figure out what to do with that fat 5th string but not finding the fingerboard too wide as thankfully the depth is quite thin which makes it easier to reach all the way across, and only 78mm wide at end of fret board but who plays bass up that high anyways?

Love that headstock logo!

Hey nice build was, so the stock pups seem like they are quite good on these? Either way, looks great

Five incredible entries again this month. I would gladly have any of these 5 in my personal arsenal, so it's going to be very tough to pick one winner.

Assuming there's no 11th Hour entries, we'll get the Judges on the job now and hopefully have the results up on Thursday or Friday night.

Good luck to the 5 entrants.

wow end of the month already ! Yes Ads looks like another tough month to judge

[adam]

Yeah, it becomes a bit repetitive to say "this month is going to be hard..." but, as a Judge, it is definitely getting harder.

We now have builders from around the globe, bringing new techniques and amazing results to the competition.

In think it may be time to hand over my seat at the Judging Table to someone more worthy. Any takers?

[dingobass]

I reckon you should still have the casting vote in case of a draw, Adam..
Unless you want to relinquish that to me?

[wokkaboy]

Hey Ads, thats a good idea if there is a draw give the casting vote to DB. Think there are enough judges now ? I am happy to be a permanent judge as my days of entering are over.
@ DB what if there is a draw between a Mozzy and an Iceman ? will the model of guitar cloud your judgement ? haha
