Bass Models

[pantsman]

Any clue on what shapes will be available?

A P and J shape is a given, but that leaves 5 more shapes! I'd love to see a thunderbird shape to go with the firebird kit already available.

Also, please tell me there are maple fretboards coming for the bass kits?

Adam gave a run-down on the bass models elsewhere, mate (can't remember exactly which thread) but, from memory, there was a J, a P, a P with humbucker, a Hofner, and two Ibanez-styles, one 4 string, one 5 string. I think there was a seventh model, but I can't remember what it was. Certainly something for everyone there, though.

Found the thread in which the bass models are identified. The one I missed was the Hofner with spalted top.

I think the Spalted Beatle Basses are already pre-stolen/hi-jacked by a pirate boat that left Freemantle several weeks ago.....

Yeah, I'm sorry the 2 spalty Hofner style kits were special orders... but we may be able to wrangle one of them from DB's sweaty clutches... he's got enough basses. It would be a nice addition to the site.

I'm not one for Beatle basses so no worries there. However I am really keen on a bass version of the FB-1, from what I've read custom orders aren't too much of a pain in the arse so this would be doable right?
