This bass was made for a friend of mine, when he was playing for Mind Overtime (the band is no more, but you can listen to their stuff here).
He picked the parts and I made the body and set it up. The neck is an old Eko from Brandoni, which I refaced in walnut and branded with a W.
The body is totally hand carved from solid walnut, finished in a natural soft laquer.
The scratch-plates were all hand cut to match the lines of the body.
It has a Jazz bass bridge pick-up and an Epiphone humbacker by the neck.
The wiring was a bit tricky, as it has a separate volume and tone for each pick-up, a three way switch and a pick volume mix on the top horn.
All in all, a striking looking little short scale bass.
