I was here 19 years ago, when I started a project which was way too ambitious, and obviously, that did not go anywhere (a 6-string fretless headless semiacoustic like the Leduc Ubass). In the years that followed, I did a few assemblies (A jazzbass and precision), and a few basses of my own design (shortscale 5 strings, same shape, but one in neckthrough with two soapbar pickups, and one bolt-on with a musicman stingray pickup).
Recently, I've been intrigued by the Maurizio Miezo basses, but I did wonder about usability. And then we had some discussions on the dutch bassists forum about the Mayones Cali, which I liked but also had some comments on, so I thought, "why not built my own?".
I am more into building furniture these days, and I actually bought mahogany to make a dovetailed (houndstooth dovetails) whisky cabinet. But I did wonder where to put it when it was done, and the wife found the mahogany too "old-people-esque", so I figured to use it in a bass instead
I am still using the same 3d mechanical CAD program I was 20 years ago, so I did a little modeling and figuring outing:
Will also be my first bass I will fret myself, earlier I've asked other people to do this, but I really should put on my big boy pants now
