Many of you may have already seen it, but staff member Jim McConkey put together a nice page for our newest member-built bass (and it looks gorgeous!). Check it out here
http://www.mimf.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=28. We'll be putting it up for sale soon, probably on that well-known auction site.
A
huge thanks to all that contributed to it!!

I was hoping the specs would list the final weight of this beauty. Does anybody happen to know?

If I had a good scale I could weigh it- it's still in my possession as of now.

FYI, it has just been listed on e-bay, search for "New custom 5 string electric bass from the MIMF"
I know it's against our rules, but since this is forum business, here is the direct link to the auction:

I see we got our first bid.
I'd like to send a shout out to Mark for pulling this project together and getting it done at the end.

It took a while, but I hope it's worth it! All the volunteers did great work, I wish you all could have seen it in person! Thanks David. Those knobs alone are something special.

SOLD to the highest bidder ! Someone just got themselves an amazing bass. I hope they'll report back once they get it in hand and have a chance to familiarize themselves with it.

Aw, Jeez, that's a real beauty. It certainly has an "other worldly" look to it.
