Kirbatron No.1

Anyway, the neck is a 5 piece maple and walnut neck thru design, with 2 carbon fiber rods and 1 truss rod. it has a wenge,maple,walnut top on the headstock and a walnut truss rod cover held with a magne. It has a single cut body design. The 3 piece body wings are made with a mahogany back a walnut center and a wenge top with a mystery veneer in between that I salvaged from a veneer manufacturer in the area.The bass side of the body is chambered in 2 seperate section. The larger section ports at the pick up cavities. The fret board is gabon ebony with maple binding. nickel frets since I like nickel strings as well. 35 inch scale length with hand made brass nut, a schaller 3d-5 bridge and some tuners from allparts. I actually put in some EMG 45TW 6 string pick ups because this was originally going to be a 6 string. Walnut frames around pickups to cover my poor routing abilities. Made my own knobs with of course maple, walnut ,wenge. Still haven’t made the control cavities yet but I’ve been playing this for a couple months now and surprisingly it plays and sounds better that any of the basses that I own.
