This is my "Bass #1".
In May 2005 I built my first bass in 5 days at Mark Bailey's "Build your own" guitar course in Scotland.
It has a mahogany body with a Amazakoué top and a maple neck with a birdseye maple fretboard.
It has a Schaller 3D bridge and Gotoh tuners.
The pickups are Seymour Duncan AJJ2 Lightnin' Rods and the bass has a STC-3 3-band tone circuit with the "Slap switch".
It sounds just great.
Photographs of the making of this bass can be seen at:
