Drake Custom Model 45 Bass Guitar Build

[@josepheucolono]

Great bass I come down to Marco every Feb would love to see your operation

That's a very beautiful bass guitar. I hope it sounds as good as it looks.

This is insane. You've literally included _everything_ in that bass that over years of playing I've been incorporating into various self-assembled basses! The 2+3 staggered headstock (for better winding the B and E string), the same shape of headstock, large visible fret markers on the fretboard face, a slim profile neck, a ramp, and what looks like series/parallel switching for each pickup on a 3-band EQ setup. The only difference between this and instruments I've put together is the scale (I've had to use 34"), a 16mm string spacing at the saddles, and I've used threaded inserts in my neck and Luminlay 5mm glow in the dark dots. If I wasn't putting a bass together right now I'd literally be throwing my money at you!!

Thank you!

[@terrywin2661]

Great build. Bet it sounds as good as it looks! Quick question though, what is that black material you used to between the body and the top? Was that just glue and dye or something? Really interested to know what that was. Thanks.

[@drakecustombass]

This is a piece of Poplar veneer that has been dyed black.

[@terrywin2661]
