I am also interested in a medium scale precision.

But Wil was last online here an July 27th.
So he maybe already sold his bass, or is not longer interested in selling it.

Thanks a lot.

The body style is my own design.
Of course inspired by other designs, by not a copy of a particular bass.

I ever thought, if I would build my own bass, then I make something unique that you can't buy.


Never underestimate the power of a rasp and sandpaper combined with enough time ...

Hello,

here are pics from a bass that I built this year totally from scratch:

It's my first bass, that I build on my own.
Only the sliced fingerboard, the trussrod and the pickup was bought as it is.
The rest was build by myself ...

Thx, I just wanted to warn against those cheapo DIY kits.

Some people think of DIY that is cheaper than a bought product.
But DIY only means, that it is built by your own hands. And mostly it is more expensive than an bought chinese-built product.

The fun of DIY is to build something individual ...

I saw those kits often on ebay. But I won't recommend it.
It is as cheap as it can get.

I heard that the hardware and pickups are the cheapest possible. So you have to replace them. This would cost more than the kit itself.
For this price the wood can't be high quality.

Why you spend many hours of ...

zomg, I just saw, that my picture has a graphic error. I just thought it would be my browser.

So, here is another picture:

I lower the price to 700 euro.

Because of the shape of the body, the Explorer is much longer than a usual longscale bass.
So the shipping costs are really expensive.

It is still for sale.
I am changing the price to 750 euro.

Yes, all BaseX have those bolt on neck, where the neck is mounted from the rear of the body.
Except for the custom orders that wanted a neck through BaseX.

I am from Germany and I own a Human Base Bass (not this one, because I would not sell it).
The Human Base Basses are a fine piece of german craftsmanship.

I need this bass so bad for my 80's thrash metal band.
Long hair, black leather, spikes and a purple heartbreaker bass

Unfortunately they don't send to europe...

I like the look of a steinberger.
But I am too young to played one back then, and nowadays the prices are a bit to high.
I am a player and no collector.
For this price you can get a custom-made/hand-made bass....

Don't be ridiculus.

Don't be a moron, then.

Dudes, Rockbass was kidding. :)

Thanks for pointing that out. :roll:


Unfortunatelly, every high priced bass loses about 50% of its price, when it is used.
Even if it is still flawless.

Except if it is a very rare vintage instrument.
If there are ...

Don't be ridiculus.
I am not mrkode.

But my post above was very serious.

There is absolutly NO sarcasm in my post above.
Please, don't even try to use your brain to detect a joke.
Because I would never do any funny postings.

I am changing the price to 800 euro.

I can also think about trade with an fender precision or fender shortscale

Ok, can you tell me, where to get one of those new left Rickenbackers for less than $1249, please.

Did Hoyer copied from Aria or Aria from Hoyer? ;)

Originally the explorer design is from Gibson in 1958. :geek:
Anyway I saw some diagonal stripes often on 80s Explorers.

But a lefty explorer very rare indeed. 8-)

I want to sell it, because it isn't my main intrument and I think this should be ...
