Nice bass, is there a build record for this beauty.

I like that!

That's hotness. I would hate to play a 3+ hour gig with it. Me thinks it would be a bit heavy.

Congrats Frank!! I love how the Maple laminate frames the top in the picture Mica posted at the top of this thread.

Wow!!! Double 5 string and the Side mounted 5 pin is also very cool.

That's very, very cool! The Rogue body almost looks more suited for double than single neck design. What keeps holding me back from building one is deciding on the endless possibilities.

This one is a real beauty - very inspirational.

Congrats Frank!

Beautiful Bass.....so this is just a Custom & not a series bass with a hidden hum cancellers correct?

Correct, reading the COTM on this it says they put the 5-pin input since he uses series basses so he could power this with his power supply

There wasn't a Factory to Customer thread on this build, but I collected images of the construction. Here's some scrap from trimming the neck:

I think it looks really cool!

I think it looks like a sculpture in the style of Joan Miro' i Ferra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Mir%C3%B3

More El Lissitzky, if you ask me. But hey - it's in the eye of the beholder!

sonicus · « **Reply #26 on:** September 16, 2010, 01:40:44 PM »

adriaan , I can see your point regarding the angular motif .
yes that's a good call_____

The joy of artful association ...

I was getting the Bauhaus/Kandinsky feeling from it. Eye of the beholder is right!

Whoa! Ten the hard way!

But does anybody actually favor the neck pickup on a fretless? Bridge pickup all the way, and turn down the treble! :-)
