Making a 5 String Padouk-Wenge-Oak Bass

It has been a while since I posted something other than the house project I’m on right now so here is a bass to break it up a little bit.. :D We made this one for a customer, he only insisted on five strings and everything else was up to us. This one is made from wenge, oak, padouk, ebony and maple. Quite a lot of different species but they went together just fine. The body is made from oak and wenge in shape of our spring bass model while the head was custom. Neck is made from padouk and maple strips while the fretboard is made from hard ebony with two veneer layers of maple and wenge. We went for a clean look so no engravings and markings on the fingerboard this time, just a Lignum logo laser burned on to the body. Back electronics and battery covers are also made from wenge wood. harware we used for this build is EMG JX set, Schaller BM Light machine heads, Schaller 3D-5 bridge, Schaller S-locks, Daddario EXL 165-5 strings. I hope you like this this project!
