Nice work Danny,  You were right about the peghead on that bass.  Too bad that thing fell on hard times.  Amazing how another 30 years and a million miles can make you look so much older.

Cool looking home-made bass...how did it sound?

Is that a neck off an electric bass?

The sound board came from an old piano (1890'ish), the sap had crystallized and I was building mandolins out of it.  As far a sound goes, we thought back then that is was good.  It fell apart in 2004.  The neck is maghogny, hand made, with a Fender type peg head.
