1/4 scale upright bass my 9 year-old daughter helped me build. This is her home practice instrument as an alternative to buying or renting a cheap student-model instrument. Figured Maple body and neck with purpleheart fingerboard.

Thanks Diglydog! A new bass amp arrives tomorrow along with delivery from CB Gitty stuff in the mail so I'm itchin' to plug it in and break some windows.
Thanks PK! Sketching up a 3/4 size now. Maybe the same dragon theme or something different. I have some old vacuum tube lookin' things, a copper coil, magnetron, . . .
Thanks Uncle John. A lot of artistic expression in this one and my daughter was a great help early-on. I've already marked out her 12-bar progression on the G-string. Can't wait for piezos from Gitty to arrive tomorrow. ;)

Eric - what a nice bass! Echoing several others on your great choice and use of woods! Cool as hell!

That's a really tidy piece of work - simple but elegant lines :-)

90 % inspired 10% jealous
awesome build, she will enjoy this so much more than any rental,and probably stick to learning because she has so much more vested into it
