Rosche Custom Bass

This is something I’ve been wanting to make for a while.
32” scale inspired by a familiar bass!
Lusithand 800 preamp with Bartolini pickups is a very good combination!

Here’s a Zenith 5 headless off to its new owner soon. I’m loving the new W Series EMG soapbars! Rivera headless hardware make for a very light bass st 6.8 pounds.

Now this is a big pickup!

Waiting on strings for this 32” scale 55-94 inspired bass. Barts with Lusithand 800BMF should be pretty awesome!

Just delivered this bass to a very happy customer! The new EMG WA pickups are amazing!

A 55-94 inspired 32” bass nearing the finish line.

Roasted flame maple really pops!

Here’s Scott’s bass awaiting lacquer and preamp. I’m using Riviera hardware that not only looks great and doesn’t mean I have to compromise the body to accommodate overhanging tuners, but they are also light weight. I mocked up the bass and it weight 6.5 pounds.

This is an interesting build!
11-string headless, with stainless fingerboard.

Two builds nearly ready for some stain. The bottom bass is heavily inspired by a well known model, except slightly downsized body and 32” scale. The top bass uses Riviera headless hardware and final weight will be 6.5 pounds.

My prototype ‘yet to be named’ headless 5. Swamp ash with maple Burl top means this will be pretty light!

Just finished and set up this lovely PJ bass! I still think the Dimarzio P pickup is the best out there.
I couldn’t resist using some of my secret stash of Birdseye maple for the fretboard!
Ready to go to a new owner!
