Hey guys!
The new episode drops today!

Episode 3 goes over the needed accessories prior to creating your body template. This to me is the most enjoyable part of the design process. You really get to visualize what your finished bass will end up looking like. I go over the following accessories, but figured I'd let you in on which ones I chose to go with:

3. Bridge- Badass Bridge
Next week I will be going over pickup selection, active/passive circuits, and pots!https://soundcloud.com/tonys80595/low-end-luth
