7-string Headless Bass. Fanned Frets (Serial 08B024)

This bass is still in the development stage but I thought it would be informative to post the details for anyone interested in something like this. The sketch above is currently all I have other that what I have in my head. We're looking at a 35-32 inch scale length with fanned frets. Neck will be bolt-on. Hardware will be ABM. Pickups will be our own super-hot dual coils.

These are the woods I have in the shop that I am planning to use for this project. Flamed Maple and East Indian Rosewood.

(10/6/08) I verified in the shop today that I have the wood to get this project started. I have plenty of flamed maple and East Indian Rosewood which will combine to make a beutiful center core and neck for this bass. I have an excellent piece of Anjico for the fretboard and will use either Koa or Black & White Ebony for the top. I'm still looking into hardware options, I'm hoping to be able to get hold of ABM single string tuner/bridge components.
