Just finished my first tenor and thought I`d take the liberty of posting a photo.

It`s tuned GDAE and I`m really quite surprised at the fullness of sound considering there are only 4 strings:grin:
As is pretty obvious, I am a big fan of Warwick basses......trouble is....now I`m contemplating a mini Rickenbacker (or maybe a Precision...or maybe...:disbelief:

Very cool. Did you make/wind the pickups yourself, or did you buy them? If it's the latter, what are they? Congrats on a beautiful instrument.

I like it. It's not too far from a Mosrite Ventures look.

The pickups are home-made housed in jazz bass covers - 6k each, alternate polarity/wind.
Push/pull volume pot wired humbucker series/parallel .......I love playing chords in the parallel setting.....must be something to do with tuning in 5ths.......mmmmm!
I am the proud owner of this tenor and it is lovely ! I've changed the tuners and knobs for black ones, looks as good as it sounds !
