Putting this idea here for future reference...

Rogue body shape
fretless (unlined)
Five string
Long Scale (34")
Orion peg head
Peg head veneers front and back: Indian rosewood
Tummy contour
Satin finish
Neck: flamed maple with two walnut and one ebony laminates
Red side LED markers
Mahogany body
Indian rosewood top with maple veneer underneath
Sustain block
Tailpiece shape undecided (bird, bar, other?)
Chrome hardware (maybe, maybe brass, maybe other?)
Anniversary electronics with master volume
Five-pin for power and stereo output (I already have the cable and DS-5)
Mono 1/4" jack
AXY neck pickup
Fat Boy bridge pickup
Case

Maybe no 1/4" jack and no batteries, just five pin for power and output like 80-1681

I like it.  :)


LED's for darkness, but for the rest of the time...


SIDELINES!  ;D

Greg, thanks for the suggestion, something to consider.  I have used fretless basses with side LEDs at the fret mark and have become comfortable with that, but something to think about. :)

Thanks,David.  I like the natural wood look and feel of a satin finish, but I don't know what satin on rosewood would look like, so something to explore.
