I made this a couple of years ago. She's stage worthy, and no heavier than most other P-basses you'll play.
Buy used 5-string bass from pawn shop (Ibanez GSR 205 I stripped the pickups, already)
Design New Body. (Don't feel like doing necks/fretboards much, anymore. Pain in the butt!)
Then get some raw material, a used maple butcher-block counter:
Cut (This is actually one for a guitar with a Floyd Rose, but lets pretend that it's the bass, cause it looks pretty similar.)
Do a collage treatment, because sanding just takes too much time!
Add electronics, neck, string it up.... MAGIC!
