Generic Bass body into Jem bass

Yes...my febil mind brought me to making a jem-style bass.

Right now, I'm working on the monkey grip...and so far it looks pretty damn good...

I'm gonna strip the paint off it, and turn it into a jem7vwh style body...white with gold hardware...just no lions claw...obviously

What! You can't make a 4 String Lo-Pro Edge out of a stop bridge and
some paperclips?!? (sigh)

I'm dissapointed in you brother...

LOL!

No, no...all the hardware is gonna be typical bass hardware..but just gold

awwwwwwww c'mon, you can put a small lion's claw in that!! Do it do it!
<ahem> even if it isn't out of necessity...

I guess I could put a claw that looks like it's potruding under the bridge but stops there...

Cool. Looks slightly bigger than a standard Monkey Grip, which is good cuz it fits the bass better. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Yeah, It's just a bit bigger than the jem grip..but not as big as in the picture...I think the angle and skew of the pic messed it up.

Hey, there was a RG-shaped body on some Ibanez bases way back. I've seen them in the store but I don't think I have a catalog with them in there. Those were probably very short-lived.
