I have just fitted a set of dots to an ex-fretless P bass neck, which has been fretted ! Nice set of black dots into a maple neck...take a nice sharp 6mm drill bit, mark carefully and drill to a depth of 4mm then smooth off any sticking up with a scraper !! couple of coats of clear coat...job done ! Dave

thanks for the welcome folks ! d

[font="Franklin Gothic Medium"][/font] Greetings everybody! I have been pretending to play bass for over 10 years now...and still learning ! My main work horse is a lovely Carvin AC40 acoustic bass I picked up at the Carvin factory just as I started to play bass. I have since modified it by fitting a nice magnetic pickup plus a blend and boost circuit so the piezo undersaddle pup still works ! I am also a Luthier and seem to be doing more and more basses these days! They must all be getting to be a the TLC age Nice to find such a lively bunch of players & looking forward to the banter Dave

The Fender Mustang is still ongoing, the Mustang logo was going to be airbrushed, but at £250 for that alone (by someone else) I went for a waterslide transfer that will look great once it has been clear-coated. The EVH look-a-like was a pain of a job to do...all that masking and trying not to get black bleeding under it onto the yellow...aargh! Dave www.axshack.co.uk Hmm, I uploaded the photos, but dont know where they are!!! try this link to my flickr account: [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/axshack2/sets/72157626812719312/with/5762919780/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/axshack2/sets...ith/5762919780/[/url][/quote] Ah! I see them now...there you go

Photos of work done would be a great help as well.

Hi All, yesterday a customer brought in a highly modified P Bass that has been breathed on by the AMPRO custom shop some time in the dim and distant past. See Photos at: [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/axshack2/5762275705/in/photostream"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/axshack2/5762.../in/photostream[/url] Does anybody know anything about these folks, particularly just what they might have done to this bass guitar? the AMPRO cavity on the rear does house a battery, and i believe that the toggle switches activate the pickups (I have yet to play with it) but if anyone out there has seen this setup before, or knows anything about it, I would be very grateful for the information (before I take it to pieces and give it some much needed TLC) Regards Dave www.axshack.co.uk
