we'd have to do postage I think, how large/heavy is it ?
-
I’d like the home brew book where are you located ?
-
manchester guitar tech says exactly that in his guide; further that one should work on a small area at a time. For this reason I found that a sponge is the perfect tool

not necessarily- it looks fine and fender do have a history of parts-bin builds. He's got concrete proof from Fender its really one of theirs and left the factory like it. I think he's bullet-proof on this one @Grahambythesea fair play to Fender for owning up to the problem.

Could you perform your current role on a Squier Bass ?

of course they do. https://www.samash.com/squier-vintage-modified-jazz-bass-fretless-f06608500 https://www.samash.com/bass-guitars-1/fretless-basses/squier-vintage-modified-precision-bass-fretless-f6808500x I'm going to orlando in about a months time, now I've seen the price in USD I'm giving buying one serious thought. -
@Grangur I have a mighty mite neck and looking good - very slim If heel adjustment bothers you, why not cut a tool recess like US standards have ? five minutes with a chisel, less with a dremel
-
You’ll need to mask off quite carefully give some thought to when and where you can spray and the drying time needed
-
Cheap or value Fender ?
-
yes agree have GG responded ? its looks lovely but it isn't what you paid for.
-
I'd certainly be looking for a written statement from them, about its oddities, just in case the OP ever wants to sell
-
can't be worse than free-hand Not drilling holes till it’s grain filled so the filler doesn’t catch
-
Some white on sealer- not too happy as a) I should have sanded it smoother and b) I lost control for a moment on the left hand side.
-
hole drilling gizmo has arrived drill holes straight

all photos will be attached in future, to keep things simple for everyone.

I was not, thank you attached everything to date
-
i just sprayed a thin white coat, results later
-
even the pickups look very simlar, twas a nice bass, just a bit soulless
-
reminds me strongly of an ibanez srx590 that I owned briefly
-
really very light - I can lift it with one hand - neck dive isnt an issue for me. Cost and look are - needed to be cheap and needed to look different.
-
does clicking on this work ? onedrive
-
i'll try and find time to weigh it. its smoother with the sealer, even unsanded.
-
Don’t know other people can see them

i just put the neck plate on, and marked them. I bought a gizmo from amazon to drill straight holes. Useful also for bridge and ferrules as its totally easy to pink torpedo it up https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B075MHP2TF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Not drilling holes in body until grainfiling and sealing is done.

@BrunoBass bruno, as you know I'm doing a pawlownia jazz - I recommend using sanding sealer as it really makes the grain jump out - see my build thread photos; I've just uploaded an A/B photo of with and without sanding sealer on a piece of pine. Found that the perfect tool for applying it is a clean washing-up sponge.
