Yeah I'm kinda leaning towards maybe one of each. Paint one and keep one natural. Not the plan at the beginning but the grain is looking well so far.

They’ve arrived! Hope they’re as good as I remember!!!

Yeah one is allparts and another handmade so it’s an option for sure. Waiting for the 62 custom shop pups to arrive today and then a quick dry run once lined up before I shape the body and stuff more accurately.

Hmm was going to paint them but the grain looks lovely. So I’m now undecided. Plenty of time before I have to decide.

Thanks mate, Hated routing at first but kinda enjoyed it once I remembered to take my time and it wasn't a rush. Started shaping the arm and belly curves too and will give it a tentative dry run over the next few days before I commit to the many hours of sanding and sealing. Its kind of addictive isn't it! 😁

All routed out, dry fit of the neck and all seems ok. Now sanding, lots and lots of sanding!! All bits bar pick ups here so almost dry fit time!

Just bought a set, arrive tomorrow

Thanks mate, aye that’s what I thought get as much material out with a drill and then tidy with the router. I’ve got a 9mm set of jogs I bought off the net so they should do for the first run and see how they do. If it goes well I’ll make a hardwood set maybe

Thanks dude, I’ve got up to 600g disks in stock so will use them and see how it looks.

Yep bought a black HCA one, sold it. Instant regret as was awesome so very happy when this one appeared. Will never sell this one. Such good basses!

This just arrived today, bought on here from Ovi. My gawd it’s epic!!!!

Rough cut outs done on the bandsaw, got as much out as poss to make Routing easier. I had to wait for new router bits for body shaping and cavities. Anything I should be aware of with the router bits? Obviously little bits at a time? Do you guys drill the cavities / neck pocket before you router them? Re sanding, what grit do you experienced dudes sand to? Grain filler etc... Hopefully get a big push on this week. All other bits ordered. Can't bloody wait!

Bought/traded Ovi's beautiful Sandberg 5er. what an amazing bass, exactly as he said it would be and more. Brilliantly packaged and a super easy deal. Thanks again Ovi, Cheers Paul

Bloody hell, that’s amazingly lucky mate. Could’ve been a totally different outcome had the old label not been left on. Glad the outcome looks rosy!

Did a trade with Marinus for his Aero Jag Bass. Bass arrived well packaged and it’s a nice thing too. Another great and easy deal on BC. Bravo mate 🤘

Bought a bunch of stuff from Loz, super easy and ultra well packaged. Cheers again mate Paul
