    Test fit the machine heads before the lacquer.

    The Babinga/babinga fretless J neck was made by Freestone guitars. Tucker Freestone is pretty easy to work with. Carbon fiber stiffening rods and standard truss rod and an extended fretboard. Abalone markers. I should have used different markers...though to see.

    I was going to finish the body myself, but have decided to let the builder do it. He uses a product called “ Solarez, I can’t believe it’s not lacquer “ It sounds like it’s pretty easy to use. Here’s a sample.

    First some body pics. The body is being built by a builder in California, USA, PM me if interested. He’s a real nice guy and is very easy to work with.

    I have wanted to build this bass for a very long time. I couldn’t find someone to do the body. I could have, when I was working, done this myself but am now retired. I had access to more tools where I worked. Some of the details will come out as they are done. But it will be as such: Babinga/Babinga fretless neck (Freestone Guitars) Walnut Jazz body with heavy contours (Ray, a builder in California) Wired stereo and possibly stereo/mono Back routed for the controls. More to come on the controls... Tapped J PU’s being built by Tom Brantley Standard Fender machine heads Standard bent plate Fender bridge Dunlop strap locks Special PU positions Total estimated weight should be around 10 lbs. More details to come.

    I would probably never use it. The mute button.

    Both wired stereo. I’m building a third one, walnut body, bubinga neck. It will also be stereo.

    The Acoustic 371 system was my dream rig in my teen years. I had a catalog pic of the on my wall like amp porn. I purchased the 301 cab new in 1973. I was 11th grade. All original. It has a single Cerwin Vega 18” rear facing speaker. 4 ohms. The head I got a few years ago. I refurbished the head case with Duratex. It’s a 1974. It can use two cabs and will do 365 watts at 2 ohms.

    I love my ACC 370 head and 301 cab! The 371 system, Acoustic Control Corp. The head I bought used is a 1974. I refurbished the head case a couple of years ago. I bought the cab new in 1973.

    You are correct. But...I didn’t see any of the newer Acoustic stuff in this thread.

    It is always recommended not to mix speaker sizes. But, you do you. I mix them up many times. Sometimes I like sometimes I don’t. Do what YOU want.

    It’s a babinga/babinga fretless j neck. The J body is currently being built. Walnut. This is the wood I chose for the build.

    I used some tung oil on a babinga neck. Any advice.
