Finished my 5 stringer........ And the new Short Scale Punkcoustic Bass is coming along nicely.........👍🏻🤟🏻

I think I prefer the Yellow!!......👍🏻

Cheers mate Just a bit of blatant self promotion when I'm gigging 😂

Funny you say that I am considering Yellow as well!! It would match my custom strap I made the other week 🤔

Also I started making my back up 5 stringer but I can't decide if I want the body to be black or white?.........👍🏻

I decided to go a slightly different route on the short scale Punkcoustic bass the top will have a bit more of a natural look which will be sunburst into the black back and sides........👍🏻

I’m glad your here I never would have thought if that 🤣

I’ve already done 3 yellow and black guitars so I’m going to do something different time…….👍🏻🤘🏻

Yeah here’s a mock-up of how it will look, I’m not sure of the colour combo yet I’m thinking blue with yellow stripes but that might change?

I’ve started building a 30” short scale that will be for sale soon 😜👍🏻

Cheers mate! I am a bit partial to a corvette shaped body!!……..👍🏻

Here’s my latest build…… This one is going to be my new main gigging bass and it’s a 5 stringer………👍🏻 And here’s a few of my latest guitar builds……..

You’ve got this one it’s routed for a guitar neck but hasn’t got any bridge holes so you should be able to get the right scale length………👍🏻

Well you can’t go wrong with a classic colour combo!!

Cheers mate I thought I’d try and do a different spin on an acoustic guitar 👍🏻

And I’ve also been making some 6 string Punkcoustics……👍🏻

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!! I decided to change the body on the Thunderbird Punkcoustic as it was diving really badly so this what what I came up with instead its a bit of a nod to Dee Dee Ramone ….…👍🏻

Finished both of mine!! Now time to start on the other 2…….👍🏻

I’ve started to play in a acoustic punk covers band so I built myself an acoustic bass and anyone who has seen any of my personal bass builds know I have a bit of an addiction to the corvette shape so I thought why not blend the two here’s what I come up with so far……… Then I thought I’ll make a back up bass so I decided to make it my second favourite bass shape a Thunderbird, here’s just a quick mock-up….…. Then the two guitarist decided they wanted an acoustic each so I’ve cut the tops for them so far they wanted a kind of ES335/Starcaster type shape…….

Thanks for the advice I think I’ll just make the body thicker and just use a spare Fishman preamp I’ve already got 👍🏻

Hi I’m thinking of making a slimline corvette inspired acoustic bass I’m going to make it about 40mm thick so I can’t fit a preamp to it, I know it won’t be very loud acoustically but I’ll only ever play it through a PA I’m thinking of fitting a ceramic transducer pickup under the saddle (Artec or similar) can I wire it up passive or do they need to be active? Also I know with disc piezo pickups if you solder a 0.1pF cap on the jack socket it takes some of the shrill tones away is that the same for a Ceramic one aswell? Any advice gratefully received 👍🏻

Here’s my latest build…….👍🏻

As most of you know I’m partial to a Corvette bass so I’ve decided to try and make a solid body (corvette inspired) acoustic bass don’t quite know how it’s going to come out but I’m going to try it anyway……..👍🏻🤘🏻
