    @BrunoBass after seeing your P bass!!! I can’t get out of my head how cool this build would look in Bright Orange but I’m now tempted to not have a pickguard

    I prefer a satin finish when having a painted finish but when I did one with a gloss finish I used meguiars ultimate compound polish as I found it not as harsh as t-cut

    Yeah I’ve got some scrap so I’ll give a coat to see how it looks, I’m hoping that the difference in colour between the sap and heartwood shows a bit more when I clear coat it......

    Well that’s quite lucky that I can solder (Also I can Arc/Spot, TIG, MIG and braze weld) and have a decent soldering iron so it shouldn’t really be a problem

    I completely agree with you, I always use car paints aswell I find them a lot more forgiving than Nitro

    Looking good!!!! I’m really liking the Orange

    Thanks I was really happy when I found that board in the shed as it was really clear of knots and the fact it’s got a slight difference in colour between the sap and heartwood was very appealing to me I’m not sure whether to leave it completely natural or stain it down slightly to a maybe a light honey colour??......

    I don’t see why it won’t be a nice playable bass that you can gig if you take the time to set it up properly

    I thought it would do but I just wanted to check, that’s a result tho I’ve got about 5 rolls of Alu tape left over from a ducting job I did a few months back ........

    I want to shield the pickup and control cavities and was wondering if self adhesive Alu tape would work as well as Copper tape????
  11. Jimothey
    Now that my other build is well underway and waiting for some black hardware I thought I’d try and push this one on...... I’m going to fill the old pickup cavity and make the new template so I can rout out the two new MM pickup cavities then get the body finished while I’m waiting for the pickups to arrive.....
  12. Jimothey
    My Jazz and my Ibby are the same both pickups are the same size

    I was gonna try and save a bit of money by putting the chrome back on, but I’m thinking your right it needs to go black.....
  14. Jimothey
    Couldn’t get as much done as I hoped today..... Finished the neck pocket and started the belly carve but that’s about it!! I’m not sure whether to do the headstock black or sand it back to maple?? Im not back in work till Friday so I’ll get some more done then.......
  15. Jimothey
    Looking great!!!! I see what you mean about it looking White but either way I like it, Definite improvement on the Sunburst......
  16. Jimothey
    I’d like to say I planned it that way but.......
  17. Jimothey
    Thanks I think it’s a much better shape than the original-ish body shape........
  18. Jimothey
    Managed to get some more done today finished shaping the back and got the arm carve cut done (I don’t know if it needs to be a bit bigger) Also got most of the routing done just need to remove the bulk of the neck pocket Tomorrows jobs are the belly carve, sand down and fill little bits of the sides and hopefully the control cavity........
  19. Jimothey
    I definitely think Orange as you see a lot of vintage white P Basses but I haven’t seen many Orange ones......
  20. Jimothey
    My vote goes for bright Orange!!!! Proper Tango style!!! I buy most of my pickguards off Amazon or EBay for less than a £10er I don’t see the point in spending £30-40 on a proper fender one that looks exactly the same......
  21. Jimothey
    Got the body all sanded and started shaping it Got the top done and started the back but got to go back to work so I’ll do some more tomorrow.....
  22. Jimothey
    Managed to get a bit more done on my lunch break yesterday I made the alterations to the size for the neck pocket it’s not that dramatic but it makes a difference I’ll be sanding all lunchtime and hopefully start getting some shaping done I also started making my neck pocket and pickup routing template Hopefully post some more pics later on today.......
  23. Jimothey

  24. Jimothey

  25. Jimothey
