Low End Bee Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Looking around at my bits and bobs I've decided it's time to create a monster. Take one very abused Shergold Marathon body add one early 90s Allparts Jazz bass neck and bodge it together. It will require some neck pocket woodworkery but I have a man for that. I have a badass II I can use. Pickup is stone dead. Wonder if a MM sized one will fit? Got some pots and stuff so I'm only really short on a pickup and common sense. What can possibly go wrong?

Bassassin Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Could be a Fergold. Anyway I think it's a great idea - a few more & we can start a Hybrids Gallery, this can go next to the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=54525"]Prick[/url]. Jon.

Low End Bee Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hmmmm. There's going to be a fair bit of jiggery and lots of pokery around the neck pocket. A fillet will need to be made for a gap between the end of the fretboard and the body too. I'm not using a luthier for this but a master carpenter/cabinet maker friend. It may end up with Queen Anne legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
