For sale: Home made explorer bass body now £50LD


Recommended Posts

I made this a few months ago, but im not happy about the weight distribution of it. I figure i may as well see if anyone wants it. Its made from yellow pine, with sapele wings. When it was first finished, it looked amazing, but something went wrong with the finish, so it went cloudy. There is also a small gap where the wings were joined on the back, as well as a medium chip. If it were properly finished in a solid coat, it would look awesome.

The pickup routes are a bit rough, but a scratchplate would cover it nicely. I was going to make one, but never got round to it. I have the material to make one if anyone is interested.
The back of the bass has 6 ferrules for neck attachment, and is routed for a precision type neck, with a little adjustment wheel instead of allan key.

This is the body:


Closeup of the pickup routes.


Closeup of the neck pocket


Back of the neck pocket, with the ferrules


The control cavity, routed for active controls and phase switching for each pickup, inc battery route


And with the covers in place


I am open to offers as well as trades for pretty much anything.

And if anyone is interested in the neck, £25 O.N.O, and trades. It used to be a fender shape, but i glued on wings and veneers. The is some filler visible, but a solid cover would hide this. it could also do with a refret as my attempt isnt very good. Its also not bound , its just paint under the finish, there are no markers at all on it, side or front facing.
