Davebassics Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hi there! A long time reader of many blogs and forums regarding bass repairs and builds I've finally decided to stop reading and start doing. I've just started a blog about a project I am undergoing with my much loved jazz bass. I thought I would share this link with you guys because I imagine it would interest some of you! [url="http://allthatjazzbass.blogspot.com"]http://allthatjazzbass.blogspot.com[/url] I'm competent with electronic installations, builds and designs but wood work and other hardware issues will offer a great learning curve for me. If anyone has any advice please feel free to comment! Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essexbasscat Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Look forward to hearing more Dave. If you're considering throwing the old neck anyway, is there any harm in having a go at repairing it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to be fitting a P bass neck to this project though! Was actually thinking about hanging it on a wall as art!

Davebassics Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 It's currently a simple design, it's a box on the floor sort of thing like a sansamp. It's a final year project for my BSc in Audio Systems. The prototype is almost done but have already planned major improvements. I am hopefully going to document my work on it a bit more once uni is finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started following ampeg-a-like schematics and built a wee preamp pedal myself a year or so ago... copied an existing one though! not built from the ground up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davebassics Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yeah pretty much. It's all built modular so anything can be added or removed at anytime. Might look at sticking some overdrive in once I've got the filtering and noise perfected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spent all weekend sanding, take a look! ....
