A man and his Jazz bass.

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

If only there was a 'Like' button on basschat!

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 ?

I had considered that and still might look more into it. 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!

your blog says you have designed your own preamp, out of interest what kind/based on?

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.

sorta overdrive able type thing? 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 :)
