[/quote] Wow, a P-bass with a bridge where the pickup should be! THEY DIDN'T FOLLOW MY DESIGN! Quote

charic Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I think the rolo straplocks are rather innovative Quote

MiltyG565 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Me and you, Paul, we'd be like the hear no evil, see no evil of the culinary and music production worlds Quote

Skol303 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Posted June 14, 2013 I've got wood! ...literally Paul picked up the materials for the build yesterday, so things are back underway. The mahogany apparently has a nice tap tone, which is great. Hardware is being ordered as a next step while Paul gets to work on the bass itself. I'll keep y'all posted as and when I hear more (especially Milty, who is now the honorary foreman of this project). In the meantime, here are some pics...

Skol303 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 The pace is now quickening on the build... Paul's off to cut the woods today! The neck is going to comprise a central splice of wenge, with two separate splices of mahogany on either side (separated by a walnut veneer). I'll post pics once I have them Quote

Skol303 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 [b][size=6]More pictures! [/size][/b] Paul's plans for a fine looking bass. And world domination, etc. Neck splices: wenge down the centre, mahogany strips either side (x2). I [i]have[/i] got wood Might just put some strings on this sucka and call it a job done. Whatcha reckon? Body (mahogany) Quote
