Sorry Milty, no new pictures as yet... but here's a bass made out of cake to quell your appetite in the meantime... :D

Wow, a P-bass with a bridge where the pickup should be!

THEY DIDN'T FOLLOW MY DESIGN! :angry:

You [i]definitely[/i] know about my cooking! :lol: Baking is one type of mixing I just can't seem to get my head around...

That's funny, because it's the only mixing I seem to be capable of! :D

Cheers Steve! I met up with Paul (13 Guitar Co) at the North West Guitar Show last weekend and saw the fretboard wood up close - it's a beauty! :)

More info on the build coming soon...

I've got wood! :blink: ...literally :D

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...

[i]The wood: mahogany and wenge[/i]

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 :)

Did I not explain that we're building an air guitar!? :D

One day, my sister brought her guitar into school, in it's case obviously, but a guy in school saw it and said "COOL! Is that your air guitar!?" without any irony or sarcasm...

[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 :blink:


Might just put some strings on this sucka and call it a job done. Whatcha reckon?


Body (mahogany)
