thisnameistaken Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) I got a body, a neck and some pickups from these here forums and made them into this: [attachment=158930:j1.jpg] It could do with some heavier strings (all I had to hand was a set of 95-40 slinkies) but it's turned out to be a really nice bass. Loads of sustain, can't find any dead spots. I put a .1uF tone cap on it so I can roll loads of treble off for reggae stuff and a push/pull tone pot to switch the pickups into series. It goes pretty beefy! Just noticed what a terrible job my phone did of downscaling the photo. :/ Fixed. Edited March 29, 2014 by thisnameistaken Quote
Jonnyboy Rotten Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Ooo that looks lovely! I was wondering what would happen to that neck! Quote
thisnameistaken Posted March 29, 2014 Author Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Yeah I thought it was only fair to show what I'd done with peoples' bits. The whole thing is a bit neck heavy, not helped by the body being a slightly downsized Warmoth J shape, it could probably benefit from lighter tuners (these are massive) but I wouldn't want to drill more holes in it. It doesn't dive much really but it doesn't balance the same way as a normal Jazz. Edited March 29, 2014 by thisnameistaken Quote
