Thunderpaws Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So. I made a bass a couple if years ago from scratch. It turned out ok but the body was far far far too heavy and the finger board wasn't very well radiused. This time I am going for a P bass look with Wizard PJ pups and scratch plate harking back to 51 - 56 era. So a bit of a mish mash. Body is mahogany in 3 pieces and I will chamber it this time to reduce weight. Neck will be hard rock maple and hopefully some sweet Birdseye maple for the finger board. Today I made up a body template shape and tomorrow I will cut the pup areas in it. Fingers crossed I make good headway with this one.

Thunderpaws Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hello. Have taken pictures but my computer is knackered. Can I add photos from my phone? So far, just spent a few minutes on the pup and control cavity routing. Looking good so far. Cavities are pretty tight on the pickup covers. Need to see if I can source a 3 hole control plate somewhere. If not, I may make one from an alternative material to the usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
