JapanAxe Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I favour a rectangle of camouflage netting hung across the front elevation of the Axe residence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 What is it with build your own guitar places? You want to build something different, well, what wood do you want your P or J bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Yeh, I saw that, handy you can go to a guitar parts store and order... a piece of wood! Its true I guess, they have all the bass styles covered, P, J or 'well I don't know if you are going crazy'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftybassman392 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Slightly OT, but we have an ad blocker and I've noticed a recent increase in the number of sites that can detect when you're using one and won't allow access to their content unless you turn it off.

Any scale you like available as long as it is 34". Also the P and J necks seem to have the same nut size? Mind you, the one piece Ash looks good. In the FAQs, it says if you buy a neck and a body, you have to request that they fit (???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
