The only reason why I thought about changing the neck is because of seeing this one.... But the Rosewood is growing on me now, it provides a little bit of contrast with the white body....... This, to my eye, looks all beautifully toned in like a posh hotel reception. Yours, on the other hand, just looks cool and badass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, matching headstocks only work on necks with Rosewood / other dark fingerboards, like this one! Well done, excellent work.! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBobTTD Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 It looks great! Nicely done indeed. The matched headstock - which I don’t like - looks good and I quite like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothey Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 After all the deliberations and colour changes there’s something about it that I don’t like whether it’s the pickguard shape/colour I’m not sure, but I’m going to be putting a new pickguard on it and make it into a P/J instead I’m thinking Orange will look good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimothey Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) OK there's going to be another change to this bass, I now decided to convert this into a 5 string Tele or Precision I need to order a 5 string neck, bridge and pickups, I'll custom make the pickguard to fit this body The body I'll keep white and I'm still going to do the pickguard orange I'm not sure about whether to change the hardware to black or keep it chrome I'm then going to use the neck off this one on my telecaster shaped body build 😀 Edited June 22, 2018 by Jimothey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
