Woodinblack Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Now I look, jazz knobs are 34mm apart, so there is tons of room Quote
Jimothey Posted May 4, 2019 Author Posted May 4, 2019 Router bits turned up yesterday so got the body all shaped....... The back and sides have been sanded to 240 grit now just got the top to do......... 😀 1 Quote
Jimothey Posted May 4, 2019 Author Posted May 4, 2019 Damn it!! I just played one of my mates 5 string Stingray and that's got me GASing for one so now I'm in two minds whether to carry on with this build or change it slightly to a Stingray instead or maybe make a Tele/Stingray Hybrid?? (I don't know how that would work maybe a single MM pickup??).......... 😀 Quote
Jimothey Posted May 4, 2019 Author Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Well it turns out you can buy a kit Telebass with MM pickup??? 🤔 Or with the pickup further back?? Edited May 4, 2019 by Jimothey 1 Quote
Jimothey Posted May 4, 2019 Author Posted May 4, 2019 Aaaarrrggghhh I need help!! I've just seen this............. Now I really can't decide...............Help!?!😳 Quote
Jimothey Posted May 4, 2019 Author Posted May 4, 2019 Right I've decided this is the winner but a 5er Just got to slightly change the body shape so the waist is a bit more rounded than on the P body......... 😀 Quote

Jimothey Posted May 5, 2019 Author Posted May 5, 2019 That's a very good point!! I didn't realise you could play a Shewee tho?? 🤔 At least I have changed my mind right at the beginning of the build this time not half way thru!!! 😁 Quote

Yes I've heard a queef (I'm too common to use the word queef so it's a Craddock Fart to me!!) but there wasnt a Shewee involved surely if there was a FF whilst using a Shewee it would sound a bit like a Fog horn or playing a milk bottle??

Due to the technical issues involved, we'd need volunteers to research the questions you raise. "Cradock Fart" - Bwahahahahahaha! Quote

I did use her Christian name first but I think it sounds a bit more refined calling it a Craddock instead There's a lot worse names I could call it some might even make a sailor blush!! 😁 1 Quote

Jimothey Posted May 11, 2019 Author Posted May 11, 2019 After careful deliberation I've decided I'm going to do both builds a 51 P bass and a Stingray so I'll start a new thread for the P bass............. 😀 2 Quote

SpondonBassed Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 Cool. I've lost count of how many builds you've done in a relatively short time. Not counting batch-builds, you must surely be breaking some record or other. Quote
