Seems to be holding. Just got to find a way of tightening them at the other end. I've cut a few bits off the Schaller...haven't worked out what I'm going to put in their place, but I'm sure I'll think of something! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrumpymike Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Well, I think the head-stock complements the body shape to absolute perfection (and I like headless basses btw 😉) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Personal taste is difficult to deal with. One man's beef baguette is another man's rycin roll. Who's to say what is correct ?

Andyjr1515 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Anyway, I got bored with the discussion, so I've glued it back on. And in real life, it looks spot on So just wait until tomorrow when no doubt I'll mess something up, then everyone can talk about that instead 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eude Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Another example of a Fender style headstock on a SC body >> I think it looks pretty bloody cool, hope @Andyjr1515's glue work holds up Eude 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjr1515 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Last thing to do before gluing the top on is routing the cable channel between the pickup area and the control chamber And then it's a case of gluing the top on. CONFESS!! CONFESS YOU MOTELEY-MINDED NUT-HOOK! That's its punishment for not responding compliantly to the earlier stern talking-to... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case - at this stage, I have a top whose width is determined by the width of the walnut and a back pitched at the maximum width of a Fender Jazz / Precision so that we know it's going to fit in a standard bass case. Now I have it all lined up for the neck and the body, I can re-look at how best to do the cut-though of the layer cake and - in discussion with @fleabag - whether it will look best as a curve or chamfer. If you assume an SG-type chamfer, which is @fleabag 's preference, then I think the overlap for the back rear bout on the treble side is actually too wide and, if so, I will slim it down a touch - otherwise the chamfer would need to be far too shallow. That's what I like about these kinds of builds - they are a bit of an evolution of design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
