lou24d53 Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) I also like that you are aiming to replicate different era P basses, I've already got a 2011 Standard US and building a Custom 54, but I'm also thinking towards a 66' Slab now...to complement my Who covers band...the bug just gets you once you start...👍😁👍 Edited August 24, 2019 by lou24d53 1 Quote

Jimothey Posted September 12, 2019 Author Posted September 12, 2019 I am more than a bit partial to a block inlay so I thought I’d see how this build would look with yellow blocks instead of the standard MOP effect.............. Just the electrics and headstock decal to fit then it’s ready for a set-up...............😀 3 Quote
Christine Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 I would have killed for that in 1976/77 Aside, what have you got as a stand? Post a picture 1 Quote

Post a picture The stand is just a very rudimentary stand that I made I’ll post a pic when I get back to my workshop It looks a lot like this but I’ve filled the back in and put a brace across the front which I’m going to shape a bit so it doesn’t look so square and chunky..............😀 3 Quote
Jimothey Posted September 12, 2019 Author Posted September 12, 2019 This is the mk2 stand............ They are going to be painted and thick draught excluded stuck on to protect the bass................😀 2 Quote

I think that’s a stretch too far even for me!! I’ve been having a little play around with a new style headstock logo, I quite like this one............🤔 2 Quote
