Forth Bridge Precision

[Prosebass]

Whilst waiting for the finish to dry on the Gazzumper I decided to put another Precision together.

"Oh yeah, y'know i just decided to slap another bass together, no biggie". Man, that's crazy, but great!

that looks cool already, and the yellow wash looks even better.

just as a matter of interest, how much do your builds cost?

Looking good sir - like the meaty roller bridge, where do you go to buy schallers?
Battery change - will you have to take the whole 'guard off to get at the battery or are you going to cut a separate access door in the rear for it?

Cheers Al
The Schallers I bought as a job lot on ebay....always buying up parts from there and the Schaller 462's were boxed with the adjustment keys...should of bought more !
I am a big fan of Schaller gear , good German engineering.
As regards the battery the plate will have to come off ! , the Artec unit I am using will last 2 -3000 hours so hardly a weekly occurrence and I am not a fan of a lump of black plastic in the middle of a nice piece of wood !
The plate will be able to be removed without the strings coming off so not a big deal and I may install a power LED on the plate.
But I may change my mind on that ! I like my builds to develop as I go along..

Nice touch - the recessed and angled barrel jack socket. that's intelligent building.
Looks like you shielded the cavities with gold leaf!

Probably cheaper than the amount of sticky copper tape I use...
Its the automatic white balance with the fluorescent tubes....

I'll get me anorak.....
