Bored Budget Bass Build

[kodiakblair]

Very bored so used up some bits laying about the house.

 

Freebie paulownia body, seller claimed to be in London and gave 5 day delivery time. I got a refund after 4 weeks of excuses. Turned up from China the next day.

G4M neck bought from here £18

Entwistle PBXN. £10 from here,came in 2 halves with no covers or wire.

Varitone pot. From spares drawer,£2.50 to build inc caps.

Rest from spares box.

 

Black ink and poor attempt at silver grain fill £10 Murder to get a decent photo.

 

  

 

Very pleased with the action. Test fit showed it needed a shim,got it bang on 1st attempt 👍

 

 

6lbs and £30 all in 😎

First time I've used it Andy. Aye it's light and it's bloody soft too 😀 Only holes bored were the 4 neck screws and the bridge ground.

Bridge,strap buttons and scratchplate I just put in by screwdriver 👍 On the strap it doesn't dive as much as I expected.

 

A mate has a paulownia jazz body due some time next month,glad I've had this one for a test run.

Winsdor & Newton black ink then covered in silver leaf Rub & Buff wax. Boy in the YT video said to use teak oil to wipe away the wax.

Bugger never let on how messy a job it was 😄
