Chopthebass Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I found a nice 2 piece body blank in my workshop that I totally forgot about! so decided to make myself a 24 fret five string. I’m kinda modelling the look after an Ibanez Adam Nitti 5 string, red with maple neck and black blocks. I cut the body and made all routs. Applied sealer and grain filler. Red pigment was added to the clear coat and I finally got the red I wanted. Now shooting clear coats. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon. Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 That. Is. Red! Love it. Wish I had a workshop big enough to loose a bass in... 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quick once you have templates! What are you building? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethFlatlands Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I have a homemade template for the body and a paid-for one for the neck, I was mainly held up by lacking the proper skills and jigs for certain jobs as it's my first home build. Also, I have a hard time concentrating sometimes which is a bad mix with power tools, so there have been long stretches where I've not made any progress. I'm making a Jazz too, there's a build thread here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
