Chopthebass Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 I contoured the edges ( by hand!) . I wanted a chamfered look rather than rounding over. Here’s a pic. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great for stuff like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopthebass Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 I’m experimenting using the Shaper to create a headstock logo. I used a 0.5mm bit and infilled with blue resin. It turned out super crisp! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopthebass Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 I’m wondering whether I should take the fingerboard to the pickup or not. If I don’t, I’ll put some matching wood on the neck to hide the laminates. What do you guys think? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) I would. Looks a little odd to the eye but as a fretless I think it'd be genuinely useful and give you the range of a 6 string. Edited March 9, 2021 by binky_bass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I’d also say all the way to the pickup! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Leave it so we can see the laminates - it looks really good having those stripes that line up with the pale wood beyond the pickups.

Andyjr1515 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Personally, I'm a fan of seeing laminates on the top 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I'd say put the board up to the pickup if you like a ramp under your fingers. If you don't then keep it to the end of the neck and leave the space under the strings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
