Chopthebass Posted February 28, 2021 Author 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

Its great for stuff like that. 1 Quote
Chopthebass Posted March 6, 2021 Author 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

Chopthebass Posted March 9, 2021 Author 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
binky_bass Posted March 9, 2021 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
Richard R Posted March 9, 2021 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. Edited March 9, 2021 by Richard R 1 Quote
Andyjr1515 Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Personally, I'm a fan of seeing laminates on the top 1 1 Quote
BassBus Posted March 9, 2021 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
