Jimothey Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) I decided to make a jag bass as I've always liked them but never got round to building one The body is going to be Satin Black with a White (maybe Black?) one piece Mark Hoppus style pickguard, I haven't decided if its going to be a one volume knob or tone and volume? The body is made out of a reclaimed scaffold board that I've sanded and filled The neck is a tinted Maple/Maple with Black block, binding and matching headstock , Chrome hardware, will probably end up looking very similar to this one...... 👍🏻 Edited April 6, 2021 by Jimothey 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimothey Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Heres a quick mock up before I start painting the body..... I need some opinions on the colour I'm torn between Black with either White or Black pickguard or Gunmetal Grey with either White or Black pickguard?..... 👍🏻 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) I think the Jag and other 'odd bodies' offer a psych vibe and deserve something a little stricking, but i like subtle... How about a purpley Aubergine with black guard? If not a gun metal would be nice as long as its darkish and not looking like car primer... again black plate picking up the black blocks...

Jimothey Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 If I go grey it will be this kind of colour (matte metallic) ..... 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Yep, that... nice. looking at the pickup and control route, as it the body is 'all yours' how about a smaller more minimal scratch plate? like a nike swoosh, or 'comma' rounded to take in the pup, curved and tapering down for the control and jack...

Jimothey Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 I kind of wanted to keep it a bit of a traditional Jag bass style But I'm now thinking what about Black with solid Red pickguard (not pearloid or 🤮 tort!!).......👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si600 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Tobacco sunburst and tort. You know it makes sense. 🤮 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si600 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Gunmetal deffo, but you'll need to show a mockup with the two 'guard colours before I can decide which looks better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothey Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 Not been able to do much on this because my paid work is getting in the way! But I've decided its going to be Matt Black with Red pickguard with matching headstock, getting the paint on monday so hopefully I'll be able to get on with it next week!?!... 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
