Chopthebass Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Waiting on the custom preamp before doing control holes. Threaded inserts installed for pickups and control cover. A couple of sealer coats and headstock decal applied. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopthebass Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 I decided to add a faded black outline to give more contrast with the ash. A couple more coats to go. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a little too thin so it is laminated to a layer of black walnut. The join is hidden by the binding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopthebass Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 I got the burly bass finished. Well, apart from one gold knob. Wood covers worked out well but I may change the pickups and preamp. EMGs need to be super close to the strings compared to other pickups, and having a wood cover, albeit 1.5mm, I feel this hinders the clearance required. The custom preamp pots have values that are specific to EMG, which is why that may need to be swapped out. It’s all good fun though! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
