Random Bass Builds

[Jimothey]

This is going to be for all my random bass builds that don’t really need a dedicated build thread it will probably mostly be filled with when I think “Hmmmmm I wonder what that would look like?” 
 

So he’s the first one I’m going to call it a ‘51 SG! the body shape is more Jack Bruce sig than Gibson style

 

 

It’s a scaffold board body with an old neck I had kicking about, the headstock is going to be matching the body with a kinda Warwick style shape with Black Hardware……..👍🏻

I really wanted a no pickguard Jag bass so I thought I’d quickly make one to replace my current one……👍🏻
 

 

I think I’m going to sand the body back more as it’s a bit darker than I thought it will be once I oiled it?

I decided to sand back the body on the Jag Bass as it was too dark so here it is now……

 

Much happier now…… headstock logo, electrics and set up then it’s all done…..👍🏻

Like a dumb a**e I routed the pickup cavity in the wrong place so I had to remake the body so here’s the new “Krysa ‘51” just waiting for the pickup to turn up now!!

 

 

I’m not sure about the control plate on an angle or whether to have it straight?…….👍🏻

I'd have the control plate in line with that lovely grain.

The SG’51 (I ended up using the original body and I’m gonna use the second body on another build!) and the Warbird are now finished…….

 

I’m keeping the Warbird but the SG’51 is going up for sale…….👍🏻

Nice - I really like how the warbird came out - you could totally imagine someone hanging off the front of a mad max vehicle rocking out with that!

no control plate and only knobs would be lovely too!
