My Lastest Build

[Jimothey]

Hi been a while since I’ve posted on here but here’s my latest build……..

 

The body is a scaffold board back and a book matched Sheesham (Indian Rosewood) top reclaimed from an old dining table…….👍🏻

Good to see you back Jimothey.

What does it look like without the scratch plate, before ya drilling the mounting holes?

Yeah I’ve still got to reshape the headstock 👍🏻

This was before I routed it……

You know me too well Andy of course there’s was a next one I made a short scale Acoustasonic style Bass that I use for my Acoustic Punk tribute band 

 

 

In the pipeline is a 30inch 2 string Cigar box Bass 

 

 

[Andyjr1515]

Excellent! ☺️

[Jimothey]

As most of you know I’m partial to a Corvette bass so I’ve decided to try and make a solid body (corvette inspired) acoustic bass don’t quite know how it’s going to come out but I’m going to try it anyway……..👍🏻🤘🏻

 

[Jimothey]

Here’s my latest build…….👍🏻

 

[Jimothey]

I’ve started to play in a acoustic punk covers band so I built myself an acoustic bass and anyone who has seen any of my personal bass builds know I have a bit of an addiction to the corvette shape so I thought why not blend the two here’s what I come up with so far………

 

 

Then I thought I’ll make a back up bass so I decided to make it my second favourite bass shape a Thunderbird, here’s just a quick mock-up….….

 

 

Then the two guitarist decided they wanted an acoustic each so I’ve cut the tops for them so far they wanted a kind of ES335/Starcaster type shape…….

 

[Andyjr1515]

Love those, @Jimothey

[Jimothey]

Finished both of mine!! Now time to start on the other 2…….👍🏻

 

 

 

[Jimothey]

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!

 

I decided to change the body on the Thunderbird Punkcoustic as it was diving really badly so this what what I came up with instead its a bit of a nod to Dee Dee Ramone ….…👍🏻

 

[Jimothey]

And I’ve also been making some 6 string Punkcoustics……👍🏻

 

[Andyjr1515]

Love 'em!
