@Grangur I have a mighty mite neck and looking good - very slim If heel adjustment bothers you, why not cut a tool recess like US standards have ? five minutes with a chisel, less with a dremel
-
You’ll need to mask off quite carefully give some thought to when and where you can spray and the drying time needed
-
Cheap or value Fender ?
-
yes agree have GG responded ? its looks lovely but it isn't what you paid for.
-
I'd certainly be looking for a written statement from them, about its oddities, just in case the OP ever wants to sell
-
can't be worse than free-hand Not drilling holes till it’s grain filled so the filler doesn’t catch
-
Some white on sealer- not too happy as a) I should have sanded it smoother and b) I lost control for a moment on the left hand side.
-
hole drilling gizmo has arrived drill holes straight

all photos will be attached in future, to keep things simple for everyone.

I was not, thank you attached everything to date

i just sprayed a thin white coat, results later
-
even the pickups look very simlar, twas a nice bass, just a bit soulless
-
reminds me strongly of an ibanez srx590 that I owned briefly
-
really very light - I can lift it with one hand - neck dive isnt an issue for me. Cost and look are - needed to be cheap and needed to look different.
-
does clicking on this work ? onedrive
-
i'll try and find time to weigh it. its smoother with the sealer, even unsanded.
-
Don’t know other people can see them

i just put the neck plate on, and marked them. I bought a gizmo from amazon to drill straight holes. Useful also for bridge and ferrules as its totally easy to pink torpedo it up https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B075MHP2TF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Not drilling holes in body until grainfiling and sealing is done.

@BrunoBass bruno, as you know I'm doing a pawlownia jazz - I recommend using sanding sealer as it really makes the grain jump out - see my build thread photos; I've just uploaded an A/B photo of with and without sanding sealer on a piece of pine. Found that the perfect tool for applying it is a clean washing-up sponge.

i'm at exactly this stage it looks like you've got it quite watery there ? are you planning to use sanding sealer ?
-
there's something weird going on with that nut as well, looking closely at the headstock photo you can actually see where the old logo was scratched away, does it say "Encore"? - or Columbus ? early jap copy is my guess
-
i don't hate him for owning a ferrari, i hate him personally because he is such an utter tw@t ...albeit good lyricist and frontman
-
surely that's more of an impossibility than a mere oxymoron? ** ** everyone knows guitards cannot string such a coherent sentence together

Why do my MIJ 1996 P-basses have different pickups?

@NancyJohnson I was curious about this - I found this discussion https://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=104873 - if you read down to "58", its stated that brass plates started in the 58 model and thus would not be present in his 57 model above (if they are trying for historical accuracy of course) - I've seen them on seventies models, but no later -
i couldn't find one there - i found something similar - see above for the ASIN @alyctes
