    My first dip into the world of bass building. Those of a nervous disposition or with a modicum of technical skill look away now. This will require the sort of stomach and mental stamina to make it through an Andy Warhol movie. The general idea was to source all the parts off Basschat so far we have: Westfield Precision neck and tuners from WarPig; Sorry old Mex Precision body from Buff; Artec P pickups from Prosebass; Bridge from Clarky In the coming months I'll be after: White scratchplate; Musicman type pickup; Pots; Strap buttons; Shielding stuff First pics: Rear of body prior to attempt at chemical stripping Deaver Junior fully kitted out in accordance with heath and safety After much angst I took a tile file to the end of the neck to get it to fit the body Well the body wouldn't strip with the Nitromors spray but the head thankfully did. If I'd looked into this properly on here I would have known better Next instalment will include lots of sanding and decisions over finish. There may even be some shielding action but I'm not promising anything yet.

    [quote name='GreeneKing' post='428559' date='Mar 8 2009, 01:25 PM']Still going! Next is my fully functioning 1979 Peavey T-40. I've fitted a new scratchplate to this bass and it's generally used in line with its age but it's in good condition considering. I'm looking for £240. Peter[/quote] £240 for a T-40. A poetic pricing strategy. I'm down with with a raging flu at the moment and slightly delirious, so apologies if I've gone all MB1 on everyone. Very tempting by the way.

    [quote name='BigBeefChief' post='426336' date='Mar 5 2009, 04:05 PM']I've not lost my touch then.[/quote] It would seem not. Corker of a sale thread this, it'll be a shame if the bass sells. Wish I hadn't been working on my Censorship essay for the last 4 hours - mind you there's an outside chance this thread might get cited now.
