That's a very good point, I was thinking, since I have room in the bottom of the bass body, to move the neck a bit lower so the pickup and the bridge in order to have more body wood for the neck?

I might have to cut some extra wood from the sides, I guess the body is still too chubby on the sides!

I found the gentleman and the topic on the bass body I mentioned above, here it is ...

Hello again and again, from your favourite (hahahaha) OSB_floor_mrbacco maniac fellow 🙂 I have another project in mind. I have basically sold all the other basses I made/assembled (except for the red and the carbon looking which is still on adverts.ie) so I was thinking of something a bit different this time. A custom bass with sharp edges like the one in the pictures. Pine wood, with a small back layer of MDF ( the upper half of the back of the body). Attached a semi glossy pre-pre-loved neck 34 inches scale with 21 frets (if I remember correctly) which is maple + maple. I might add a quad could humbucker green pickup that I found very cheap on ebay and I might paint it green too, not sure yet. The half of the body has a layer of veneer that was applied before, and I thought to make it a bit more aggressive by sanding it and giving some personality, I kinda like the result, but I am not sure how it fits with the overall idea, I'll have to brainstorm a bit more. I know it is not an original idea, a lot of basses like this have been made, there was a nice person here, from Ireland too, if I am not wrong, who had one, and that where the idea come from. I don't remeber the brand now. .. apology Hardware wise I was thinking chrome all around, and contols cavity on the back (if I succeed this time). I might try the aerodyne style jack , but I cannot guarnatee anything to myslef now ... haha ... Also, I will upload some more picture in the future with the OSB floor for sure, thanks.

Thank you sir! 🙂

Thank you sir! For the control plate, I know it is not straight and perpendicular to the pickups, but I took a standard jazz 70' bass plate, and crop it to my design with the mitre saw! haha ... I will re route the cavity for the control to make it more 90 degrees to the whole bridge/pickups/strings hardware!

The carbon bass is finally finished. I re route the front to host a plate for the controls, as I found too much this time to create an ad hoc cover for the back. This is the final result, on the usual OSB floor that everyone is crazy about! (hahaha). Thanks, and see ya next time folks!
