    Could ask Zola to redo the Ashdown case in matching purple?

    I appreciate you’ve committed to the headless approach, but another option might have been to stick some extra bits of wood to the existing headstock, then sawing/shaving/chewing down to the desired shape. Headless basses balance nicely though!

    Sounds quite logical to me, Lozz!

    That is a lovely piece of wood. I love how grain figuring can look holographic.

    Outside finished, just need some port tube and spade connectors.

    The handle is more of a tan leather in real life - looks orange in the pics.
  7. Pea Turgh
    Oh and I need a bit of pipe for the port. However, visually, I’m done!

    My super scientific way of determining centre of gravity for handle placement - balance it on a bit of wood! It’s a beast - 5kg. Hopefully that will translate to audio heft too. waiting for two things now; spade clips to wire it internally, and a jack-to-jack speaker lead to connect the blighter up.

    I think the trick these days is to buy only. Too much hassle to post!

    I had a Perspex strat for years. Sooo heavy!!!!
  11. Pea Turgh
    Do it!

    Black for me. Classy.

    Was that Andy’s? Bloody beautiful bass.

    Chrome corners turned up early! Looking sah-weeeetttt…

    Had to paint over a couple of bits, so progress has slowed, but just put the final coat of varnish on the last two panels, and murdered a pillow for wadding the inside. Tried to staple it in but that didn’t work, so went with drawing pins. That plus friction fit seems to have worked out nicely! Feet fitted, too.

    I now have the front grill and back plate. Chrome corners and leather handle still in the post. Just put the last coat of blue on, I shall coat it in matt varnish tomorrow hopefully.

    I fancy something small and daft for my small and daft micro cab (currently under construction!)

    Sanding and filling and sanding done. On with the paint. Accidentally bought satin black, and made a mess of the spray job, so it’ll be out with the sander again tomorrow 🤦🏻 However, I have mixed a nice shade of blue (in emulsion, then will seal it in with Matt varnish). Will paint over the black bit with it too. Maybe.

    Looking at the image above, I clearly used the wrong edge to run the router bearing guide thing along - it dipped in the screw holes. Guess I’ll be using more filler then!
  22. Pea Turgh
    Filler filler filler filler….. I’m amazed at how this is turning out (ie I haven’t effed it up yet). Once the filler is sanded back, I shall be a painting.
  23. Pea Turgh
    After cleaning it up for filler, I realise there is too much tear out to make a good job of a natural finish. I shall go with paint. Fancy a dark greyish blue. Looks like Tuff Cab is all out of stock in the colours I want, so will see what I can get elsewhere.
  24. Pea Turgh
    Roundover done! This ply is a nice colour - contemplating several hours with the sander for a natural finish. Any guesses on the wood type? Very red. Looks like mahogany, but mahogany ply doesn’t exist, does it?
  25. Pea Turgh
    Awesome!
