Trades wise, from one end of the scale to the other I am on the lookout for a Double bass! (Can add cash).

Thanks for the comments it is a fine bass.

Just to add I'd also consider trades for a short scale or micro ACG 4 string. 

I put this together at the weekend.

Had a bit of a nightmare with a neck I purchased on here. Had to return it and it sat with Parcelforce for a week, that persuaded me to just use what I have. So my silver series squire P became the main donor, little nerve racking as I did like that bass it punched above its value for sure. Everything matched up pretty well though so no extra holes required (phew).

The build now has CS 62 P pups and a tonestyler. Strings are La Bella copper white nylon tapewounds 760C. They are a lovely string but think it could be better suited with something else or at least the smaller gauge. Shame I thought I'd give those strings a try but it's the second bass they don't quite work on (they went proper crazy on an unshielded Lakland).

I will probably get a parchment plate made up in time but the black matched the holes so got first go.

Nice little project. Might up the ante a bit and try and carve a neck now, any excuse to buy new tools!

I have some better tort in celluloid (but for a P)

Suit? Thus is just an example 

Much nicer tort that..

More coats of Tru oil to go but had a play with some guards.

Parchment would probably be better than mint but it gives me a sort of idea. Not a particularly nice example of tort either!

Funny how I can admire others basses and think they look cracking for example with a perloid guard but know it's just not something I want. Same goes for gold hardware, can look killer but I just don't dig bling.

Body taken to 600 grit, cavity painted with conductive shielding paint, first layer of tru oil applied.

Have read many different accounts on how many coats of tru oil people use. I'll try and be patient and see how far I get.

Latest plans looking like chrome hardware, hopefully a roasted maple neck and then pickguard dilemma's!!!

I bought an Omega bridge from Andy.

Comms, Packaging, delivery all first class. He's a gent as most on here will know! 

Bought a pickguard from Iain.

Everything first class wouldn't hesitate to deal again. Top Man.

Met up with Brian today for a face to face deal on a bass. 

Excellent communication and a very straightforward deal. He's a gent and I wouldn't hesitate to deal again.
