Thanks it came out ok for a rattlecan 👍🏻

I'm still on the fence to whether I like it or not with the pickguard on? I'm gonna wait till its all back together before I decide to keep it! 👍🏻

After seeing @Peter Popovic refinish his lefty version of this bass it inspired me to refinish the lifeless flat finish on mine but I went down a slightly different route and went for a solid colour, I really liked the colour of the telecision bass build so I went for that colour again Before........ After......... I made a quick pickguard for it to see how it will look and painted it black if I decide to keep it I'll make one out of black plastic instead?

I must be getting a bit more reserved in my old age or it could be that the bold colour schemes I did looked a badgers derrière so time to tone it down a bit 😁

I decided in the end to paint the body an Olympic White-ish colour I think its come out ok? I'm think black hardware will look good? 👍🏻

Byddaf yn postio'ch un chi ar ddydd Nadolig llawen dydd Llun I'll post yours on monday Merry Christmas

Don't worry mate we'll just do a swap 👍🏻

Sorry I meant to add the photo here it is

Hi If there are any budding guitar builders that have any use for it, I have a guitar kit building and setup book it focuses on doing a 6 string electric but obviously the skills will be universal 👍🏻

Cheers mate I'll pm you my address

Yes please mate I'll have them how much do you want for them? 👍🏻

If I was making the body out of a nice bit of Ash etc then that would be an option but its made out of a old scaffold board so I've had to do a lot of filling so its going to have to be a solid colour and I've got some satin White at work 👍🏻

I'm really struggling to find the right butterscotch colour thats not nitro so i think its going to end up being white instead

That looks great! Its inspired me to refinish my Warwick copy which has the same flat finish and I'm thinking of changing the pickups to a double coil Jazz style so its a bit like a $$

Thanks mate will do 👍🏻

Hi Jon Can I have it please I'll make a donation to the RBL later on tonight if that's OK How much do you want for postage?

Hi have you still got the pickguard available or have you put it up for sale instead?

Why does it always rain on me - (Travis)

Soup for one - (Chic)

I'm considering a reverse headstock just trying to find a cheap enough lefty neck Well its kinda yellow-ish if it doesn't go butterscotch then it will be white Cheers 👍🏻

I've started another build which is a tele/precision hybrid I've seen lots of precision bodies with a modified telecaster pickguard but I haven't seen any the other way round so I thought I'd give it a go I've used some recycled pine I had kicking about for the body, Its going to have a maple/maple neck, Tele style headstock and I'm going to finish it in a solid Butterscotch/Blonde White-ish colour not sure about hardware colour yet as both I think suit the colour really well 👍🏻

Quick update the barncaster bass is now the skacaster bass!

I've always wanted a Duff Mckagan sig so I'm going to refinish my barncaster bass to look like one The neck is already black so I just need to rout a cavity for a J pickup, paint the body pearl white (which I'm a bit nervous of as I've never painted a pearl finish so any advice gratefully received) and change the wiring a bit to accommodate the TBX tone control and a 3 way pickup selector switch Hopefully it will end up looking something like this 🤞

In my usual style I decided to refinish the bass as there was something I didn't like about it so I decided to fill in the MM pickup and spray it Matt Black with matching hardware
