The body I think is Gear4Music because the pickup placement on them is a lot closer to the neck than on a Fender??

That’s what I thought if it was a starcaster it would be a hollow body not a Jag

Yeah your probably right I think I’ll leave it!!👍

That would make life easier 😁

I’ve always wanted a Jag Bass and spotted this and thought hmmmmmm interesting?? Then I looked again and there seems to be lots of things wrong with it like the veneer on the front and back of the headstock, the tuners seem wrong style and the neck plate says “starcaster”???? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163831228219 I’m thinking its a gear4music body with a random neck but for £20 I might still be interested.........🤔

Oooohhhh that is more than pretty!! Is that Royal Ebony or is that some more Bocote??............😀

After watching a video about Tim Commerford on YouTube I’ve just started listening to Wakrat

I’ve been listening to Those Damn Crows recently Might be seeing them live next month @ Tivoli (near Wrexham)..........🤘

This build sounds really interesting can’t wait to see how it progresses!!..............😀

It definitely does this is my 8th build in 18 months and I’ve got loads more in my head ready to go...........😀

I wouldn’t go as far as I know what I’m doing most of the time I just wing it!! This is one of the few basses that I’ve stuck to my original plan!! But thanks anyway mate.......👍

Almost finished!! I’ve still got to respray the neck...............😀

The body is all sprayed now (I forgot to take any pics tho!) I’ll drill out the pickguard tomorrow and take some pics then...............😀

All the routing is now done just got to tidy the J pickup cavity up a little bit then it’s ready to sand and spray..................😀

Just a quick mock-up, I’m not sure if the MM pickup is too big and looks a bit too much if you know what I mean??..............🤔

Yeah me too!! Must be deja vu from my failed 5 string conversion attempt..........😀

No apology needed mate and sorry again for your loss

Oh I almost forgot and I’ve still got to reshape the headstock..............😀

Just a quick update the pickups turned up today so I can start the routing out tomorrow when I get back to work Just got to order the stacked pots and knobs and a set of Rotosound 88’s so I think my yellow 72ish P bass will probably be finished first..............😀

Just a quick update the pickups arrived today so it’s all systems go when I get back to work tomorrow!! As both my P builds are almost done I’ve started thinking about the my next project I’m thinking that I need a Duff Sig bass ...........😀

Is the bitsa p bass still available?

Just a quick mock-up it’s still missing the J pup but you get the idea...........😀

I’m still quite a noob but I’m trying to learn more theory I understand the 1-4-5 progression but that’s from learning the 12 bar blues and how to create a walking bass line around that progression and that you can add a 7th or use half or full steps or a chromatic step to get back to the root note but reading the last few posts I can’t get my head around it because I don’t understand it I’m finding it very difficult to learn I think I need to find some books and brush up for on my scales, modes and arpeggios to try and make sense of it all.............🤯

I always hate photos of myself I always end up looking like the village idiot if I smile!!............😳

Aaaaahhhhh B*****ks I’m going to have to start over now!!!!!!!!!
