I don’t know whether to do it with Chrome hardware as the tuners on the black neck I’m using are Chrome........🤔

I know I’ve been a bit lazy recently!! All the pickups have been ordered and they are on their way from China so I can’t really do a lot more on either the P’s till I get them...............😀

Here’s the pickguard black........😀

I don’t hang about me!!..............😀

The pickup cavities have all been filled and I got a coat of paint on it to act as an undercoat that I can sand flat and the pickguard has been cut...............😀

I’m up the north just at the bottom of Snowdon in the Vale of Clwyd and it’s lovely up here too but more rugged than down south tho...........😀

Correct!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This thread seems to have stalled a bit so I don’t know if people are interested in carrying but here’s a really easy one to kick start it again (maybe)???!

Yeah I think your right I did think the same thing after I posted the pic...........😀

Let alone if you if you make a P bass without use genuine Fender licensed parts they lose their S**t!!!

I have a problem with them because I made a comment about being chuffed with my new Warwick RB Corvettes on one of the threads and was met with a barrage of abuse about they aren’t real Warwicks and they shouldn’t have the Warwick name on them blah blah blah!!!!! 🤬

I have to agree I’ve been on it a few times and I’d like to see most peoples opinions who are on it but I can’t fit my head up their A***holes as well!!...............😀

The problem I’m finding is trying to do a bass line that 1. Isn’t instantly recognisable because that makes it far too easy 2. Try and do one that is recognisable but not too obvious But 2 I’ve done recently have fallen flat on their face because they don't fall under either and also my playing isn’t great so that makes it even more challenging 😳

I have a standard P bass and soon to finish a 51/54 P bass so I thought I’d make a 72 style P bass as well to complete the set!! (I don’t think I’m missing any p bass styles but please correct me if I’m wrong!!) Its going to be P/J pickup config body is going to be bright yellow with black pickguard/hardware possibly a black neck I haven’t decided yet?? but if I decide not to have the whole neck black it will probably have a black faced headstock tho Just got to fill in some of the pickup cavity first................😀

👏👏👏👏🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾👏👏👏👏

That’s correct just the song name now.......😀

Here’s another clue the fellas has the same name as a job made famous by Steptoe and Son!!..............😀

I’ve just listened to the track again and I should have played some of the notes more staccato.............😳

It was a big debut single for the artist in 2016............😀

Here’s my offering???? There’s member on here that I really hope doesn’t hear this as they were a session Bassist on the original song!!!!!!!

I’ll try and do one tonight so has anyone else got one ready to keep things going??.........😀

If your using a template as @Christine said on a previous thread use a guide pin to control the amount you are removing in one pass if it’s more than about 3mm if it’s less than that you could probably remove it in one pass but don’t try and do it too quickly as you run the risk of tear out but don’t do it too slowly or you run the risk of burning the wood which can be hard to sand off?? Whats the length of your cutter is it less than the depth of the body if so you will have to raise the cutter once you’ve done the first pass then go round it again then raise it again etc till your above the top of your body??

By any chance is it Prefab Sprout - When love breaks down??

Your arrows are going the wrong way you never go with the direction of the cutter you always go against it, are you using a template to trim the body or are you trying to do it freehand? I don’t understand what you mean by the uphill/downhill part?

You got a good deal I was looking and the cheapest one I could find was £85 + p&p I really like the Wenge and Padouk neck but they don’t seem to do it as a bass neck and it’s well out of my price range They’ve changed their name to Freestone Guitars but are still selling under Hilimire guitars on eBay..........😀
