I'm back at work now so I have started shaping the body just got the belly and arm carve to do I'm putting soap bar pickups in this build they should be with me next week at the latest and Ive ordered the preamp nothing special but I'm a bit concerned as this body is only 30mm thick that the push/pull pot might not fit???😳

Not in the same league as most of the other basses on here but I like it........ My 'orca' bitsa tele bass 😀

Little update I decided to go back to the original black pickguard which I think looks better....... 😀

I have 8 but 4 aren't finished yet!! Finished: Bitsa Jazz, Bitsa 4 string P, Quincy Monaco, Bitsa Telebass Unfinished: Bitsa 5 string P, Ibby 5 string (made new body), 5 string scratch build and 4 string custom But I've got plans to build about another 4............ 😀

I agree that fretboard is stunning it almost seems a shame to cover it!! 😀

Please accept my sincere apologies and hope this goes some way for my penance

I started contouring the body yesterday and rounding off the edges but forgot to take any pics! But I'm off for a week now so I'll crack on when I get back to work 😀

No my inspiration was from a Fortress I had never heard of Tom Clements basses? I just googled it and they are really nice aren't they!!.............

Body is all cut now! Just going to start sanding and rounding off the body.........

I used, sorry I meant borrowed some 'spare' shower door runner wheels I've decided to do the original body shape again 😀

I made myself a router skid to help flatten the body blank its no way as near fancy as @Andyjr1515's but it does the job...... (just!!) 😀

Here's my offering

Yeah we can sort something out nearer the time mate

@owen I'm up for a road trip

Yeah I plugged it in on my little practice amp I keep at work and it has a really nice warm tone and a nice thuddy tone when you roll the tone up and down on passive and when on active you can really turn the bass up so much so that my little amp started farting!! Maybe it's just my amp but there's not a massive difference between the tone of the neck and bridge pickups, the neck is a bit more trebly than the bridge but all in all I think it sounds good!! 😁 Yeah that neon orange P does look nice and for £99 you can't really go wrong!!

Sorry my mistake I meant to put 19music.co.uk

Hi has anyone got a printable pickguard template for a 5 string P bass?? I searched on the net for one and couldn't find anything suitable?!?!

Just took delivery of this bass £149 free p&p from 19MUSIC.CO.UK I've always wanted a Warwick Corvette but can't afford one so when I saw this I just had to buy it and I'm glad I did!! Here's the specs: Build quality: the build quality is great lovely natural Ash body, feels like your playing a much more expensive bass Finish: The Satin finish is flawless and the finish on the neck feels really nice Playability: Straight out of the box the setup was very good, the action is nice and low. The fret ends are really smooth and only a slight buzz from the low E which a small adjustment to the saddle sorted it right out Sound: I haven't had chance to play it through an amp yet as the kids were in bed so i'll have to edit this review when I play it properly Conclusion: I absolutely love this bass the build quality, finish etc is exceptional for the price. It has instantly become my go to bass!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a budget bass 😀

Updated photo just took delivery of a great little bass the Quincy Monaco (2nd from the left) I've got another couple of builds in the pipeline so expect another update soon

Your work looks great!! but I wouldn't want to ruin a good fire by putting a Ric on it!! 😁

😁

Here's how the back detail will look: @Andyjr1515 your definatly right that demarcation line makes a hell of a difference 😀

They are stunning basses but I'm more of a warwick fan problem is I can't afford one so I have to try and make my own (ish) ....... 😀

I think I'm going to make the other body anyway as it is a project I've thought about doing for a while and see which I prefer once it's done?? At the moment when I look at the body all I can see is the repair!! 😳
