    Lovely looking bass!!!! Love the spalted beech bass aswell !!......

    Couldn’t agree more with this statement!! I have serious GAS but I can’t afford to buy what I desire so I’ve decided to either make my own version for a fraction of the price or upgrade a bass that I like playing

    I didn’t think out turned out bad for £90 all in....... Now I’ve just got to learn to play it better!!
  4. Jimothey
    For that kind of money I hope they are!!! I would have to sell my truck to afford a bass like that!!!.......

    No it was really nice to sand and finish I kept mine Natural so it was literally seal the body then 5/6 coats of thinned down poly Flatten and polish

    You just beat me to it

    Thanks that figured Olive Ash which is in the same family as Olive but slightly different grain colouring and pattern
  9. Jimothey
    The first Orange bass looks nice but so does the Olympic White!!!..... But either one would be good looking bass!!!......

    The only olive topped Guitar I could find is this....... Looking at it on a guitar I’m not too sure now But where as this I really like..... Except if I do it, it would be Wenge top and bottom with a pine core and not a neck thru.......... Oh and chrome hardware...........

    I was swaying more towards the white Ebony, Olive or the Wenge I thought the Olive looked a bit different as I haven’t seen it used as a guitar top before (to be fair I haven’t looked tho).....

    Looks nice!! I really like the paulownia bodies they are cheap and light and sometimes have a nice grain pattern I’ve just done a Jazz with a paulownia body aswell, I didn’t grain fill it as such I just used thinned down poly and before it was dry I sanded it and it makes a slurry that you wipe off and it seals the grain (a tip given by andyjr1515) what finish you thinking of doing?.....
  13. Jimothey
    I might be wrong I’m sure someone will correct me if I am but as I understand it the higher the resistance means more treble so they recommend 500k pots for humbuckers as they aren’t as trebly (I think that’s a word) as single coil which sound better with 250k pots As fat as the finish goes @Andyjr1515 or @Jabba_the_gut are the ones to speak to they can probably advise you a lot better than I could Goid luck with the build and post your progress!!....
  14. Jimothey
    Yeah that’s what I thought to start off with but I dont know if it just looks like grain filled ash the other contenders are: Santos Rosewood Spanish Olive Red Ebony Or Classic Wenge too many choices!!!!
  15. Jimothey
    They definitely looks better with the inlay off centre !!....
  16. Jimothey
    Yeah the issue is that as I’m doing a 2+2 having a fender type string tree I think will look odd I could use a bar type string tree which would look ok Thats what I thought but I just wanted to check
  17. Jimothey
    All I’m concerned about is the strength of the joint? Also It just seems like a lot of work instead of fitting a £3 string bar but I think it will look better tho??...

    The neck I’m thinking of buying is a full paddle flat headstock and I want to do a 2+2 tuners, so do I need to angle the headstock? I don’t really want to use string trees What would be the best way of doing it? my thinking is modifiying the neck like this or is there an easier way?
  19. Jimothey
    I just wish my knob was that big!!!
  20. Jimothey
    I’ve been looking at body timber/finish options for this build and I’ve decided on Red Grandis body (because I can get it very cheaply) with White Macassar ebony veneer front and back...... Or Pine body with Wenge veneer front and back (cheaper option).......in case you haven’t guessed I’m looking for a nice contrast Then probably a wipe on poly finish
  21. Jimothey
    Im sure you don’t really mind!! I think swifts on top and maybe some MoP filigree round the sides!!
  22. Jimothey
    I thought you never take the easy option!!.....
  23. Jimothey
    Very nice!!! TBH I’m not keen on the MoP inlay but each to their own
  24. Jimothey
    Yeah it was fun building it but it was just a test that didn’t turn out quite right for me so I’ll have to wait and see if the new shape/size is better
  25. Jimothey
    No your right I wouldn’t!!!!! Any more of that talk and I will report you!!!!!
