Ah, I see. . . old thread!

🤣

More luck than judgement I feel!!😂

Not very wavy. Should it be? Its hard to tell what it should look like!

Had a go at the contours today. I used a farriers rasp that my neighbour gave me.

I was dreading this part. I havent shaped any wood by hand since i made a dolphin on a stick in dt at 13 years old.😂

Pleased with the outcome.

I need to grain fill the ash one. Not sure if the limba one needs filling or not or just give it one in the pants with some clearcoat.

Brilliant thanks. I did google but didnt find that. Thanks very much.

Action shot of the home made thicknesser jig. Really pleased with it. And the end result.

Hi guys, does anyone know where you can purchaee reaaly good p bass plans? I watch a lot of videos on you tube and they seem to have really good plans. I cant seem to find any. Any help much appeeciated.

I am toying with idea of routing the bridges in about the thickness of the bass plate to try and avoid any shimming being needed later on. 

The Black Limba body is a bit thick at 50mm. So after some rummaging in the garden and shed I managed to make this completely out of scrap. Works really well. It cost me nothing which is just how i like it. The grey noard was" salvaged" from a skip outside howdens. 6ft end panel with a tiny mark.

You have pm

I had a go at routing the actual bass today. The Prejazzion

Found the pickups more tricky.

Then rouned the edges. I may have done this out of sequence with the body contouring.

I love routers!👍

May have a go at the Ash one tomorrow.

Jazz basses are a mystery to me so   where does the larger pickup go? Thanks.

May have a go at a neck after. Just neet to know the order.

Cut neck shape

Fret

Carve?

Thanks

What do you think?

Maple or rosewood?

Longest build ever

  Had to replace the entire roof on my garage so the basses came to a stand still.

Any hoo

Today i gave routing the cavitys a try.

Surprised at tokai Using ply. To be fair As the neck was off, I gave it a set up and a new set of 110 rotos. Sounds thunderous.

Going to withdarw this and use the neck in a project.

Surprised. Sounds great.

Ply!!🤣🤣🤣
