Hope they sound awesome too!

It’s been a while, as I’ve been patiently waiting for the pickups to be made and delivered. ! they are finally here, so the project continues!
-
Nice detail where fingerboard grain continues thru truss rod cover. Very nice build.
-
I’m working on an amp less rig, but can also drive a power amp. Lots of memories, and also song mode.
-
I decided I’m a single coil guy, so feel free to buy my 5-string!!!
-
I have a similar one, but 5 string. Lovely basses
-
Hey, does anyone have a 5 string Thumb through neck? I need some body dimensions. I tried finding a good image and using scale length as a reference for scaling, but it doesn’t always work because of image distortion. please message me if you can help! thank you
-
@PLBi messaged you too!
-
It’s going to be turquoise/blue burst high gloss. It’ll really pop!
-
I too remember when they were affordable and you didn’t have to wait 4 years for one! Don’t ever sell them!
-
I wish I was able to say ‘one of my Wals’ 😆

You can get router cutters that are 0.5mm diameter, and I used to cut covers using these before I got the laser. It’s slow going with such a small cutter, and requires numerous passes!
-
I cut the cavity cover using a laser. I did this before glueing the wood to the body.
-
It’s going to have some serious punch with those pickup locations!

Hi, I attached the ash bass by mistake! But here’s a pic of the bass..
-
A bit of fine sanding and the neck fits.
-
I think these are images I shouldn’t have deleted..
-
Ah I realized I deleted some attachments on this thread. Doh! Don’t think I can re-attach images to those messages
-
I ran out of allowable upload data, so had to delete some attachments! Can you see any?
-
Yup, that’s the plan. I’m still waiting for the pickups and once I know the fit nicely I’ll do the copper. I run a ground from each pickup cavity, and bridge, and then ground everything to cavity shielding. It’s the only way to do it effectively.
-
Thanks Andy!
-
Ebony trim piece added at the truss rod access
-
Copper shielding done
-
My plan at the start was to make it blue, but the maple had quite a dark red/brown hue, and a test piece didn’t take stain the way I wanted.
