    Still waiting for the pickups! But found time to sand and buff. I’m loving the flame!
  2. Chopthebass
    Yup! I believe only 4 string bridge just now, but hoping for a 5 sometime in the future.
  3. Chopthebass
    Urethane I think. Yeah I know the real ones are aluminum.

    I came across a guy that pressure moulds them. They aren’t cheap though
  5. Chopthebass
    Not a lot of progress, but just seeing how it looks with the knobs. Body still needs sanding and buffing.
  6. Chopthebass
    No more progress! I’m still waiting for the pickups to be finished.

    Thanks! I’m using WURTH Euroclear 2K. I use the 4:1 version and not the 2:1 it builds very well, and buffs great.

    You have to be a certain age to get that! I got it! 😆
  9. Chopthebass
    Thanks! I lucked out getting a load of this birdseye!

    Frets are in the 10” to 14” radius fingerboard.
  11. Chopthebass
    Ah that’s a single cut style build nearly finished
  12. Chopthebass
    Time for some body sanding/buffing, and frets
  13. Chopthebass
    I will! Chris is a right character! Great to work with
  14. Chopthebass
    Thank you!
  15. Chopthebass
    It’s my favourite fingerboard wood 👍
  16. Chopthebass
    Some lacquering! I like to put a couple of coats on maple fingerboards before fretting. I don’t like the Fender method where it’s flooded with lacquer after frets are in!

    I was in two minds whether to go with a dark fingerboard. It was almost going to be ebony with simple dots. But the birdseyes were speaking to me!
  18. Chopthebass
    No, I thought about cutting wood covers before glueing the top on, but I’m making ebony covers. Mainly to mimic Wal as close as I can.
  19. Chopthebass
    You mean rear mount the pickups? I have done that, but with this build the strings will be too far to work well.
  20. Chopthebass
    Matching headstock finished. I’m reluctant to cut pickup holes until I have them! Still waiting on Bass Culture.

    Test fitting the preamp. Loads of room! waiting on the audio transformer for the balanced DI output
  24. Chopthebass
    Test fitting the XLR and locking jack.

    I’m replicating the plastic truss hole trim piece from ebony. I epoxied a block into the body and made a trim piece for the top. I’ll need to try rout a round bottom slot for access
