Hey all

Thought id also throw some pic's of this jazz bass body ive been building to replace the nasty plywood body on an old 70's japanese fretless jazz(solid maple neck) i have kicking around
it got stripped and refinished in sea foam green mid last year & i was happy with the finish but it was wasted on the ply body as it just didnt allow the bass to sing like a fretless should

so i decided that id build a new ash body for it as i had 12 foot of the dam stuff to use :)

Just got to get around to routting the pup and control cavity's(going for rear mounted controls) and for a finish i think im gonna try a gloss Ceruse with black grain enhancement like this Fbass

Hey all

Well a bit of an update on this body build

After doing some photoshopping with a lace wood top i had lying around i decided id slap it on this jazz body



Had a bit of slipage on the lower side of the body during glueing so i had to mix up a little epoxy+ lace wood dust to fill the gap hopefully it wont look to bad once it's dried out and sanded back



Cheers
Steve

Hey guys

thx for the feedback and kind words i dout myself a little less everyday because of them :)



well the lace wood dust and epoxy/super glue combo worked out pretty good i think & i know the lace wood will darken quite a bit once i oil it and the hardware will also cover some of the area
i was thinking about replacing the bridge/tunner with gold hardware but i guess i'll see what its like once its all back together

All the best
Steve
