nugget Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Made a start on a P body, gonna be put on hold for a while but I love this wood so much I though I should share some pix with you. It's only roughed out at the moment hence the rough curves. It's gonna be a 5 string but i only had a 4 string pup kicking about for the pix.

Dom in Dorset Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 That's going to look stunning! What fingerboard are you going to put on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What fingerboard are you going to put on it? [/quote] Thanks - I was thinking about birdseye maple neck and fretboard with ebony blocks and binding. Possibly a black or black pearloid scratchplate instead of the tort one. TBH not really sure..... Ta Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yepmop Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Really nice, I'd keep the scratch plate looks better to me. By the way where did you get the Scratch plate? I'm after one very similar to yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey R Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 That body is amazing! I would be worried that a figured maple board may be too much bling, just my opinion though and happy to be proven wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Are you staying natural? For some reason I see a hi-gloss trans finish on it... *burbles insanely* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then I’ve been busy making them for others, I’ve made 3 basses and 2 guitars, got 1 bass and a guitar to make then hopefully I can get back to this baby…..

Jabba_the_gut Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I got a piece of this ash of Nugget........that hasn't progressed much since either!! This wood is just gorgeous and this bass really shows it off. I too will be watching this thread to see how mine could look when I get round to it.
