JazzRay Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Looking good, slightly exotic for a first attempt but it's looking great. My second bass is on the drawing board, Birds Eye Maple neck and fingerboard, Mahogany Body, hollowed out barring a central tone block, Quilted Maple Top, cream binding to body and neck, set neck with ergonomic heel, EMG Jazz at neck, EMG Jazz at middle and EMG Stingray at bridge, vol and tone for each and a final active tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapp Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Nice one matejj53, very Matt Garrison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matejj53 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 hanks guys yes, it is very exotic for first time obviusly the experienced guys luthiers could do much better than me that is why I wanted to do a copy at first and found woods for a good price. Thanks for comment it is getting there now I need to put bridge pickups and sand it and I will use nitro-cellulose laqor. I really like Fodera MG and wanted to make one for long time (as I really can't buy it yet) but it is clearly just for myself I am not planning to make business out of it. JazzRay- it sound really good where are you getting woods from? check out www.sollerguitars.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
