DarkHeart Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I was given this Aria by Chris `Mr Alpher` Dobson with my intentions being just to turn it fretless as a project but having seen the wonderful things that Andy has been doing with veneer i`ve decided to be inspired and go for a full strip and veneer top and bottom in either walnut veneer (love natural walnut basses) or my old favorite from my kitchen building days cherry. I might also keep it simple and just stick to the P pickup anyway this is what im starting with.

Andyjr1515 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 As my wife would say, "NOW look at what you've done!" Sounds a great project - give a shout if you want any hints or tips (or look at the various threads and if you do it the opposite way to me, it will probably work out much better ) Or as my boss once said, "We've achieved a lot, in spite of your help, Andy."

TheGreek Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Inevitable that your veneer build would inspire others...another thread to watch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 You are now entering a dangerous addiction. One build will not be enough. It will become all consumiming, you may even be contemplating the next one even as you start this one. You have been warned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHeart Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 ive just bought 2 bookmatched black walnut bookmatched veneers.....the plot thickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W1_Pro Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Good luck. Watching with interest. Andy's builds have inspired me too, but I'm not sure Basschat is ready for my particular brand of quality carpentry..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, folks, we'd all love to see your projects and progress - it's part of the reason I do such detailed build threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
