Quick Jag bass build

Recommended Posts

I decided to make a jag bass as I've always liked them but never got round to building one

The body is going to be Satin Black with a White (maybe Black?) one piece Mark Hoppus style pickguard, I haven't decided if its going to be a one volume knob or tone and volume?

The body is made out of a reclaimed scaffold board that I've sanded and filled

The neck is a tinted Maple/Maple with Black block, binding and matching headstock , Chrome hardware, will probably end up looking very similar to this one...... 👍🏻

Heres a quick mock up before I start painting the body.....

I need some opinions on the colour I'm torn between

Black with either White or Black pickguard or Gunmetal Grey with either White or Black pickguard?..... 👍🏻

I think the Jag and other 'odd bodies' offer a psych vibe and deserve something a little stricking, but i like subtle...

How about a purpley Aubergine with black guard? If not a gun metal would be nice as long as its darkish and not looking like car primer... again black plate picking up the black blocks...

Yep, that... nice.

looking at the pickup and control route, as it the body is 'all yours' how about a smaller more minimal scratch plate? like a nike swoosh, or 'comma'  rounded to take in the pup, curved and tapering down for the control and jack...

Not been able to do much on this because my paid work is getting in the way! 

But I've decided its going to be Matt Black with Red pickguard with matching headstock, getting the paint on monday so hopefully I'll be able to get on with it next week!?!... 👍🏻
