Rexel Matador Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Started a new build today. The body is a poplar and I stuck a thin piece of mahogany with walnut veneer either side between the two pieces just for fun. I have a zebrano top too but this wood is actually quite nice looking so I might leave it as it is, maybe with a stain - I haven't used one for a while. This is going to be my first attempt at a set neck - the shape seems to lend itself to it. 24 frets, passive, J pickups (I'm undecided on exactly which ones as yet). I've made a few basses now, so I'm hoping if I go slow and really pay attention, I might even be able to sell this one. But if not, I'll be happy to keep it of course! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexel Matador Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 I'm never working with Zebrano again. The plane just rips it up. Thankfully it's a very thick top so I might be able to sand it down to something usable. Pics to follow when/if I get anywhere with it!
