Jimothey Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) This is going to be for all my random bass builds that don’t really need a dedicated build thread it will probably mostly be filled with when I think “Hmmmmm I wonder what that would look like?” So he’s the first one I’m going to call it a ‘51 SG! the body shape is more Jack Bruce sig than Gibson style It’s a scaffold board body with an old neck I had kicking about, the headstock is going to be matching the body with a kinda Warwick style shape with Black Hardware……..👍🏻 Edited June 8, 2022 by Jimothey 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothey Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) I really wanted a no pickguard Jag bass so I thought I’d quickly make one to replace my current one……👍🏻 I think I’m going to sand the body back more as it’s a bit darker than I thought it will be once I oiled it?

Jimothey Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 I decided to sand back the body on the Jag Bass as it was too dark so here it is now…… Much happier now…… headstock logo, electrics and set up then it’s all done…..👍🏻 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothey Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 Like a dumb a**e I routed the pickup cavity in the wrong place so I had to remake the body so here’s the new “Krysa ‘51” just waiting for the pickup to turn up now!! I’m not sure about the control plate on an angle or whether to have it straight?…….👍🏻 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I'd have the control plate in line with that lovely grain. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothey Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 The SG’51 (I ended up using the original body and I’m gonna use the second body on another build!) and the Warbird are now finished……. I’m keeping the Warbird but the SG’51 is going up for sale…….👍🏻 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloke_zero Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Nice - I really like how the warbird came out - you could totally imagine someone hanging off the front of a mad max vehicle rocking out with that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
