PaulThePlug Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Attention: Woodworking Type Peoples... Would any of you be able, and like to take on a 'Fill 'n Re-Route' job? In my quest for my perfect bass i have an Ibby SR Body in need of a makeover... Simply(!)... # Wooden Block 'Humbucker' Fill the existing pickup cavities, # Wooden Block 'Batt Box' Fill the rear cavity (Needs to be filled for new pickup mounting...) # Wooden Dowel fill 'Shaft' the 3x EQ holes a 1x Switch Hole, Then... # Route for a Single Split P in the Sweet Spot, or 10mm - 1/2 forward, (will it make a huge difference in sound?) For an easier-on-the-eye middle to the original front cavity. Some pics 'n blah blah in the post below. Any Takers? Ta Muchly...

Andyjr1515 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I've thrown my hat in the ring for this - but it is on fairly long leadtimes. If anyone's itching to sort it sooner, then I'm sure @PaulThePlug would be happy with that. I would be happy to finish the top with a veneer whether or not I do the fill and rout too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
