Jimothey Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Haven’t been on here in a while as I’ve been busy trying to build up my business which is going quite well and getting good feedback from my builds Heres my latest build is it a P or Jazz bass I don’t really know to be honest?? The body is made from old floor joists and the neck is a scratch built Oak with Oak fretboard from an old chest of drawers I’m using a Hipshot A style bridge and some modern style jazz pickups……👍🏻 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benh Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Looks great! How did you find the oak when shaping the neck? I used oak as a fretboard and found it a bit splintery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used oak as a fretboard and found it a bit splintery Cheers mate! I found it wasn’t too bad but I use a modern C shaped router bit in my router table to shape the neck, it took about an 1 1/2 hours to radius the fretboard tho but I suppose that’s no difference to Ebony! 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s was a scary 5mins!! 🫣 It’s not too bad on a table when you do multiple shallow passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
