Dicey Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 A bit of a labour of love/lockdown; finally drawing closer to completion. Essentially a dream scenario late'64/'65 P bass with a jazz width neck. Fender AO jazz neck, brown plastic front and side dots replaced with pearloid, re-radiused from 9.5" to 7.25", frets switched over to vintage style nickel wire. Stripped of the tangerine nitro finish and awaiting a mild amber nitro to paint. Alder p bass body, need to roundover the edges and finish off the tummy and arm cuts, then it'll be time for sanding, grain filling and spraying with nitro. Completed picture is the vintage inspiration. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicey Posted June 18, 2023 Author Share Posted June 18, 2023 A couple of "in progress" shots; this has been quite a process, involving a bit of trial and error, but very fun! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
