The next build….walnut Jazz bass

[Silky999]

Just waiting for @HeadlessBassist graphite neck to come from China so I can put together. It is due imminently.

@Silky999 just received the graphite neck today, so now the build starts in earnest. Within a week or two we'll hopefully have a complete instrument.

 

The specs will be:

 

Single piece MGCS Basses Walnut Jazz Body

AUROK Graphite Jazz Neck (courtesy of @Kiwi)

Fender Pure Vintage 66 Single Coil Pickups

Gotoh high mass black vintage bridge

Gotoh black lollipop tuners

Black control plate/hardware with 500k pots

 

Possible additions will be a John East J-Tone control plate/preamp.

I'm looking forward to hearing some sound clips!

So some minor levelling, dressing and polishing up of @Kiwi fantastic neck aided by the Frtlzr system. @Kiwi the neck really is a joy to work on.
 

If you haven’t invested in a Frtlzr yet, its well worth it as it makes polishing and spot levelling so much easier!

 

Getting the neck ready to mount on @HeadlessBassist custom walnut body.

Really lovely neat work. Will be posting the neck I purchased to a build thread soon just waiting for all the parts to arrive. Needless to say very happy! Kiwi did a great job

Sorry for my ignorance but what is a Frtlyzer system?
