Kiwi Posted Sunday at 02:36 Posted Sunday at 02:36 I'm looking forward to hearing some sound clips! 1 Quote
Silky999 Posted Sunday at 15:59 Author Posted Sunday at 15:59 (edited) 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.

Phaedrus01 Posted Sunday at 22:03 Posted Sunday at 22:03 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 2 Quote

Silky999 Posted 6 hours ago Author Posted 6 hours ago Neck pocket has had it finally adjustment for @Kiwi graphite neck and cavity channels drilled ready for pickup wires and earths. @HeadlessBassist bass is starting to look…well….bass-like. Bum puckering drilling for the neck threaded inserts planned for the weekend😬. 3 Quote
Kiwi Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago That is a nice bit of walnut. What finish did you use on the body? Quote
