The next build….walnut Jazz bass

[HeadlessBassist]

Well, it's been yet another epic traveling day, starting off from Derbyshire straight to Northampton to pick up a sales bass for a friend, followed by a trip to see @Silky999 for some routing action in the workshop, then onto another sales bass pickup from  Hemel Hempstead, and finally to Kensington for a lovely Italian dinner and a great evening of bass chatting with @themoo and the obligatory long haul back to the East Midlands.

 

So, what about the 'routing action' I hear you ask? Well, I'm not sure who was the most nervous, but the walnut/graphite Jazz needed to lose a little mass, so we decided to do some chambering - yes, obviously leaving a neck-width central spine giving clear 'tone block' vibration transmission from the neck to the bridge. Anyway, it was very cool to see Silky at work and as always, I am very grateful for his time, thoughtfulness and thorough research. 22mm I tell you. 22mm exactly!
