Love the shape of the headstock Euroa.
Hey Wokka, yes she's wrapped. She whipped it out today for the first time at school band practice and passed her 2nd semester test. \m/
Could it be that we are now thinking of, nay, are compelled to procure and turn this

into a five wire version of this classic of Jaco's?

Better tell the mini buzzard that her...
Awesome pick Euroa. My daughter and I just finished our pink project and had a ball doing it.
Tony's ST-1JR Ultra Short Scale (25'5 inch) Bass GOTM June 2016
We finished just in time...

The new owner is very happy with design
11584
Its very pink

Then it was just a case of nailing everything together, putting the strings on, tuning it and hoping for the best.....and guess what?
11582
Well I can report that the project was a complete...
Next we had to finish the front of the bass. Pink flocked Leopard print contact from Something-mart was the order of the day in the continued battle between my daughters vision and my skill level......
Next, it was on to the other stuff. Using the pickguard that came with the ST-1JR kit as a template, we then cut out an new pickguard from a pearl white blank.

We spent a fair bit of time...
So next was choosing the right colour. One that conveyed the class and sophistication of such a time honoured and classic design...

How hard can it be?...It says Spray Easy on the front......
So we hit April and it was body time.
We needed to make the pickup space larger to accomodate the Tonerider TRP1 pickup. So out came the very sophisticated Mark 1 ver 0 router.....

Seriously Dedman, the creativity is amazing. When micro-me (currently 6) decides to Goth out in a few years time this build will be the template.
Hey Wok, George is a bit of a cider fiend (i think beer makes him feel bloated)...Oh and he doesn't mind a bit of dead animal (hes a lab, so any will do) frozen in a block of ice, we call it a...
Hey Doc, this is very cool and something that I might have a go at in the near future I think....just don't let the Minister for War and Economics know. She's likely to photoshop a beard on me whilst...
This is George cooling his non-existent testicles earlier this year. Weather was a bit hot for a brown dog...

Hey everyone,
This ones a quicky that I though someone might be interested in.
After recognising that we had developed GAS not long after starting out first build, Miss 8 and I set about...
Hey DrNomis, we'll be checking out your mini-tutorials on the weekend. Certainly like the idea of building fx pedals.
The body will be a very fetching shade of O.M.F.G. its PINK! Now, to those of us who are not 8 y.o girls, we might think that having the headstock the same colour as the body makes sense to help hide...
At the end of March we took the neck over to Grandpas to use Great Grandpas drill press to sink 4 new holes that we templated up.
Once the drilling was complete, we then ferreted around for some...
We then went to work on the neck plugging the unwanted holes with dowel..

Cutting off the dangly bits...

and then bogging any gaps front and back..

Waz you are entirely correct. Miss 8 has identified 'her' next build as the HB-4 'cause it looks kind of cool' ....and it may also help that a certain Grandpa is a Beatles nut.
We are going to...
Dedman you would be spot on for Miss 8's psychopathic little sister, and yes andrewdosborne it will involve some pink....ok maybe a lot of pink.
The purpose of this build is to finish with something that my 8 year old daughter can comfortably play.....
Along the way we will see:
a. Is building guitars suitable mantherapy (and therefore...
Hi Everyone, I bought my first kit a few months ago and almost immediately I felt a need, a compulsion to dream large and purchase more...and more etc. Is this normal? Damn you Adam DB and the rest...
