Very very well deserved!!
Beautiful work indeed :)
Thank you to all involved with PBG, it's a great community and a very rewarding hobby.
Particularly to Adam, if excellent client service was one of your original founding principles - you've nailed...
Beautiful!
Congrats all! There's some really high quality work across all entrants.
Keep them coming :)
Nice save!
& have a damned good show :)
There's some very serious quality going on so far this month!
I bought an unfinished alder body and roasted maple neck to build for my brother-in-law as a birthday present. I got them to do a fairly weird rout for the pickups and they did it perfectly, and the...
Bugger!
How bad is the decal? If it's only a small bit that's been hacked then I can probably find some black decals that you can cut a patch out of and apply. Then you can just clear coat that...
WOW, thank you very, very much! With so many brilliant builds entered this month that is a serious honour.
Huge congratulations to Kick and every entrant this month. I got lucky on the day, but...
This is going to be another variation on a jazz bass, mainly to trial some odd electronics for a separate build I'm going to do for my brother-in-law.
Pickups will be all passive but, as well as...
Pablopepper cut me a perfect one out of perspex. Send him a PM.
Very cool restoration!

This one has taken me 6 or 7 months to finish and is one of those projects that kept fighting me all the way,...
Very nice!
+1 on Wazz's comments about putting the strap button on the neck plate, here's a photo of mine, in the top front corner just below the bolt - it balances perfectly.
I'll be interested to hear how...
Bugger about the buzz!
Glad the sound is good other than that though
Lovely work!
It really is the right shape for a bass :)
Yep Fretworn, trying to highlight that whole center section.
hmmm, it's been a while, but this is starting to come together. Here's a couple of photos just to show things are happening, hopefully in the next month or so it will be finished. It is playable as...
Lovely work!
Just started playing with a Lace Alumatone BassBar and it has a cracking sound so I imagine your's really would roar!
Marcel, If you want to cover postage you can have the J pickup out of one of these sets. I got it cheap from StewMac and have used the P (and it's pretty good) but i'm not going to use the J. it's...
Is the long edge of the fret rocker long enough to cover the lowest 3 frets of a normal scale bass neck?
Wow! Is that Konstantina who won the June GOTM with an amazing pyrographed bass?
Very nice!
