Wow. Looks fantastic. That finish is gorgeous.
Stain looks great! Wow looks fantastic. You must be pleased.
Thanks, man! I appreciate the kind words! Looks like we both ended up with basses we love!
Looks killer. Nice job!
Wow. This is looking great. Nice piece of wood you have. The grain looks killer.
And great job on the bridge route. Mine worked, but was ugly....
I actually loved the look once you sanded...
WOOOHHOOOOO!!!!! Runner up, baby!
Thanks judges! The feedback was really great and thoughtful. I read it over many times.
Super excited to get recognized. Especially for my first full build....
Ah man, so sorry to see that. It was looking beautiful.
No doubt that you will be able to resurrect this baby, but I can imagine how disappointing this is.
Sending good vibes your way.
That top looks crazy! In a good way. Really unique look. Congrats!
I love the stain. Looks really deep and aged. It's brand new, but already looks like the kind of guitar that you have loved forever. Great work.
Dude! This is really nice!
I wasn't sold when I saw the pencil marks on the uncut headstock, but seeing it cut and sanded - wow.
Looks really cool and unique. Great design idea and execution!
Dude, there was so much cat hair and dust in my finish! I sanded back over and over. I eventually ended up building a little drying booth to minimize dust and hair, but there are still a few that I...
I have a feeling yours is gonna look pretty damn badass. It already looks amazing and it isn't even done!
After staining the neck on my rca-4 also no longer fit.
It turned out to be because wood absorbed so much liquid and became swollen from the water based stain I used. I don't remember how long...
DAMn! That is gonna look amazing!
Andy40, Bass Guy - Thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated.
Andy, thanks, man! I go back in threads to look at different builds all the time. There's so many talented builders here. But the thought that some one is doing that on something I built totally...
Thanks Gary! I loved your ric build. Thought you nailed the stain and color choice. Looks like we both ended up with instruments we like!
Just discovering this thread now. This looks great so far!
Outstanding. Really. I keep coming back to look at the pics.
DUDE! This look killer. I love it. Amazing work. The top is so great.
Here is my entry for GOTM - It is an RCA-4 Bass!
Was a lurker on the forum for a while and this is my first full build.
I nicknamed my bass the "Ravibacker".
Here are the upgrades to the...
@BassTapp I love the truss rod cover. I'm not sure if I can call it that anymore, as it doesn't cover the trussrod, but it looks really cool and original. Great design!
Sonic Mountain, Wayne.Mumford, trv, FrankenWashie, DarkMark, JohnH, wazkelly, Hardcoretroubadour, VonScott, Guvna19, Andyxlh, and Fretworn THANK YOU SO MUCH for the positive feedback. It completely...
Thanks, Simon! Yeah, I am pleased. I was pretty worried for a bit that I ruined it when I had the staining/tru oil problems, but it all worked out in the end. Relieved and happy.
And you are...
FINISHED (Mostly!)
The electronics are finally working thanks in large part to a local guitar tech. Turns out it was wired correctly - for the most part - but I used such long wires that once they...
