    August Guitar of the Month Competition (for Guitars and Basses finished in July 2016)

    Ok, lets get this month rolling. Its all about the bass no treble.

    JBA-4, de-fretted with CA glue fretboard finish. Neck finish Dingotone clear, body FW Jarrah & wipe on satin poly. Frosted pickguard, Tonerider Jazz Bass pups, Bourne mini pots, cloth wiring, Switchcraft jack plug, orange drop cap, Fender strap knobs, Goto bridge, upgraded screws all-round, bleached bone nut, Ernie Ball cobalt flatwounds. I was going to recess the bridge but a small neck shim has done the job nicely.
