Thought I better do the right thing and start a new build thread.
So far all I have done is open the box and check contents.
I checked the neck in the neck pocket. It's a pretty snug fit has a little bit of wobble room which is OK as the 'natural' resting spot of the neck has it ever so slightly out of alignment.
I'll clamp it all together for a "dry-fit" photo tomorrow evening.
There are some changes to the kit that I will do.
I'll try with original pickups and if I like the sound they'll stay other wise I'll get some customs hand-wound by a guy in Melbourne. He has done pups for another of my basses an old Cimar(by Ibanez) Jazz bass I restored last year.
I have ordered new bone nut blanks and I'll shape this and replace the supplied nut.
I will also replace the bridge I like the look of the BABICZ FCH bridge available from PitBull's site.(OUT OF STOCK )
Has anyone used the BABICZ FCH 4 string bass bridge on their RCA-4 builds?
I am wanting a green translucent finish something showing the grain through. I have sprayed guitars before using nitrocellulose spray cans for a sunburst effect.
This one I want in high gloss translucent green
Has anyone done a green finish?
Did you use dyes or paint?
Have been reading the great articles posted by others already there are some really nice guitar finishes and good info on this forum.
Thanks all
