Very nice Marcel! An SG is still on my list ;)
I took some other shots of the Red Widow. The other day it was cloudy and I felt the color and depth was not ok. So here are the new pics:

All good mate. Bright sunshine certainly helped to show up the depth of rich red colour.Quote:

Ohhh, an EX with P-90's. That's something you don't see every day. Very nice grain on that ash.
This is a Pit Bull Guitars TB4 kit. In the style of a Thunderbird bass guitar......not a copy. She is the DOWNUNDERBIRD.
Firstly let me say how good the kit is. THE BEST QUALITY KIT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM PBG....OUT OF THE BOX AWESOME.
I had so much fun making this. The advice on the forums is irreplaceable....Wazkelly, PabloPepper, WokkaBoy and the ultimate wizard of wiring Weirdbits I thank you so very much for your ideas, advice and support.
This is a major part of my sanity tools now and without you guys it would easily become a source of greater frustration and stress, and not the relief it is too me. Thank you all...Ads and DB too...you guys rock. :)
TB-4 kit.....
1. UBeaut water based stains of my concoction.
2. Tru-oil all over for about 20 coats.
3. Wipe-On poly over the top after 1 month curing time.
4. Stock Bridge. Straplocks top and bottom. A $4.00 Fender P Bass style thumb rest...makes it so much easier to play.
5. Black Tele style jack socket. Switchcraft socket.
6. Copper all over everything...cat struggles to walk now. 2 x Push Pull 500k (Alpha Brand) pots in both pickup volume position. Stock 500k B style Tone pot. Stock green ceramic .223 uf capacitor on tone pot. All vintage push back wiring everywhere.
7. Stock humbucker pickups...yep the Chinese numbers. Split using the wiring diagram from Weirdbits...thanks mate.
8. Graphite Nut. (First time I have attacked a nut with the files. This one came will basically a dent where the string goes...so had to do it all.)
9. Stock tuners.
10. Custom Truss Rod cover from PabloPepper.....love your work mate.
11. My hand carved take on the headstock shape....rasped and filed and sanded.
12. Black stain...Ubeaut on headstock face.
13. Attempted burst on body and neck....orange core colour and cedar around the edges. (The burst looks really lame in photos....way better without flash...dodgie lighting and in real life....I hate it in photos.)
EDIT:- I forgot the knobs. They are copies of the original BELL Knobs and fit the metric shafts of the pots I used. They feel great and look good.)
Some more of them photo thingies......
Oh she plays so well.....full fret level and polish...neck relief set....string height adjusted...nut filed.
Awesome. One of these is on the list for my missus to encourage her to keep learning the Bass. Love the finishing and the coat of arms.
nice job Ozz, another quality bunch of entries so far !
Well done Ozzie. Love the shape.....no more room in the house for another Bass however if there was, one of these would be more than welcome.
Very, very well done Ozz! Really love it :)
So glad I am not a judge....every body wins!
