yeah ok DB interesting experiment. Looks like the bridge pup will be almost hard up against the bridge.
So are Tonys wound J pups going in this build ?

Are you going to go for the opaque finish? I'm keen to see how close to solid colour it can get.Quote:

@Woks. Bridge pup is about 10mm off the bridge.
Keeping Tony's pups for a custom build thats floating around somewhere in my brain........
@Fretty. Hoping it will go more solid after 3 coats, if not I will have to spike the mix with some more white base.
@RNL. Thanks, it has been fun.. Nearly drove myself nutzo doing the checker binding but it was worth the effort :p
I wondered why they were so spaced out, intriguing experiment.Quote:

Subtle, I like it.
looks great DB, almost a solid colour, how many stain/intensifying coats of seafoam was that ?
And here she is together..
Still need to wire up the lights, when I get the correct LED so sometime next century 😬
Plugged her in and WOWZERS, my pickup placement experiment certainly has given this beast a whole different type of nasty 😀
Crank it up on the bridge and Rammstien out or dial it back on the neck for some nice smooth blues tones.
Definitely going to replicate this build in some exotic timbers..
And no, Adam, you cannot have her.
nice one DB looks excellent. You know you have the control plate flipped or is than intentional ?
what does the small switch do on the control plate, assume for turning the LEDs on/off ?
good luck keeping this beast out of Adams hands hahahha
Did the tele bass's run with the guitar style control plate and 3 way switch ?
EDIT is there a battery box on the back of the axe for the LED's ?
It was intended to flip the control plate. Never could see the sense in having the switch at the top..
good one DB, you answered one of my four questions
If I told everything you would know as much I do Woks 😜
Battery box is on the back, switch is for the LED and the Pawn Shop Tele Bass is the same as the Guitar 😁
haha ok no worries DB, 25% of answers isn't too bad then. Think I know 2 of the other answers.
I can google the history of the tele bass
EDIT cheers for the 3 other answers DB !
Great Tele bass DB!

This beauty is just spectacular DB. Big want.
cheers,
Gav.
seriously nice build DB
Wow...
I gotta have me one of those.... When did my life get so busy that time is a luxury? Oh yes - two kids mostly. Then I gave my little finger to the devil and made my first cigar box guitar - so far I've made three and those were nearly ripped from my hands. Still got orders pending for two and people asking for more.
For what it's worth I'd like to thank everyone on this community for a hobby that now pays for itself. Maybe some day I can get some decent income for it to do it at least part time. Still - have to sell some to order more (wife's words) so will be back and I'll be following the builds closely.
Sanasi ovat totta ja viisas! I look forward to seeing your next build Arzi.Quote:

Awesome work DB. My daughter wants to know when you are taking orders, she doesn't want to wait for me to get around to making one! And the LEDs are the kicker. When do we get a photo with the lights on?Quote:

I was lucky enough to see this beast in the flesh Friday night and a demo from DB and a quick play of it. Sounds and plays really well. I tried to get DB to forget taking it home with him but damn it he was sober enough to remember taking it with him haha
