IB-5 CTHULU

Lol Lawry I dont think I have much chance of getting it done before xmas with my ever increasing work load

Hey Tim. How's the build going? This is becoming a bit of a reference for me now because I succumbed to the call of the IB-6S that Adam put up on on Facebook. I'm very apprehensive about de-fretting it but as you know I'm keen on a 6 string fretless. I'm thinking of maybe just ripping out the frets and filling the gaps. When I'm ready to build I will start a thread and be asking for sh*t loads of advice. Meanwhile, this build of yours is the main one I keep looking at for updates.
Cheers.

Lawry - an alternative to MOP is those plastic lables they have for plants - DB swears by them.

Swears by them or swears at them? ;-)

DB used them on the Beatle Bass - vid here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTEmgaCW5dk

I used the potplant labels on the JB-4 Nate Bass. They worked a treat!

So where did DB get the pot plant labels? Bunnings? Hehehe.
Sorry, which way to the naughty corner?

Over here with all the noise... Given there's a few IT types here, we've got the Wifi up and running again (sshhhh don't tell DB)... But the beer's cold and there's a couple more days before we get another crack at the poms, so heaps of time to do some damage to a guitar.

I,AM BACK :D
After nearly 8 months of playing with plants pavers and all the other stuff,
I found an afternoon to do some more work on Cthulhu. may only be a small step BUT IT FELT GOOD.

Hurrah, I say. I'm glad to see this again Tim! The fingerboard is looking very black in that pic. Have you got a sharper image? Definitely going to be following this closely. Fantastic.
