Got the neck glued, no problems. I did notice I forgot to paint the ledge under the neck, but no big deal. I also treated the fingerboard with Tung oil. Lined the pickup cavities with the copper...
Installed the tuning pegs in the headstock. Got the neck lines up, glued and clamped. I noticed that they forgot to drill a hole for the 3-way switch, so I will do that after the neck glue is set,...
Put the Pitbull decal on the neck today. No matter how much I tried to line it up, it still looks crooked. I think some of that may be the camera in my phone and the angle I took the picture. ...
Did some more wet sanding and polishing. Right up until the velcro backing came off the polishing pad. Another trip to Harbor Freight.
I did a little wet sanding to see how much I needed to do. I started with P1200 then went to P2000. Looks like I need to do more still, I just wanted to get a feel for how much was needed. Then I...
Finished painting and clear coating last night. Some orange peel but I will sand and buff that out. It's coming along nicely.
I primed the body yesterday. Just waiting 24 hours to sand, then when my paint arrives I will start the painting.

Did the final sanding on the body and neck today. I used sanding sealer and grain filler and it feels really smooth. I will start the topcoat tomorrow. I'm not painting the neck, just going to...
Sanded the neck tonight (not the fingerboard). I started with P220 and finished with P500. I'm currently masking the fingerboard leaving the frets exposed. Then I will polish the frets with a...
This is my AGB-30 short scale bass. I plan to paint it a Purple Candy Sparkle Pearl with a 2K clear coat.
I just did a sand on the body tonight and will try to sand the neck tomorrow. The neck...
I moved here 7 years ago. I'm living in Prescott.
I had a SG style short scale bass when I was a teenager back in the 80's, it got lost during one of many moves back then. Now I finally get another one.
I just received my first Pitbull kit. It's a short scale AG style bass guitar. I'm sure I'm going to have a lot of questions.
