Still got those Ernie Balls on it. Had it at band practice tonight and it wouldn't cut through. I'll have to try some thicker strings.

Alright, the back and sides are tung oiled and polished.

I leveled the frets, crowned them, polished them and then gave the rose wood a coat of lemon oil.

Thanks, man. I used a little 15cm metal ruler i have, seemed to do the job.
Thanks guys!
I filled the rear and sides with ebony Timermate, sanded it down then stained it with colortone black. It's ok. It didn't want to take the stain evenly...
Here it is after a coat of...
From what I read they should suite my needs. I'l find out soon enough.....
Ok, this is going to be a pic heavy one...
Got the 'ol brush out and gave all the glue spots a massive scrub with some...
Good luck, man. I'm basically doing my build with only a coping saw, dremel, drill and some sand paper.....
I'm no expert. But, did you fill the grain first? Also that weird ripple effect is called orange peel. I'm not sure how you fix it, but a quick google should be able to help you out.
I used Tung oil on a Warmoth neck I got. After a shit load of coats and polishing it up with some 0000 steel wool, it's the best neck i've personally ever felt.
Bass player here, I usually have my action set super low. I get a little bit of fret buzz if I really start digging in. I make sure to give all my bass' a good fret level to eliminate as much fret...
Whoa, It's been an absolutely insane few weeks. Band broke up, auditioned and joined a new one, working seven days a week......
Anyway, amongst all that I managed to get a few thing done on my...
I'm not sure. I didn't notice anything before I put the tuners on. I've changed the tuners and have had to redrill holes on most of my guitars and bass'. I've never come across this before.
I'll...
As mentioned above, stuck a quilted maple veneer to the headstock. Got the 'ol dremel out and tidied up my rough saw job.
Hand sanded the whole neck up to 120 grit, probably going to finish up to...
It's going to be tuned to the same octave as a bass. That's a good suggestion.. wish I had thought of that earlier as I've already put a veneer on it and cut the tuner holes.. Worst case It doesn't...
After taking the tuners off I notice that there's a hair line crack all the way along the tuning holes. Not sure how it happened as I pre drilled all the screw holes and didn't have the tuners...

They aren't long enough for a Jag style Bass VI...
Cool, nice to see some people interested.
Got some parts.

Annoyingly I'm going to have to make a custom pick guard.

Lucky I measured about half a dozen times. The scale length is 760mm which is 29.9 inches.....
Thanks mate. I hope I can get it to turn out half decent.
Anyway, while I wait on some parts to come in I sketched out my idea for the headstock shape. Feel free to share any thoughts or ideas on...
Hey all,
Received my TLA-1Q Kit with 30" scale neck yesterday. Looking at putting together a "Bass VI" type thing.
I'm looking at staining the top with Color Tone Vintage Amber and doing the back a...
Damn, man. That paint job looks killer.
Nice video. Might have to check out some more of his stuff.
