I am having fun just thinking about this step
Now... those dots on the fretboard...
How would I get rid of them?
I am not sure of they are decals or if they are actually dots glued to the fretboard..
In an ideal scenario I would love to get...
cut and first round of sanding done!
This one is a weird one for sure!

Notice the home made rasps! two metal files covered with 60 grit sandpaper.. it works ! ..sort of... let's...
...I think I got a bit carried away with the jigsaw.. maybe I've cut down a bit too much?

In the meantime.. here I am *maybe* ready for the cut!!
Yesterday I did some pencil drawing trying to match my test designs...

then adjusted manually here and there and drew the...
Very good point Trevor, well spotted!
so what's happening there, it's a tune o matic bridge, that has those pins that insert super snag into the body.
I didn't want to press those pins down all...
Ok, a little progress on this.
Before cutting the body and the headstock I checked the neck alignment and neck height using a long spirit level.

Hey Trevor, thank you so much, that's very kind to offer.
I dont feel ok to trade these pickups because literally I don't know how they sound! They might be great, they might be ok, or they might be...
Thanks Trevor and Grant for the the ideas and comments!
for Grant, not sure what happened to that message. I did send it with my mobile, but then I couldn't see it in the forum.. thanks for copying...

I have done my good years playing metal and cover bands and all that, I think the body and head stock look great on this kit, but the idea is to mod them to make it less aggressive, still maintaining...
30" Baritone guitar, the plan is to keep it fretless...
After a quick dry fit, it all seems ok, except:
# the neck pocket is a little bit abundant. First time I experience this on a Pitbull kit...
soooo.... this happened.
Pitbull had this among the specials and I couldn't resist...

Thank you Simon and fender3x for all the thoughtful comments, I really appreciate it.
For clarity, this post is in the Swap/Trade section, and is about selling a pair of ToneRider Jazz Plus pick...
Good point Simon.
The scale length was about a 5mm-6mm change (5-6mm shorter). It's a mod that I shared & documented in some of my build diaries. This mod allows a fretless JB or PB bass to have an...
I wasn't expecting that me try to sell these pickups would spark such a debate! ;)
Thank you so much fender3x for sharing your experience with the Dimarzio J and the custom wiring diagrams. Very...
Thanks! I appreciate the nice comments!
To be honest I was very happy with the Tonerider Jazz Plus, I found them to be a major and very affordable upgrade from the stock pickups that come with the...
Hello!
for sale a pair of Tonerider Jazz Plus pickups (bridge and neck pickup).
These were installed in one of my builds on a fretless bass.
This is a great and very affordable upgrade to any...
Getting there!
Over the past 3 months I have lent this bass to some local musicians and have received an equal amount of valuable feedback and great compliments.
Now I am finalising the set up...
I have strung the bass with the kit strings (which are not too bad btw, round wounds) and played for about a week or so.
The set up was relatively straight forward this time, and I'm not...
Wow! The black pickguard makes it super elegant!
Great instrument! I love this build!
Interesting watching your first build, the JBA, which has those triangles decals on the headstock, and seeing now how far you have taken your style with the non-pitbull builds, I love it!
This...
