MMB-4 Bass Build

[Peter H]

Hi Guys,
As promise here are some photos of my build.
Well the day had come when my first ever bass kit arrived, I was so excited (and that takes a lot).

What’s in the box you say??

Everything was there.

First thing to do was the neck and shape the head stock.

Next thing was sanding, sanding and more sanding.

To be continued.........

Routed for a 2nd pickup?

[Peter H]

DB did the routing...

well spotted Weirdy, looks like it came out of the box with the 2nd bucker route so must have been a job for DB !

I like the headstock shape Poita !

Hi Scott,

I like the neck sound and my current Bass has the same set up and I run a Ampeg Fridge 8x10 so it should pump.

How's your back?

[Peter H]

My back is fine. I've used this rig for 20years and tried a lot of different bass rigs and none of them come close. When I play I never have to worry about my sound it's just rock solid. So a bit of exercise to bump in and out is worth it.

so Poita you going to cut the plate for the 2nd bucker or use pup rings for this build ?

If the pickup routes are nice and clean you could probably get away with neither pickguard or pickup rings (which I don't think they make of MM style 'buckers.

If you put "super glue into/ onto the cracks, wait a hr or 2 then you can scrape gently with a safety razor blade to level it , then sand with 2ooo grit n a little polish.. that will both fix the damaged bit and blend in without being noticeable.
