Ok well I got some more work done on my bass tonight while I still wait for my decal for the tele build nearing completion. I have been sanding and sanding. I made the belly cut and the forearm cut a little bigger to be more comfortable and reduce some weight. I grain filled with ebony timbermate and sanded more and then some more. I started a mock up of the modified pickguard with some cardboard... thanks for the idea ILR... even painted it white to get the idea.. ordered all my goodies.. new hipshot kickass bridge, hipshot tuners with drop tuner, new pickups from GuitarFetish, some white pearloid pickguard material, a preamp system from tone monsters.. so when all that stuff gets here I am going to make some major progress.![]()
