Sonics 4th Build - YB-4 - The Steampunker Bass

[Sonic Mountain]

Some more incremental progress. I am finding myself regularly questioning my sanity for attempting this, but I need to get it done before a custom kit arrives at the end of the month.

They are about the same level of finish now, so more or less refining and detailing to go.

Still haven't had any inspiration on the bridge, the chrome looks ok, but I just don't think it suits the theme.. I'm going to go and check out the second hand/recycled timber place this week, they have a heap of brass fittings and handles etc so I should be able to sort out something for the tail piece pretty easily.

Hey mate awesome build. If you have problems with the 2 main curves overhanging the end of the guitar and not enough room for the knob that Somon pointed out, why not embed parts of the tenticles into the guitar body by routing out and moulding the tenticles to fit. That would give the look that the tenticles are alive and trying to burrow into the wood.
