JZ-6 Bass VI apartment build

I know it looks super weird with no pick guards or electronics...

But even with only like 15 minutes spent on adjustments, it plays pretty dang nice already!!

I didn't even have to use the smaller .084 strings... I went straight to the Fender .100's.

heh, it's pretty hard to turn the low E tuner, so I might need to invest in some better quality tuners. Maybe even something locking.

I can't wait to get the electronics soldered up and see what this is capable of.

It's looking very likely that this will be worth spending some money on the pickups and electronics.

OK, so actual question time:


With the copper shielding, I have seen some where it's just on the pick guard, and some where it's all through the cavities as well.

Is that needed? I don't think I got anywhere enough copper with the kit when I ordered it (I ticked the add on) to do the cavities...

I think it depends a lot on what pickups you go with. I tend to play it safe and shield everything. A role of copper tape is not that expensive (I also use it when welding stainless). It's pretty easy to find on uncle ebay. As I understand it, aluminium tape is just as effective.
