Gee, Woks! DB was so proud of his efforts and it's my favourite Fretless Bass. He is going to be so hurt that you don't like it./<\\/p>[/<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/]<\\/p>/Quote from wokkaboy on January 15, 2014, 09:51
thanks for the tips Brendan but I saw Gavmeister's HB-4 done by DB in conch/amaranthine and it didn't float my boat - the boat sunk !

Yeah, you got me....
Gavmeister
got a bit more done on the Iceplorer, cut off the length for the neck pocket and got both neck and bridge pup routes done. Forgot how stressful using a router is ! Scored an explorer neck off DB so next step is to route the neck pocket, then can work out where the bridge and tailpiece bush holes will go.
Then have to make a template for the control cavity, they are pretty simple 'sausage' shape on the explorer, similar shape to the tele template I'm using that got half destroyed from the wrong router height on an old job !

here's a few more pics showing how it looks with the explorer neck. Lined up my face nicely in the reflection of the pickup !

Got the neck pocket routed tonight and the hole drilled from neck to bridge pup cavity. Next step is to locate bridge and tailpiece bush holes and drill them, then route control cavity and drill output jack hole, then should be ready for a final sand before staining begins. Colours to be decided yet

That's going to look very swish with the timber as it is. I also think you have far too much patience.
It's a pity you can't lock in your image on the pup. How cool would that be!
made up 2 templates for the control cover and got the cavity routed and holes/recesses drilled for switch and pots.

then got the final sanding and shaping done and got 1st coat of cherry flamenco on body and neck.
Thanks Brendan for the idea of using a clamp to hang the set neck body !
