Lawrys IB-6S Fretless

Hehehehe... Like Brendan it's on the wishlist...

Got to start on the assembly after work today. Hurrah! Put in the copper shielding and attached the neck.
Tomorrow, all being well, I'll get the bridge mounted and maybe the electronics. I haven't put any copper in the control cavity yet cos I need to see how the active setup fits and I don't want to cause any shorting.
With luck, it will be ready to go for the weekend. That'll give me one week to get used to playing it before the a gig on the 15th.
Woohoo.

Looks great Lawry, can't wait to see and hear it finished.

Beautiful Lawry. Cant wait to hear her deep dulcet tones. Both you and Wokka used an active setup on this model. Is it necessary to get the best out of it?

cheers,
Gav

@Gav. Personally, I love active electronics in a bass. I like the extra colour you can get for your sound. You can go really fat or sharp and bitey. These electronics also have a sweepable mid so you can get a nice scooped sound if you want it. This being a fretless though, I will want a nice fat mwaah.

Got a little bit more done today and am nearly done.
Mounted the bridge and pups, loaded the electronics and attached the control cavity cover. It looks heaps better than the black plastic one even if it was a bit short due to the shape of the veneer I had left over. Still, I like how it's looking 8-)

Looks good. The control cavity cover was deffinatly worth the effort.

Lawry - spot on job with the cover - in fact it's all looking great! Good luck with GOTM when it comes around!

[gavinturner]

Gorgeous Lawry. Love your cover - awesome job. That's the kind of attention to detail that wins GOTM! (But you'll have to beat Pest first!!)

Cheers,
Gav.
