February 2015 Guitar of the Month Competition

The nut is standard so are the pick ups the bridge I got from Ebay advertised has Gold Music Man OLP Style Bass bridge BB-MM4-G.
It's far better than the one you get in the kit because the saddles screws are longer. I was thinking of doing a sound demo maybe in a week or so. I've played it at a gig and was very impressed with it. So now it's going to be my main Bass. There is nothing better than playing something that you have made. Love Love Love it.

nice one Peter, so you must have got an extra pickup in your kit as they come with only one standard.
You're correct there's nothing more satisfying than playing an instrument that you built !
So if you have a 3 way switch what do the 4 control knobs do ?
You did a great job of the headstock logo too

[Peter H]

Wokkaboy, You are right the kit only comes with one pick up I order the extra one when I purchase the kit and had DB route the pick up whole for me. The 4 controls are 2 volume and 2 tone and as for the three way switch it's set up for Neck-Both-Bridge pick ups.

[wokkaboy]

ah ok thanks Peter, so the switch is an easier way to switch between pickups without having to turn the volume controls up or down

stunning work Peter, you've done a great job. First build - wow

[gavinturner]

Great work Peter - I love this bass man! I would very much like to hear a sound demo. Great finish, great pickguard shape and great headsock. It's the complete package.

cheers,
Gav.
