Really like the headstock shape!
Still working out what to do with mine so i may just nick it

Thanks Wokka, very easy to do the pickguard and definitely makes it more personal.
BillB thanks mate go for it!
Cheers all for the compliments

Hey Cade is this the vinyl sheet you ordered ? I presume the xbox 360 version is big enough for the JB pickguard ?

if so I'll look for one I like and order one. I was confused, I thought you printed out the image on a clear sticky vinyl sheet !

[cade711]

Yep thats the one Wokka! I did some measurements to make sure the guard would fit within the parameters of the vinyl. There was larger laptop options also. You can print onto vinyl with a laserjet but I don't know where to get the right sheets for it.

cheers Cade thanks for that ! I will place my pickguard over my xbox360 to make sure its big enough but sounds like it worked for you !
I'll choose a cover that will suit the red stain

Wow Cade, stunning looking Bass mate. Love how you blended the rear neck colour too as that is not always easy to get a similar colour to the body. Top job and encourage you to enter GOTM if you have not done so already.

[cade711]

Thanks a lot Waz, and for the help with suggestions during my build. I read your J-bass thread a bit along the way.
I'll drop some pics in the guitar of the month but have you seen theresimons build?! That comp is already in his hat! Haha

Also, Dingotone copper tape is brilliant. Used this to shield my PUP and control cavities and this Bass is SILENT until the strings are hit. Worked a treat!

[wokkaboy]

good stuff Cade glad the copper tape worked well. That's all I have used on all of my builds and it's worked well for me. If you hold back to enter the next GOTM there will be another stunning build so you might as well enter it in March GOTM so there is more than two axes to judge !
Lowest number of entries I can remember in the last year or 2 would be 5 or 6 entries so you still have a chance ! Depends what turns on the judges !
