This may not be a quick turnaround build, since I have one ahead of it in the cue. Still, I would say the build has now officially begun.
I acquired a PB neck cut to a Jazz Bass profile that arrived in January. I have done a little work on the frets, and have had a bit of a fraught adventure shaping the headsock.
I wanted a light, very simple bass. So when I saw what looked like a paulownia p-bass body on eBay for $33 it was irresistible. The body is super light. Maybe too light. It is also a bit less than perfect, with some dents, toolmarks and incomplete routes, but for $33 you don't expect it to be ready to put finish on.
This morning I did a dry fit with the only two parts I currently have...so we are off to the races ;-)
