I have to wait until November for my kit to come in so in the meantime, I thought I’d resurrect an old parted out bass. The Guitar Center Dean Zone bass! I played it a lot and it was pretty cheap back in 2009. I’ve now grown tired of the translucent brown finish and cheap pot metal hardware.
This will be a chance to practice all the stuff I skipped or messed up on during my first build. Such as lining the control cavity with copper shielding tape, lubing the screws with soap, etc.
Not really a build, but a rebuild and upgrade. Bigger, heavier tuners, bone nut, high mass bridge.
I sanded most of the original finish off. Let’s see if I can do a decent nitro finish this time. New bridge, new nut, bigger tuners. I hope I can do it right.
