IB-6S build in Copenhagen

[agersnap]

Finally got around to start assembling my 6 string bass kit. Ordered in April, but of course delayed due to corona.

Body and neck looks very good - the burl veneer is stunning - and fits together nicely.



I have decided to upgrade some of the hardware right away and have fitted a Hipshot bridge, Aguilar DCB PU's and a Glockenklang preamp. (The pre amp is so small that I can fit the battery in the cavity, avoiding routing for a battery compartment)

I have completed the mock-build and I am very satisfied with the result, - plays and sounds good.

Only one concern: The neck is very thick, and I am seriously considering shaving 3-4mm of the backside to make it more playable. Any experiences doing something like that in the group? May require some tooling to avoid ruining the shape.
