Hi All,
I had my first bass build at the beginning of this year and found it thoroughly relaxing and fun so I had ordered another to keep me occupied for the next few months.
I liked elements of a few of the kits PitBull had, so I figured I would ask what the cost would be to put together a custom build mixing all of the things I liked across the kits.
The Build:
Semi hollow TL style
12 String set up for neck and string through body to accommodate extra strings with Hardtail Bridge
Cut for 2 humbucker pick ups
Horizontal/Straight control cavity route
Spalted Maple veneer
Black Binding
Bolt on Maple Neck/Fretboard
Black Dot Inlays
Mock build between the neck and body fits perfectly. Below is a photo of the body together, and then the body, lightly sanded with a layer of tung oil applied.
I sanded the back of the body to 320 and applied a wood conditioner and then an ebony stain. Once this has dried I will be using a satin wipe on poly to finish the body.
Currently debating what I want to do with the neck.
