Hi Guys,
As promise here are some photos of my build.
Well the day had come when my first ever bass kit arrived, I was so excited (and that takes a lot).
What’s in the box you say??
Everything was there.
First thing to do was the neck and shape the head stock.
Next thing was sanding, sanding and more sanding.
To be continued.........
Routed for a 2nd pickup?
Scott.
well spotted Weirdy, looks like it came out of the box with the 2nd bucker route so must have been a job for DB !
I like the headstock shape Poita !

Hi Scott,
I like the neck sound and my current Bass has the same set up and I run a Ampeg Fridge 8x10 so it should pump.
DB did the routing...
so Poita you going to cut the plate for the 2nd bucker or use pup rings for this build ?

Cool, I suspected it was DB's handiwork but thought I had better check it wasn't a factory oops. My next question was going to be about the pickguard needing an extra hole or if you were going bare.
Scott.
I'm cutting it myself will have pictures soon it's black pearl and the body is Metallic Purple and the neck is clear and the hardware will be chrome but I'm going to replace that with gold a bit late. Need to save up a bit. Also it will have a three way switch for the pickups.
love your plans Poita, look forward to seeing this beast evolve.
Nice avatar pic, is that one of your bass's ?
