IB-5 Electric Bass - Second Build

[pharms]

Greetings Folks;

Received my second bass guitar in February. I have completed a partial assembly. All parts received. Looking forward to starting this kit. Anticipated completion date is end of June, 2018.

I have not posted since I started to work on the IB-5. I am more satisfied with the finish on this bass than the RC-4 I worked on last year. Other than a grounding issue I am working on with regards to the tone pots, the bass looks good, feels good, and sounds good. Hope to use this on stage in a week. Looking forward to the next build! I will post a few more prebuild photos on subsequent posts.

Some additional build photos. Like I noted previously, I am very satisfied with the finish on this bass.

Last photo...really pleased how the decal turned out.

[Simon Barden]

A very nice, clean looking bass you've built there. It would be nice to have a photo of you playing it on stage.

Lovely bit of wood there! Looks really clean.

Thanks Simon. I will ask the wife to take a photo.

[pharms]

Thanks. I was going to go with a darker stain, but the clear stain actually worked out quite nicely.

I thinks the stain looks great, and goes really well with the black hardware. Nice job!

I’ll reiterate what Andyxlh said. Nice curves on that body.
