New Kits for Rocktober 18

[adam]

Some new kits have just been loaded on the site.

There's the ML-1 which was one suggested on our New Kits Ideas Forum



Mahogany body and neck, Ebony fretboard and Chrome, Black or Gold harwdware options.

There is a Lefty version available (Chrome hardware) which will be up tomorrow.


The long-awaited JMA-6 Baritone 30" Scale kit has arrived and looks good. Brendan has borrowed one to check out and reports there are no major issues... looks like the Factory finally got it right. This is a Pit Bull Guitars exclusive.



We now have a 7 String SV style kit, the SV-7.



Check 'em out.

Finally, we have added some more hardware options to some of our existing kits, like the IC-1 (Black) and SV-1 (Gold).

Doh!! Only seemed like yesterday I was mulling (out loud) over this configuration.

cheers, Mark.

[edit] With some creative dowelling....voila! Jaguar/Mustang bass.

I was wondering if it could become a fender VI clone???

Could be done but would take some effort, you'd need to fill the rout for the toggle switch and rout the lower bout for the four sliding switches which in turn would mandate a solid colour.

You could I guess order it as a custom order with only the trem and control plate rout and I guess a swimming pool for the pickups which would only leave the route for switches.

Why oh why couldn't this have come out 6 months ago, I'm committed to the carbon fibre 12 stringer now.

So forgetting the switches and cosmetics, I presume scale length etc means it could be a doable F VI in terms of short scale 6 string Bass?

Hi Waz. As I pointed out in the other thread, somebody has converted a standard Squier Bronco to a VI bass.

My concern was that the width of the nut would be too narrow for 6 'thicker strings' but I haven't seen it first hand.

So my guess is 'yes' it is doable.

cheers, Mark.

That baritone is making me feel things....

bass6 with no pick guard


with


you could soon make a pick guard without the switchhole to cover that over




Standard strings .095 .075 .055 .045 .035 .025 inches,

So uh, could we then get a hardtail strat body with a 30" neck, and do that? Or we keeping the neck purely for that build for now
