IB-5 FrankenLab Style

Can't wait to see this one finished with that fretboard on display.

I'm really digging this build. Fretboard looks great, the transition to the neck is great, and it's a killer kit to start with

Well, as with everything life gets in the way.

I’d set this aside to grain highlight, having done some more errr...”adjustment” to the aesthetic around the neck joint I started sanding down. Go to a good all over 80 grit finish and then gave it a wipe down.

Standing back and looking at it, I don’t see any need to grain highlight this one.
Between the figure on the board, the natural contrasting light and dark grain on this body, and the contouring I’ve already done I think there is enough going on to spark interest.

I’m tossing up a light poly finish, or hitting it with danish oil and wax.

So, now on to a fretboard radius!

Isn’t going from guitar to bass like going from shoelaces to Velcro? 😉

Started the acoustic 1.5yrs ago and finishing of my first electric, never touched a Bass, not planning to, till I watch a vid of someone playing Tool style bass lines....

There was an incident at work, I sustained a head injury. Any more serious and I may have been forced to live out my life as a Drummer.

I shall see myself out...wait, this is my build thread. I should probably stay.

Isn't that how you can tell the stage is level??? The drummer is drooling from both sides of his mouth.

It works, my elder brother is one of nature’s natural drummers and we built a patio dead level with his help.
