This is my bass.

It seems an Hongarian 1950's

Made the neck on the body by myself.

Fingerboard had puts Making it smooth again. It's still not 100%

Placed all by myself.

Great one!!!

I could only upload 2 photos

Congratulations. Are you applying filler to smooth the finger board? the proper way to do it is to smooth it with a hand plane.

Bougyt it for €200,- There was some damage in the fingerboard. That must be filled and than hand planed.

Did you ever make the trip to have Jürgen look at it? I am curious what he thought of your neck reset.

Not Yet, but I visit Jurgen this spring. I'm bussy with my new job.
