[Dan Knowlton]

I like it, but it is a copy of a Jaguar with a reverse headstock - got any more "out there" ideas?

Its not a Jag pickguard though, but Yea I kno. I love Jags.

[cricketfever32]

try sliding up the upper horn a bit and pushing the bend in more, and i think this bass is screaming for 3 jazz pickups

[orion91]

Damn. 3 Jazz bass pickups would be awsome!!!

[grommit]

I'd like to see just a complete reversed jag.
Would have balance issues though.

Another thing i think would look rather nice, would be a hollowbody jag, drop the pickguard, and with f holes. Topped off with some sort of really punchy pickups, i dunno, darkstars?

[orion91]

I was wondering if the reversed headstock was gonna give me trouble. Whats some problems I may encounter?

[cricketfever32]

you really wouldnt run into many problems, because its still the same weight, the only thing that would possibly pose as a problem would be neck symmetry if you are making the neck yourself, you would have to either make it symmetric, or slant it toward the tuners in this case. good luck with your build cantwait to see it,

requests: try a marcus miller style pickguard, but not in black, and do you have any idea as to what color the bass is going to be, and what the hardware you're using is?

[orion91]

Yea Im buildin the entire thing Body, Neck, Pickguard, and even the Bridge, and possibly Pickup Covers(I want Chrome ones). I'am odering full scale Jazzmaster, and P-bass Blueprints, Maple Neck Blank, and a router this Friday.
