My new bridge and tuner arrived today, so I'm going to have to flip this back to the workbench shortly. By Easter it will be my only project on the go, so there will be more updates as they occur.

It was simple Rust Check resin. I had it lying around the shop. Any polyester resin should work just as well. I had this one left over from a repair job I did on a canoe. What I like, is as long as the bass is set level (check and recheck) then the resin will flow and self level as well...

Very nice indeed. Really like the blue to black contrast.

The resin filling on the large extra cavity hole in the back of the bass worked quite well. I mixed the resin & hardener as per the instructions, it ate a hole through the bottom of the plastic cup I was mixing it in, and I allowed it to flow from that hole into the cavity. Once cured, it is...

Yes, this bass has been beaten up over the years. My first quick snapshot shows that: - there are a lot of forstner holes - a few extra holes thru the body - bridge saddles missing - bridge cover missing - bridge pickup missing - frets missing - strings missing - cavity cover missing (not that...

A couple more shots to show you the starting point

Hello All. I've lurked long enough on the forum and decided to start with a rebuild - although scratch build will be next. Here is the starting point for my project. A Cort Headless with Steinberger Licenced Tuner. It's rough, seen better days I suppose, but it will give me a chance to...
