Moar! :D

I'll have to use some other glue on the next build then :) The nails that kept the fingerboard aligned were outside the final outline of the board, so the holes aren't on the final board :smug: Thanks for the info!

Thanks! :) Yeah, I guess I have to recess it.. :spit: What's wrong with the glue? :confused:

Finally some progress :hyper: Some rounding: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] The final outline of the fretboard: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] At this point the bass got to see her future home for the first time. I think she likes it in here...

Routing the body: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Starting to look like it should! [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Get ready for the most random post ever. :hiding: The router jig for the truss rod channel: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Fingerboard on: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Holes for the aligning nails: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Gluing: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] There...

Next the "sandwich" is going to get some shaping ;) [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Got these monsters today: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Realised the set only has four strings... Gotta buy the fifth separately next time I visit the music store. Now I'm only missing the pups...

I like it too ;) The scary part: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] THE glue :D [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Back from the workshop! Enjoy :) [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] The stripes between wenge and maple are teak :) [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Preparing to do the headstock...

Lookie what arrived :hyper: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

This is awesome. Subbed ;)

Caught a flu on the weekend, so not much of an update. The wenges: :) [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] The center block: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Yeah, it has red birds eye maple veneer in between each layer ;) There wasn't enough maple...

Can't wait to start building this! I'm going to begin this week. Expect pics ;)

Since the body sides will be laminated wenge/maple/wenge I could hollow out the maple to reduce weight. How would it affect the tone?

So the woods are wenge, maple and walnut. I'll let them sit for a week or so at the workshop and then finally start the building :)
