Such...clean...work. It looks great.

I think short band names are effective...name the band "Vlo" Vlo appears to be the dutch word for a flea, or Flea in this instance.

I'm not one who usually likes a multi-lam neck, but boy...That walnut and maple looks really good! Keep up the great work.

I'm thinking of building a jazz bass similar to the way this one is getting built so far - that is, having a headstock laminate. What is the thickness of that headstock laminate? Also, did you bend the area towards the nut with a heat gun, or was it something else?

When I went to make a Herringbone-style Jazz bass out of Padauk/Yellowheart, I cut strips like this. I was originally planning on cutting 1" strips of 14-18" length, then dry clamping them and surfacing ALL the cutting faces and gluing those (I wanted strips 1" in width). What I ended up doing...

I believe my Charvel CX 490 has that setup. It has P/J pickups, with the P reversed. Inside the cavity is a ton of wiring. The first pot is master volume, the third pot is tone (has a cap on it) and the second pot though...is maybe the blend you are talking about? It's a double high pot with 3...

Ahh, I did not know about the tone-loss...I just prefer the ability to roll off master volume when I need it, and keep the other 2 volumes at different spots for different tones. But, now that I know about the tone-loss, what do you guys suggest? V/V/T? The only problem with this is, I have...

Since this is my first "from scratch" wiring job - I need a little help. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] These are the pickups. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] And this is the wiring diagram. I have three questions: 1.) On all three pots, the top prong seems to be bent up -...

Jeese, I just realized it's been over a month since an update. I'm really sorry about that guys - but I have major progress for all you following this! Firstly, my goodies arrived in the mail - truss rod, pickups, and bridge cover! The best part of this though, is that BestBassGear sent me 2...

A Crafted in Japan (Export Model) of a Fender Aerodyne bass. It would be lightweight like you said - and I personally think this model [exclusive to Japan, to get it in the US (or any other country) you have to import it] is especially beautiful. Here's a link to a vendor in Japan on Ebay, you...

Maybe a naturally darker piece of bloodwood that you could oil to a nice deep red color?

How did you glue it? With just Elmer's glue or some kind of glue stick? Try a rough-ish damp rag, that's how I get my paper templates off.

@Flux - That story is incredible man, that's sweet. Thank you for all the kind words too! @Josiah - Man, I wish I could help you with the whole routing thing, but really I'm a newb myself! The only experience I have with a router so far is the jig I've shown! I'm learning as I go!' @Lo-E ...

Wow, thank you for all the positive words guys! Means a lot to me. I have an update for you guys, not much by means of progress, but a few (low-quality, sorry...phone :hmm:) mockup pictures! I'll also include my plan of action, to have it out there for the community, and myself. [Invalid or...
