Body shape modified

[bassike]

HEY

Did anybody of you guys tried to modify the shape of a fender or similar bass; to make it look more modern??
cheers.

Well i just started stripping down an older Peavy that looks just like a fender that I'm overhauling

I'm staining the body and doing some minor carving and shaping to make it my own then doing a wood pickguard and some other stuff

I will be posting pictures once I get some extra time

 

[bassike]

Cool

It would be nice to see some pictures

i like the classic fender shape, but the horns are rediculously non-form fitting to the hand. i like it with the top horn is more erganomic to the shape of your hand

 

[bassike]

Yeah i would like to mod the horns
and since they are so big; i think they could be shaved to give a new look to the bass.

has anyone tried modifying a lakland 55-02 to make it look like a Fender P-bass?

in all sincerity, I LIKE the P-bass shape...

Hey I promise I"ll try to post some progress on this guitar soon

But I took the fendar looking body, cut down the horns for a little rounded looked and then cut a notch out where the back strap goes to mix things up....I did just finish cutting out the new wooden pickguard I'm making to match the new body shape

I'll show and tell more later
