'Assembling' another bass!

Will post parts, as they come in, and present the finished product upon completion! Stripping & painting will be done by a good friend of mine- as he has the skill & resources!

I've made a few versions and call them a "Mustonco".

The top one is my version using a MIJ neck, Bronco body, Musicmaster bridge, Gotoh GB350 tuners and a dual rail humbucking Strat style pickup...

The bottom one is similar but experimental with an Ibanez Mikro neck and bridge.

Good luck with your project.

Body has arrived... parts removed & bridge holes plugged!

Neck fits tightly in the pocket! Holes don't match... plugged neck holes...

Some guys have incredibly nice bass builds... I'm just a humble parts-assembler!!

But I have fun and have basses that 'fit' me...
