First Build

[lburton2]

First off.. please don't yell at me Mikeyswood lol.. I figured i'd try this again.. This is my first attempted build. I still have some sanding and shaping to do to the body. It was an old Rhondo. The body is going to be painted white (To get rid of old drill marks and bad grain), a custom mapled pickguard, with an all maple neck from Warmoth, with a white headstock. Probably gonna go active Phase II from Seymour Duncan.

Thoughts/concerns/input?

This is also my first build. I originally posted in the wrong thread, so I thought I'd re-post here. I used Southern Yellow pine for the body. The neck was lifted from an old Crate bass I found in a pawn shop. The neck building process seems more complex than the body, and I wanted take it one step at a time. The pickups are middle of the road aftermarkets. The bridge is an upgrade I bought from Grizzly. All in all, I am reasonably pleased. I made a ton of mistakes (most were corrected) and I learned lot. I am looking forward to the next build. Any comments?
