hardcore telecaster bass

Have you decided on a color? That bass looks great natural. White blonde trans would as well.

Ive asked for a solid bright white, but its not final yet. We are still bouncing ideas back and forth about the color so far its white or the blonde like you mentioned.
Glad to know somebody else had the same idea I did

Well ive been working on my telecaster bass for a little less than a year and its almost at the point where I can play it
Quick run down on my Deisred specs:
one piece Maple neck 20 frets
Hipshot hb2 black Tuners
1 9/16 nut
Wilkinson tiltsaddle bridge
Original fender bass humbucker
Dimizario dp127 split p's
SD QP jazz bridge
One piece maple body - white (debatable)
all black hardware
controls: the humbucker - vol/tone stack
vol/vol stack for split p's & jazz pickup
treble/bass stack for split p's and jazz


But I'm going to use it about 75% of the way with the. same Specs except:
No split. P's
no treble/bass control
vol/tone stack for the humbucker
vol/tone stack for the jazz

Sorry I dont have pics i just got a new phone and I have no pics on it and im on the road
But ill post as soon as i get home

I am working on a similar project so I would really appreciate some help. Where did you get the neck? It looks very nice.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping to give me a different answer than the classi allparts/warmoth/mighty mite. It sure looks though.
I would personally prefer the truss rod adjustment to be on the headstock side, maybe not the square heel but definetely the thiner more vintage-style frets. Actually are the frets on this neck the same you would find on a more recent fender?

 

[MarcMurder]

long story short.. i have to sell it. PM me if interested itll come with the custom white dimarzio strap and a roadrunner hardshell case.

the ad will be in the classifieds in a bit

Oh no! What happened?

I was coming to comment on how wonderful this thing is. I've never been a big fan of the Tele headstock, but you pulled together a great look on this beast.
