Here we go again ...the devil dog

[wilser]

Here's another DV5 I've just started. This one's going to be dyed red sort of orangy (please God don't let it come out pink!). I nick named it 'the devil dog' (thanks thedonutman, for noticing the similarity!).

I used some poplar for the back and a great curly maple top I had around. It'll probably have a birdseye maple set neck and bubinga fingerboard (still undecided on those, but I want to use the wood I have laying around and get some more). I'm winding a pair of hot wide singlecoils with alnico5 magnets to try and get a big fat sound with singlecoil punch. I'm also putting an audere pre on it. black hardware and matching pickup covers.

This one, I'm gonna keep.

Where do you get tour a5 magnets from? I can't find too many places that supply them.
That is probably my favorite body shape btw.

he he.........that's a funny pic..............Cool looking bass, can't wait for progress pics!

I always thought that shape looked like one of those medievil skull caps with the cutouts for your ears and the flaps that cover your sideburns. Not that it's a bad looking shape, it just reminds me of that.

I know its not the most exciting wood but can you post a pic of the poplar back?

sure, but nevermind the safe-t-planer marks or the remaining glue. still much sanding and shaping left.

this one's got a nice grain and it's as freaking dense as poplar you could find. I'm sure it'll look great once dyed.

hey, I've got them from a number of different sources, google helped out. Duramag and EA magnetics had great customer service.

I thought Devil Dogs were those chocolatey-cakey rolled-up things that were like Ho-Ho knockoffs.

Mmmm Ho-Ho's......

Nice bass, by the way!

 

[scottyd]

Dang....that things got the forked tounge and everything....

Yeah... I dont see the similarity.

I worked on the neck a bit earlier in the week. I'm still undecided between the bubinga fretboard or birdseye maple. That piece of birdseye maple is tempting me and could very well end up being the 'board.

my dear wife got me a Parrot Vise and some plywood for christmas ...so that crappy bench/vise will be history very soon ...yipee!!!

 

[Greenman]

By all means go with the maple board.
Lookin' good.

 

[wilser]

I decided on the maple board. Here's also a pic of the tummy cut and matching control cavity cover. I'm also reconsidering staining vs leaving natural.

thank you.

1/2" roundover bit. notice I didn't do a full round over but left quite a bit of a 'flat' area on the top.
