**** If you build it, they will come. ****

Everything you build is cool, unique, or flat out awesome in some way.

I decree "Yay" and further say... let the build commence!

I'm already waiting for the "fence shot."

 

Build it. If the parts were mine, I'd use a white pearl or black/white/black pickguard.

 

I would put a Black or white PG, IMO the tort doesn't work with the red, it clashes.

 

I like the tort. Think it pulls the fretboard and body together nicely. Very sharp!

 

i vote nay and here's why.
you don't usually like red. and even though the red/tort combo is appealing to you right now, it will grow old for you very quickly.

you should refin the body into a color that you love and then buildeth thy bass

 

Well, I was really hoping to see the Green twin to this bass! http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f57/t...ass-tele-bass-860229/index5.html#post12302331

 

I say build it and ship it off to some kid in need of a bass that otherwise couldn't afford to have one.
If there just parts and really have absolutely no real emotional connection or legitimate need, I'm sure there are TONS of kids out there who would cherish the hell out of it.

Further more donate it to a kid with an invite to TalkBass to come for advice and guidance.

Wasn't there just a thread about people donating old and new strings when traveling out of the country? Send it with one of those guys or have one of them get you an address on there next trip.

Not a sermon, Just a thought.

 

build it!

 

I'm looking forward to the pics!

 

COMPLETELY, Understood

Ok so since that's not an option and you say it would help to make a few bucks then there really is no question here at all.

Build it, play it, clean it, sell it.

 

I dare you...

 

nice start. I'd use a gray pearl pickguard.

 

Build as is. Nothing wrong with red. As for the tort guard, it doesn't look like modern tort guards, use it. Use tarnished washers to hold down the two corners of the guard, old school style.

 

I say build it up and make a pile of parts into a bass and then sell it to someone on here, fun project, cleans up the house and puts cash in your pocket.
