Subscribed, one or two, in fact, a few, of my dream basses are Lake Placid Blue.

What is all that extra space for the neck pickup? For a battery?

 

[ibanezcollector]

haha Who knows crazy route in a SX body.. I have no idea why its routed like that but its been that way since I got it..

Its a fricking boat anchor so maybe they tried to get some of the weight out of it.. Its got to be 7lbs on the body alone.. ITS A BEAST..

Hope this helps- your LPB is going to look great, I can tell already! A more true LPB tone than mine.

 

[ibanezcollector]

Oh yeah Teletubby thats what im talking about... Wheres your knobs LOL..

Awesome bass..

 

[rodl2005]

Teletubby- IS that a 'parts' type bass? If so what bits are what?? Looks GREAT btw.

I tryed a new paint since I like to try new stuff to see whats out there and how different finishes come out.. Since this is a no relic job I used this speed clear from Alsa.. so shes all buffed out and polished..

This paint rocks if anyone wants Poly based paint..

It is a parts bass- Fender MIM body, Warmoth neck, '62 RI pickups, and assorted hardware. It's strung BEAD with a set of Labella chrome flats. And the reason it doesn't have knobs yet is because it hasn't been wired up- can't decide between stackpots, V-V-T, or V-B-T wirings. That plus I'm too easily distrated by other projects...based on the sheer number of basses you complete, you can't suffer from too much distraction, do you Brett? Your finish looks superb, BTW!!!

 

[Widdershins]

No extra bonus I'm afraid.

I bought this SX specifically because of the matching blue headstock.
