Neck for Bass-Adrenaline

[stepswork4me]

Absolutely beautiful work, Jason. You, Mike, and several others are very good at what you do and make me want to try my hand at building.

Of course the pic i really want to see isnt showing up. lol

O yeah, i know the picture size thing got brought up. The older pics arent that big but the new ones are actually HUGE. They arent large in size but the resolution is really high. Thats may be why its not as noticable.

Also, could you add the newer stuff to the facebook album? If its a hassle dont bother but its easier to go through them that way.

Weird part is they are the same pictures, taken by the same phone, uploaded to the same place... can't figure that one out...

I did (facebook), it took a minute for me to figure out that 200 pics was the limit, so there's a "part 2" folder.

Hey man, there's only one way to do it.

And you have created the one Gecko neck that tubby.twins doesn't have yet. I love it.

 

[Bass-Adrenaline]

My gecko is gonna be sweet. lol

Would you be referring to the "tabs", that were on the back of the neck? I used them to align the pieces, when clamping them up....

Don't worry..... I'm always around and taking notes......

 

[Bass-Adrenaline]

lol, i know you do wyliee. You and Spike have been really helpful with anything ive needed. Im glad warmoth has someone on this site who attemots to improve warmoths bass line.

One more time with the shaping and sanding. I ran a block of marble with 80 grit, up and down the back of the neck, so that i know 100% without a doubt that it's level from heel to volute.

Put some more tru-oil, so I can investigate any left over marks or scratches.

Think that's bad...... there's literally dozens of pieces of figured black walnut that are 2" plus thick.....Just not big enough for a body....

*dies a little inside*
black walnut is my favorite.... especially figured.

That's really a shame man. Make something else out of it? Doesn't really have to be for a bass.

I made some acoustic sides out of it, that and a few other veneers.

Multi piece tops...aka Melted. Great way to use extra pieces not big enough for 1 top

 

[Bass-Adrenaline]

You can make me a sort of checkerboard body out of the stuff! lol
