Recycled Project Bass Pics

[BassMeditation]

Just an update of on a previous thread. Blah, blah, blah some one tossed and old dresser in the ditch by my house as trash, blah blah, salvaged it for wood, blah, building a bass.


Link to my website with more pics and music and art and stuff.. http://lukepoteete.weebly.com/

Most of this is furniture grade plywood and the rest is oak.
These pictures obviously go from the start to now.

This is the first one Ive built, But It has made me want to make an upright about of some nicer wood, I actually bought a really nice piece of Bocote to slap on the front when I get around to it.

I wouldn't intentionally use plywood for a bass or guitar personally, but whatever floats your bass!
anyone want a plywood p-bass body real cheap?

 

[BassMeditation]

I would probably stay away from it too, it was just free, and a lot of it!

it's black, I haven't done anything to it except remove the bridge, the electronics work, tho they cut out, so there's a loose connection. you really want an old plywood memphis p bass body? I dunno, lol, make me an offer. no idea what it'd cost to ship, but I'll be happy to find out, and accept any reasonable offer. it's just going to collect sawdust otherwise. it has a little wear here and there I think. and a few stickers on it that say "$59.99"
