A 2 years long topic?
Very nice bass!

Sorry it's been a while since the last post

Oh no! Zombie thread!
Just kidding, it takes me on average 1.5 years for a build. I sure an 8-string has plenty of extra challenges.

Bridge and custom knobs now fitted

Hi here's a couple of pictures of the Marseer8 She's 99% complete with just the string retainer to be fitted.
Hope you like it.

I like! I like!

Amazing! What did you use to make the dial indicators on the body for the pots/knobs?

 

[captainhaddock]

They are made from brass tube with a black plastic fretboard side dot marker glued down the centre.
They were originally only going to be used as fret markers.
