RIM Custom Marseer 6 Fretted Fishtail for Chris

First time ive seen anybody doing this with a bass..:confused:
Hi Guys,

Well we are back from Cornwall, had a blast and I got a couple of surfs in also! Ok so we have been busy on the bass this week, ive got the pickup routs in and drill for the 6 neck screws. Also drilled for the sperzel tuners.

Bass come surfboard that how I roll!

Cheers for the comments guys, to Derhoggz bud the tailpiece is a soild piece of brass which I have made by ETS. On the early Marseers I made them myself, simple design as shown in the picture below

So basicly I rout out the slot for the tailpiece in the butt of the fishtail, then slot the fishtail for the strings. Very simple design that works for my look.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Robbie.
