Tele body bass - My first build
- Thread starter BassShifter21
- Start date
It's a Telecaster wiring harness "with all the toys" from Hoagland Brothers. The selector switch has four positions, but right now it's wired for either the lipstick alone or all three pickups together. The toggle switch is a phase shifter that can give the sound an "extra set of balls". Then just a volume and tone. Nice quality harness that fit the bill nicely! I even have some more options to change the combination in the future.
I'm not the kind of person who normally posts a one-liner at the end of a build thread saying "that looks gorgeous", but...
Wow. That looks gorgeous.

I just focus on those four big fat strings and I am in heaven!!!!!Lovely bass, great job! Thou, you nailed the telecaster feel so much, my mind keeps going "its a bass - no, its a guitar - wait, its a bass - nope, its a guitar etc"
very nice. great attention to detail. That sure is a purddy bass. im glad to hear that doing your homework paid off.
Killer bass, man. You've done a great job. I think that is one of the most beautiful basses I've ever seen!
WOW
I am humbled and encouraged by all the wonderful feedback I have received so far on my project. It makes me want to go back down into my shop and make wood shavings!!!! My hope is to grow this into something where I could perhaps use what I have learned and whatever talents I have to do projects for others. Working on basses makes me very happy
