*faux* naugahide, do you know how hard it is to find genuine naugahide these days???Great build. And your choice of green naugahyde didn't go unnoticed. Well done.

It plays Southbound Pachyderm really wellHow many naugas had to die for that strap?
On another note, does it play Seas of Cheese as well as it looks?![]()
Pickguard came from ebay, the ferrules on the front are eyelets for leather working sourced from a big-box hobby store.This build looks so great. Maybe I missed it when you went through some of the other parts - where did you source your pickguard material? It has a lovely deep red with a hint of brown.
And what ferrules did you use for the top of the body? I only ever find sizes appropriate for guitar strings, not bass.
Ahh good trick! I’ll keep an eye out.the ferrules on the front are eyelets for leather working sourced from a big-box hobby store.
