syxxstring Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Here it is after staining. I have to finish mounting hardware and decide on controls. Neck was screwed in last night. The pickup will be a duncan JB(I have one lying around). Probably just a volume and a switch or 2 for all the cool pickup options. I was gonna try the natural binding look, but i think its gonna end up being white moto binding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveq Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 That is beatiful - almost like a red'sh kind of x. Oh, wait a minute - it is a red x! The pic isn't working for me either and boy am I feeling like a wise guy today . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveq Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 There it is! I love that color. What did you use? I've been thinking about using a similar color but I don't have a body to use it on yet. If you have time, please post what you used - I really like it.

syxxstring Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Im using the fullserve site to host it. Maybe its too big and needs reduction for you slow pokes.-Don't know what the issue was its resolved now? For the stain I used Minwax Ebony off the shelf at the depot. The speaker cab below it actually uses the same colors as the bsb tutorial, i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on a dedicated T1 line. I dont think it was speed related. It's there now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveq Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Im using the fullserve site to host it. Maybe its too big and needs reduction for you slow pokes. Same here - not a speed issue but the pic seems to be relaible now. Minwax Ebony huh. Did you use anything else? How about the stain, sand it down, stain again method?

syxxstring Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I did that a few times with the black, not sure what stage this was taken at. I have to finish clearing it and then I'll post more pics. Didnt mean to offend, well maybe just a little, with the speed comment. Hopefully It wont give me cause to be stabbed by one of wes's pointy guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syxxstring Posted January 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 More of a pigeon, than a thunderbird, 'eh? I like it. Huh? Pretty darn close to the current Gibson shape. Nice and round, no points, just skipping the pickguard.(I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Am i the only one who thinks that the Firebirds are neck heavy? Or maybe it was the the extra scale length of my old "F" bass! It wasn't even playable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it was the the extra scale length of my old "F" bass! It wasn't even playable! The basses are notoriously heavy, I think Melvyn Hiscocks book addresses this as a design flaw. The originals with the bigger tuners would swing down and break the head off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
