!!METAL MATT!! Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 (edited) Hay man cool Idea with the whole "bass but not a bass thing" the body look's good but it look's like the heal is to far off to one side it may be hard to center the neck to line up with your center strips there if that's what your going to do? anyway I like it good work sofar EDIT:> ya know what this body design look's like to me the warrior Signature Bass http://www.warriorinstruments.com/default2.asp !!METAL MATT!!

PLUCKyou Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 (edited) yeah i have to take a little off of the side of the heel that looks off...i noticed that the other day...yeah it does resemble those a bit...i was really goin after the peavey grind bass style I'm surprised you're the first one to mention that though (the flaw) lol Edited February 10, 2005 by PLUCKyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 A tip for the heel blocks in general, I make them a bit wider than they will end up being in the end- I only shape them to final width with the neck actually attached. The widths of fender heel blocks and neck widths dont match up- that doesnt mean your cant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meegs666 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 that looks amazing, extremely clean lines. i wish my projects were looking that good. i too love the way basses look, but i cant play them worth anything, so its cool to settle for a bass shaped guitar.

PLUCKyou Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 it's not too bad...i can probably file some parts down to make it fit a little tighter then fill with somethin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 it's not too bad...i can probably file some parts down to make it fit a little tighter then fill with somethin ← Looking nice It looks like you built a neck through Bass and then changed your mind and chopped the neck off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
