darren wilson Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 That looks like a really cool setup. Was it hard to install the fiber optics? More photos, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 So when are you gonna tell us how you went about putting fiber optics into your guitar, or at least where you bought the stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegarehanman Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Looks great. Only "major" change I could think of would be to have the individual laminates taper along with the neck. I need to right up a tutorial on that. What kind of finish are you going to put on it. I'm assuming this is just a mock up. peace, russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 ............. Here are some periods. Feel free to put them in your posts. In all seriousness, though, that's a really nice bass. What kind of wood is that for the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batfink Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Great work, i must have a go at this fibre optic thing in the near future. Where's the LED actually placed, between the neck/neck pickup ? Jem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren wilson Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Wow... i can't wait to see how the woods will look once they're finished. Nice bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Beer Man Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 HAHA nice man, i know its funny how installing little lights can get you so stoked about your project, i freaked out when i installed mine and saw them light up for the first time.

Bassisgreat Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I love the neck laminates! Wonderful wood choices, the only thing I'd have done differently is to get some flame maple to really add that special touch, but that is totally subjective. Some may see that as over the top. I like the shape too, it's got a nice flow. P.S: I (clearly) agree with you. Bass is great!!! Including this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including this one! ← oh yeah i agree on the flamed maple, this being my first project i didnt want to go all out on woods, but the next one i will, and its gonna be a six string so itll have plenty of room for some nice figured woods in the neck, but man it is hard to find nice woods in the length needed for a through neck bass......

Jem. ← i placed the led inside of the control cavity i put it there so i can get to it easy, so when i get bored with the color i can just change it out to a different one.

scottyd Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 i cleared the bass with urethane, it still has to be wetsanded and buffed out (little bit of orange peel a few bugs) but heres a couple of pics so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
