backsidetailslide Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) hey hows it going. i havent posted since my devastator build. anyways, ive started my own great precision bass. its pretty close to being done, ccccheck it! full shot, no J Pickup route. http://photos-303.ak.facebook.com/ip002/v5...8_2303_1844.jpg body as of now. for pickups im using an active EMG P-J set. should sound killer! the neck is again bought, i dont have the tools yet to do up my own. its maple with a nice nitro finish and gold frets. all the hardware are going to be gold, the bass will be painted all black. last thing to put in are the string through ferrules, the bridge has the option between string through and bridge mounted. let me know what you think so far!!!

jsnhavoc Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 It looks nice. What color is it going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 the bass will be painted all black. It's looking good. Black will look great with gold hardware. Just gotta be careful not to scratch that gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIRS Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 That is a very nice looking instrument you have there. If it were mine though, I wouldnt paint it, i would stain the body with a natural wood stain and try to match it with the neck a bit. Black body with a black pickguard looks strange IMO. No matter what you do to paint or finish this bass, I'm sure it will look and play well. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manquesa Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) Nice! You got me wanting to refurbish my Fender Squier P-Bass now. I have that exact same EMG pickup set for it too by the way. Where did you put the 9V battery for the pickups? Or is that a passive set, if so then I guess I don't have the exact same set. Very nicely done man, congrats. Edited March 27, 2007 by manquesa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

menaceg Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 That black works really well with the neck, umm you have given me some more ideas. Sweet job man. Do you have sound clips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaponepsilon Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 It's like you got brain napster! I am doing almost the exact same thing except mine is an all black rebuild. I have another similar one in the pipe with a double tremolo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
