Xanthus Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm Hans-Peter Wilfer and I approve this message. Pretty classy job. That's just a rasp? Why not a roundover bit? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Man43 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Yeah just a rasp, and a bit with a cabinet scraper. And i couldnt afford nor find a big enough bit, o well, i prefer hand working it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledzendrix1128 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Nice work with the rasp, just curious, do you have a router? or are you planning on chiseling out the pup cavities? EDIT - nevermind stupid post, i just realized you used one for the truss rod channel Edited April 17, 2008 by Ledzendrix1128 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Man43 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Got lots of carving done this last couple of weeks I love the way its starting to look, should turn out to be a good one. Bare in mind that this is all still rough carve I have still only used a rasp and a cabinet scraper. http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff103/m...ix/PICT2697.jpg http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff103/m...ix/PICT2698.jpg http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff103/m...ix/PICT2699.jpg http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff103/m...ix/PICT2700.jpg Feedback is appreciated Bass-man43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Man43 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 OKay everybody! I've done a ridiculous amount of work on this thing and its almost done!! I have been fighting with seymour duncan over the last several weeks about them not making my parts as there is a lack of demand for them but my PU will be here friday or monday, but the preamp wont be here till the end of july early august. The bass is fretted, control cavity/cover recess made, Maple cavity cover is made, tuning keys are in, The nut will be ifnished made tomorrow and glued on and strung up to see how she plays. Ill get some pictures tomorrow, it looks great can't wait for it to be done Bass-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
