    Thanks a lot it means a lot for me. I prefer doing a carve like this... however the guy that asked me to build this didn't like it at all This is a very good idea. I might have some spare straight pieces of maple. Maybe I should try it. On the other hand I am thinking that the whole bass it's gonna be dyed black and the imperfection will covered. Thanks a lot by the way.

    Routing the neck pickup By the way the neck pickup it will be a Dimarzio pickup designed for an electric guitar (not for bass) Gluing the carbon fiber rods with epoxy. This stage was a mess cause I forgot to mask the neck and epoxy spread all around. Fixing some mistakes on the rods channel Test fit of the bridge pickup Installing the truss rod

    Hello guys this s my first post in this section and I am proudly present my first bass project. This one is for a friend of mine that asked me to built a 5 string bass guitar based on Warwick's Vampyre shape. So the specs are: Neck: Neck through wenge / figured maple laminates Body: Swamp ash wings Ebony fretboard 34" inch scale Seymour Duncan pickups Dimarzio X2N on the neck position Schaller and Warwick black hardware So... First comes some CAD plans I draw. Making Templates Cutting the pre-slotted fretboard Unfortunately I don't have any photos while gluing the neck So next.... cutting the neck angle The truss rod channel is ready.. ...and the channel for the carbon fiber rods also

    Thank a lot Prostheta Anyway what plan do you suggest? Mine is: 1) Seal the wood - sand (i think it's better to seal the wood in case something goes wrong) 2) Stain black with aerosol - sand 3) Stain it again till I get the right color 4) Finish it with Warwick wax. My problem here is that I don't know If nitrocellulose and warwick wax are compatible each other

    Hi guys Does anybody knows how to achieve a finish like this one? This is a swamp (maybe) ash bass body

    Thank you guys for your replies. I think the 13 degree is the one I am going to do. I surely don't believe there is a "correct" angle I am just searching for the most common (may I say) under these features. Thanks

    Hi guys This is my 1st post on the forum. I am watching the posts for a year now and I must say this is one of the most interesting forums on the net. So I am planning to do a solid body bass guitar for a friend and I am wondering what is the best scarf joint angle. The bass is gonna be a 5 string neck through body Any opinions are welcome. Thanks
