We finally finished this one. This was my second build, that was built in conjuction with my third. I built this for/with my 12 year old son. He helped with gluing and sanding but stayed away from the power tools.
Specs:
Swamp Ash core with Walnut top
Walnut/Flame Maple Neck Lams and ebony board
30.5" scale
Bart pickup wired passive just vol/tone (it's his first bass and I didn't want too many controlls messing him up, there's room to add a pre later)
Some pics of him helping
I thought it would be cool to give this bass some kid mojo, so I suggested my son write some things in between the laminates. It was all up to him what to write. He wrote things like Music, love, no war, Luck, and even wrote Green Day rules.......he he, what an 12 year old!
Writing on the lams
That's my boy!
He's gonna have fun!
He's helping with the glue too!
Helping with the neck glue
We got plenty on there!
All glued and clamped
