So, just in from Warmoth: Vintage Tele neck, vintage construction. Showcase item, plain maple with bonus birdseye. The idea is that, in a couple of months, it should become the little brother to this: Order for the body will be placed in a week or so. I'll post a couple of pics when that...

OK guys, latest project is just about completed. What do you think? The idea was to have the offspring of a J-bass with a Telecaster. Short scale J-bass body with a 30" reverse orientation Warhead neck. The body is swamp ash with the grain enhanced, stained with ebony stain, and sprayed with...

Anybody else notice that Stew Mac have just introduced J and P bass pickups in their Golden Age series, but also the matching 'wind yer own' parts kits? Seems like a low threshold way to get started in doing some experimenting.

Couldn't resist getting this: and this: along with one of these: and assorted hardware in chrome. The idea I have right now is to do a distressed finish. You may recall my statements about relicing in the past, it won't look like it was towed behind a truck and used to fend off...

Hey Fernando, You still in one piece? I'm just reading this on the news, seems like there were some explosions at a chemical plant and a number of houses and schools were evacuated.

OK, the UPS truck dropped off two packages this afternoon. One with the body blank, the other with the pickups and assorted electronics parts. I just realized a couple of things. The first is that I now understand why in my case the UPS guys never pull stunts like leaving the package on the...

Remember when Gregg showed us this picture: and I said how I could picture one of those as a bass, with a Warmoth headstock? And how I told iamtak "You'd have to take the blank, rout or thickness sand away 1/4" from the top so you could put a separate top on, then rout away most of the...

New in the showcase... one of the nicest ones I have seen...

So, Big Brown did another right-on-schedule delivery this afternoon. Swamp Ash body, single bridge routs, dual soapbar humbuckers. Hey, whaddy'a know, the neck plate chose the very same day to appear on my doorstep... (and by the way, the packaging was not just pooch-proof, it very probably was...

Jay. Four weeks of unbearable suspense now give way to two days of unbearable suspense. And even more for the rest of you who have no clue as to what I'm up to this time (except for Doug who already knew that it's going to be black hardware again)...

So the first three applications of linseed oil are done, the first one warm for better penetration. The last one is taking more time to dry, so that means it has penetrated as deeply as it will go and it's time to move on to the Tru Oil to form the surface layer. I am really happy with the way...

Came in a few days ago, but didn't get round to making pics immediately. Thinline bass, alder body with Koa top. Routed for MM pup and Gotoh 206 bridge - yeah, i think I may have received the very last one of those... The neck is plain maple with Pau Ferro fingerboard and Koa veneer peghead...
