4/12/2010 Update!!! It is about time!



Wow it has been a month since I have got to work on anything new. I did get some good work done yesterday and I am happy with the progress. I got the neck cut out and ready to route the truss rod, and get the final thickness of the neck done. Once I do this I can begain to shape the neck and attache the fingerboard. I also was able to make a new template for my truss rodes so I will not have to worry with that any more. I have been making templates more latley because I want to be able to reproduce everything I build more quickly and easier. They make life so much better. Anyway please look at the pictures and let me know your thoughts.



You can see in the pic to the right the neck blank with the fingerboard lying next to it. Below is the neck blank getting cut out before I add the neck template to rout it to it's final shape.

Here you can see the neck after I have routed out the shape of the neck and pre-drilled the tunner wholes.









Here you can see what the bass will look like once it is done and I am ready to see it finished because it is going to be a looker. To the right you can see the back of the bass with the matching control plate. Let me know your thoughts.

Play On!
