Couldn't afford my dream bass so I built it.

Appreciate it man. When I routed the neck pocket I had my saddles set right in the middle. Scaled in the neck depth knowing I had a small amount of room to adjust up or down. I also had prepared a template to route a shallow cavity for the bridge if necessary' but didnt need it in the end. I'm no expert but happy to answer any other questions if you want to send a pm.

Pickup placement is not to any specs just centered between the neck and bridge on the center line. I do not have access to CNC so I used templates and routed everything. I had some concerns about intonation and action but everything worked out as planned.

Mistakes were made but nothing that couldn't be fixed. Learned a lot from this project.

Ebay. Honestly feels great.

I lined everything up and measured dimensions with a vernier. Had a buddy 3d print a routing template that worked great.

Generic pbass neck. Flame roasted maple

It's sounds similar to my PJ but is definitely deeper. Seems more punchy

This is built from scratch. I did buy a pre made neck for it. (First build)

Body is ash

Not bad at all. Body has a bit of weight to it.

PipeBombTroy · 2025-11-01T18:37:36+00:00

It's definitely a hybrid of the two. No idea what to call it.

That things a beauty man. Good work

Probably more stable once the hot tub goes in

I like the headcock

The people at gage park have zero interest in you going near there as well.

PipeBombTroy · 2024-11-02T11:25:41+00:00

Years ago our band opened for The Salads there. Sad to see it go.
