Dull boring bass project - don’t bother reading this

Decided I don’t need two PJ basses - and so the relic one is being split up (anyone want a Daphne Blue relic PJ body?) 

I need a standard P for gigging - so I’m building one. Asked Graham at @GSPBASSES for a cheapie P body - he had a B spec one that was kicking about and sent it over for a very reasonable sum.. 

It’s here now but the grain is beautiful.. it won’t be such a throw together after all...!

    Thought I’d try a Danish Oil again - different shade this time...

    The bench has needed something for a while - but it makes a lovely old rustic photo backdrop now ;) Mrs B hates it for that reason alone! :D

    Got any surplus bass necks, Mister? 
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

    I’m going to use the neck on this one... sadly. I bet graham has a whole pile in the workshop you could purloin ;)

    Nice idea but probably a touch extravagant for a Squier Affinity project.

    Get a nice handwound pickup set for it and a piezo bridge with an east Preamp...

    Careful Andy, or I might put a body and neck combo suggestion to you... you got any Masonite in stock? ;)

    It’s a hefty relic... 




    I’m using the neck for this one. If you fancy it drop me a PM ;)

    Happily not ;) :)

    Isn't Masonite that stuff that used to take Superman's powers away???

    Masonite is that stuff which corrupts police powers. ;)

    Got a tin of B&Q’s finest Colron Danish Oil.

    Dark Mahogany this time. Gonna take a few coats, but it’s certainly different!

    Would look interesting with that Schaller aged copper finish hardware.

    Hmmm... now if it wasn’t a cheapo Build I may well look into that..

    I probably will anyway as my willpower is weak ;)
