1Q22 Challenge. Kits available.

GSPBASSES

If the doctor lets me back to work early next week, I will get stuck in to making some kits available for the 1Q 22 challenge. I already have 2 black guard T/C's available. I’m planning to do a couple of LP juniors DCs and single cuts, plus 2 double P90 RB6’s (the one’s that look like Les Pauls).

If anybody is interested in one of these kits, do message me and I will give you the full breakdown and price of what you get in the kit.

Happy New Year everybody.

Anyone wondering about getting involved in the 1Q22 challenge - any of these would be a great place to start. 

You'd be getting an excellent basic body/neck (incomparable to the cheapy chinese alternatives).  Then you just decide what hardware and finishing you want, and then "just" stick it all together ...

Wot? No basses?

A second would suffice, provided that it had a neck pocket to accept a Jazz Bass neck.

There will be at least one bass, either a P or J. 

The problem with supplying a Jazz bass body or a P Bass body, there is no real standard pocket size they can vary by several millimetres. I've just finished a Fender Bird with the customer supplying a genuine Fender neck that was nowhere near the size that it should've been. Although I suppose you can't really say that as it was a genuine Fender, but it was different to the last couple of bodies I've made to take Fender necks.

I am planning to supply a full kit all the electrics and hardware, a standard TC kits will be supplied with Wilkinson pick ups and hardware. But there will be an option but quite expensive to go Bearknuckle or Hot Rod pick ups.

The juniors and RB6's will have Hot Rod P90's, 

The reason I'm back in action is basically on doctors orders well sort of, won't bore you with the details. I'll be back in the workshop Tuesday, I still won't be taking direct commissions un less they are fairly standard. One of the things that I will be expanding on, is making neck's from solid Rosewood and Ebony.

And I’d concluded that Santa hadn’t received my wish list!

Now, a body like that, drilled for a Fender/Gotoh/BadAss type bridge and a pocket to accept a 63mm screw-on neck would be VERY INTERESTING.

What pick ups, all the fender birds I’ve made up to now have had some kind of soap bar handmade for the job.

Funkfingers

I would require pickup cavities for EMG35-sized soapbars. (Either actual EMG35s or Seymour Duncan NYC passives.) First, I need to contemplate exactly where I need the routs.

GSPBASSES

I do have a Fenderbird almost finished, the pick up rout's are for EMG 35s, they are placed where most of the Fenderbird's had there pick ups. It does take a Fender PBass neck 62mm neck pocket. There's still a bit of work to do to it, it's available if anyone wants it if @Funkfingers doesn't take it.

Funkfingers

Along as it isn't drilled for a Gibson three stud bridge, I am interested. How much?

ooh I missed this, just as I missed any relevant sales in the past. I'll probably regret this but anyway - any chance of a lefty Tele?

I haven’t got one in stock, but there could be one in the not too distant future, most likely not in time to join into this challenge.

thank you! Do drop me a message when it becomes available; I don't mind if it's too late for the challenge.

Fenderbird … almost finished … available … if Funkfingers doesn't take it.

Reader, I bought it.

Should arrive mid week. Project bass unlikely to be completed in time for the kit building thread.
