New Bass Build
So I'm having a second attempt at building a bass. It's a fender offset style.
So far I've managed to laminate a quarter sawn utile/maple/utile neck blank and get the truss rod in place. Not easy without a router...too noisy. Next step is gonna be the maple fretboard then onto a chambered utile body with a maple cap.
Going to be heavy I know but it's easily available and fairly cheap to learn on.
I'm starting this thread to document my progress.
Thoughts and comments welcome.
