I am very happy with how it is coming along. The strings are due to arrive tomorrow, should be a busy day getting the electrics done and hopefully doing a full set up before the final clean up and pics.
Didn't get as much time as I had hoped today. Managed to get all the wiring done, but the other bits will have to wait until tomorrow.
The spaghetti wiring which was completed yesterday. I had some left over copper sheet, so put it over the soldering on the back of the pots.
Made a truss rod cover this morning.
And tested in place.
Then gave it a coat of oil. It will need more but it will do for now.
I then got it all strung up and everything in place for the weigh in, the screen on our scales is a bit dim, time for a new set.
It shows 7.3 1/4 lbs. which isn't too bad. Happy with that.
Glamour shots coming up next.
Extremely pleased with how it has come out. I am not a bass player, this is the one I will be learning on, so no sound clips just yet.
Yes, it just slots in place and is a nice tight fit.
Thanks Jez. The wife loves it, she wants it hung up on the living room wall next to the oak hollow body guitar I made a couple of years ago.
Having never played a bass guitar before, I have got to say this is a revelation for me, it is very comfortable moving up and down the neck and plays extremely well. I have been using it on rocksmith constantly for the past couple of days and having a lot of fun.
I know RS isn't the best way to learn, but I don't have a bass amp yet so using this through my PlayStation with my 5.1 speaker set up is the best option at the moment.
It's funny how I am finding using a plectrum so much easier on the bass, with guitar I always use fingers and keep the nails on my right hand longer for plucking. I am struggling with the fingering techniques on bass, but will persevere with it. Hopefully when I get a bass amp I will be able to concentrate better on the different techniques.
