And that's the way I finished it, without the guard.
When I took it to a Slavantas rehearsal, our bassplayer Adrian remarked that it looked "Really Motley" sleek, like one of Nikki Sixx' custom spector basses.
But when putting the bass together I discovered a little f*** up...
I screwed up the pickup allignment with the position of the bridge and neck. And that means that I have to re-rout the pickup cavity or fit a smaller sized pickup. It means extra work and I made this bass to be sold and I can't put a bass with such a screw up for sale, It'll damage my name as a builder.
The upside is that it plays like a dream and it sounds like a grand piano, it really has that T-bird power happening with that big honking pickup and all the strings have even output besides not alligning properly with the pole pieces.
So Chris P if you're still into buying it from me, I can make you a good price because of my screw up, or you can wait until I rectify that mistake and buy it on the original asking price.
