That picture above is just a photoshop mock-up.
But I'm making good progress with the build.
I won't soil this topic with tons of pictures.
But here's the latest pic:
Just bought two nice pieces of mahogany. And started sawing, routing, sanding etc.
The pickup that I'm using was originally a Seymour Duncan BassLines Quarter Pound that I scored off Ebay some years ago. But I had it rewound because it was dead.
I have yet to decide on the exact location of the pickup, but I'm leaning towards the position of a Music Man Sting Ray (as seen in the mock up).
I chose the single coil fifties P style because I want the bass to be a bit of a hybrid between a fifties Fender P and a fifties EB-0.
I'm building this bass for Greg Chaisson (ex Badlands).
