Yep, I'm gonna do a Jag bass, hollow, with (maybe) one Model G pup at the neck. What do ya think? Scott?
iN shortscale man, that's is a killer comi jag body, Short scale neck. Love it before you even start
Hollow and with the body contours?

Bill, Il like the Hollow Jag concept but I think one Model G at the neck will leave you with a very woofy bass. I like these pups in the sweet spot, combined with the coil splitting it makes for a very versitile arrangement.
hmm... I've always thought of them as F*nd*r's "reverse Jazz", somehow, but then I'm kinda space-for-rent at times... could be interesting... 8)
I see your point Scott. Maybe I'll just have to use those nice sounding 1968 DeArmond made Coronado bass pups I kept for myself and a future project. I think they'd look cool on a Jag shaped HB. Yep, that sounds like a better idea!
No tummy or top contours for this one since I'll be doing double bound body on it. I'm probably going with a solid color as well. Fiesta red or sea foam green maybe?!? The neck will probably be maple board, bound and with pearl inlays. ;)
F-hole/s or not? I haven't decided.
Seafoam green would look great.

seafoam w/ amber tint nitro.Me votes yeah! :mrgreen:
Oh yeah Mike, that looks nice!
That P bass doesn't look like seafoam green to me, that's more like lime.
Here's what I mean:

Yeah, that's more like it. I think the tint took it into the lime green realm. I'm also thinking maybe a light blue like RR's Sonic Blue or even lighter like the old 60's TBs.
I was thinking, should I do a matching headstock on this one? :)

But of course, mon ami!!
I'm not big on matching headstocks in most cases, but for a seafoam green or sonic blue Jag type I think it would work fine.
Go for the matching head would be my opinion, which is generally agreed to be not worth the brains its thought upon... ;)

I've always liked matching headstocks on Fenders, so I might just go for it on this build.
even your tuners are multi colored.

Yeah, Kenny never saw a color he didn't like!

Kinda more like an ol '56 Chevy :mrgreen:
I am pretty much a fan of matching color headstocks regardless of make and model. I just like 'em.
This new build will have it for sure!
The refin I have planned for the RD is in the bag, bar the experiments for the works, but the PC is still very much up-in-the-air - my daughter is studying surrealism in her art classes at present; maybe I should enlist her for the "thinking outside-of-the-box tank"... ;)
Bryan... the tuners are easy - all the hardware (including the pups) was originally gold and when I broke one I could not find direct replacements so I stripped the new ones down and fitted the "wings" on them, to maintain a bit of continuity in the scheme, prior to "Tequilaification"...
Bill... so many colours... so little time... ;D
