That pickguard looks perfect on there! Nice job!

Thanks, I think it's rather attractive myself!

Yeah~ Lookin' real goood, doc!

Thanks! I still have to wait a couple weeks for the nitro to cure so I can sand and polish it up. This is the part I hate!

Interesting, how that bass looks white on these pics when it is in fact - I dare presume - TV yellow? There must certainly be an explanation for this phenomenon ...

You need to color sync your monitor

drbassman · May 24, 2008, 09:35:07 PM

the color is hard to visualize on computer. It's Fender Blonde which has a hint of yellow which looks darker online than in person.

Got the polishing finished this morning! Next we'll install the hardware, slot the nut and string it up for a trial run.

I love cherry vanilla. I didn't even think of that!

Daaaaamn!!I go visit my mom in RI and Doc gets out the pollish. Must be the kitchen is back to normal and the wife gave you a shop pass. I agree the waiting sucks. I screwed up my first couple projects being impatient.My hobbit HO has some surface defects that I will fix as soon as I finish another shortie.
Doc, your an inspiration.. I may do my moderne project in cherry vanilla!

drbassman · August 05, 2008, 12:45:21 PM

Yeah, the kitchen's done except for wall paper, which my wife is doing. She's got a meeting tonight so I'm in the shop for 3-4 hours, yeah!!!! I should be able to wire up the LP and fret the neck for the Vox HB.

A cherry vanilla moderne sounds nice. I think vintage white and red go so nice together.

On to the nut now...............

Barklessdog · August 06, 2008, 08:25:25 AM

Wow, that looks really nice.

Great Job, the pickguard really makes this bass cool.

shadowcastaz · August 06, 2008, 08:43:52 AM

That looks awesome. I hope Gibby doesnt get ideas from this. That should be a one of a kind.
