1299482	2012-09-07 13:29:00	I'm building electric basses . The greenish one is a replica of a 1953 Fender Telecaster-style bass but with the body cutaway and arm relief . It has an 'Antiquities' single/exposed bobbin coil and a NOS (New, Old Stock) 'Chocolate' tug bar which are getting pretty rare, but unfortunately NOT a single screw version (rats) .

JPG" target="_blank">lh5 . googleusercontent . com I have the true authentic Fender chrome bridge, p'up covers and a real Fender single ply pickguard for it . The control knobs - where I deviated a bit more from original parts, are mother-of-pearl inserts over fine knurled chrome . This bass had been built a year or so ago before I decided I wanted to go from 1956 Packard Green to 1957 Buick Arctic Blue .

It has real 1966 Fender Precision split coil pickups but with new exposed core covers on them . I normally won't rebuild a bass from another brand as I am stuck on Fender and Ibanez as my weapon of choice, but this presented a unique challenge to me to repair and rebuild it but to my own specs .

JPG" target="_blank">lh3 . googleusercontent . com On the yellow one, I had a very badly water damaged neck lying around and just defretted it and took it down to a new profile, added white filler material in the fret wire grooves and will have it completely refinished in another 24-36 hours or so .

Oh --- I make my own necks usually, but I have bought an unfinished one from time to time . The triple penguin logo is registered as mine as is the 'TUXEDO BASS' name .

My quest is to prove that wood makes no difference in a solid body bass or a guitar . There is no actual resonance or frequency 'sweet spot' to a slab of wood and so I am building them out of some very unorthodox woods . In this case, I used left over Hemlock and Douglas Fir wood from a construction project on which I worked:: PIX 1: . googleusercontent . com/-33qCjQpuRcI/Tf6cYuBi-JI/AAAAAAAAImo/OQz6bfYR1AI/s640/100_8137 .

No - not really as I didn't go to trade school for the stuff I do. I just decided one day to make my own. 'Luthier' is somewhat a prestigious title and I'm not in that crowd. I had a Les Paul Special and it was so heavy that I got rid of it. Besides, I didn't think it 'fit' into the scheme of my bass collection, which only has Fenders, Squiers, a couple of Ibanezes and some of my own design. I did build a new body for a totally destroyed Gibson 'Strat-style' that I had damaged when it fell off a rooftop onto the freeway at 65+ MPH::: PIX1: lh4.googleusercontent.com PIX 2: lh5.googleusercontent.com PIX 3: lh6.googleusercontent.com Eventually it has to be refinished again as the paint is not compatible with the primer and it's developing some spider-crazing in the finish. Kinda looks kewl though in an 'Industrial-Punker' fusion style.	SurferJoe46 (51)
