This is my first Nitro Guitar/bass Project. I have done other builds & Mods but never from a unfinished body.
So, I just finished! After a million coats of filler, sealer, white primer, color, clear and curing time, my first Nitro job is done. last week was wet sanding and polishing day. I also completed the bass final build. Note: had to take thing apart and do some touch ups around the pickups, but it all done and it a beast.
This is what I did:
Warmoth 72 PJ bass in Swamp ash that I finished in Fiesta Red
Warmoth 72 Tort Pickguard
Fender Roasted Maple Neck
Frailin Pickups - Creme
Babicz Bridge
Hipshot/Fender tuners with Extender
Passive electronics - Master Volume, 6 way Switch (Para, Series phase, etc) and a tone Push pull - In up position on 10 it is a mid boost, this basically cuts out the highs and low end. (Stingray sound).
It's the bass Fender never made, but shoulda.
