Seems like a bit of an anti climax now after all the fuss but here it is. I acquired this Mahogany from a job, it's spent the last 30 years as a patio door in an up market house. It's solid, straight and without any shakes. I got enough for 3 bass necks but I could have got more. The first neck will be 34" scale with Jazz Bass proportions and 4 string. I'll be posting pics of the progress of the build.
That's Ash, the next one will be one and a half inch Mahogany with a quarter inch birds eye maple cap, the mahogany will have routed cavities to reduce weight
Here's another one of my projects, this guitar started its life as a Silver Sparkle Squier Jagmaster, lots of routing, headstock re-shaping and a complete hardware swap and paint job, it became a Fender Jazzmaster. Everything used was genuine Fender
