Great Jon on that bass! It looks a lot like my 1st customer rebuild. Makes me want to a tortoise shell pickguard. I have a red PJ bass that began life as an SX $109 PJ bass. I kept the alder body. Added Warmoth J neck, graphite nut, Dimarzio PJ pickup set, CTS pots (except tone was out of stock), & Shaller bridge & machine heads. Just went with Tru-oil finish on birdseye maple neck. That bass is setup for BEAD tuning, & is as good or better than any bass I’ve owned. That said I’ve had 2 70’s Ricks & a ‘72 Jazz.sorry for spelling

Nice work for first. Next time if you spray don't hold the can that close. Hold it around 20-30 cm from the surface. Also try to slowly move your hand one direction from the other, that way the paintjob will be more consistent. There are a lot of videos here about spraying technics.

nice vid, but that´s the worst paint job i´ve seen in my whole life ;)
@chriswilliams10967 ай бұрын
Not bad for a first attempt. Next time, maybe don't hold the spray can so close and use thinner coats. Spend a little more time with the sandpaper and the paint will look better. The main thing is that it sounds good and you had some fun building it. The feeling of satisfaction in building something yourself is well worth the time and effort.

That’s a fantastic tone. I’ve seen other videos about V7 vintage but they don’t sound like yours. For instance this one: kzbin.infoPcdohC9DkMI?si=JHh4Nieu5uzvu8Fx I’m wondering how you achieved this tone and how you recorded the bass. Thanks.

I suggest you put the matching video part and the audio together as many times it's literally not what you did (like no bend etc).

Hi David! Thanks for commenting and watching. It's relatively light. I own a T-Type Harley Benton and it's SOOO heavy in comparison. I feel like it's very individual from guitar to guitar. from HB.

I like the headstock accent, execution could of course be improved but gotta start somewhere :-) some more sanding and bit more practice cutting. Maybe work on the paint, there's good tutorials on the tube. I'm pondering restoring a very old j bass copy I've had laying around for ages and I probably couldn't do much better. It needs a new neck..

Nice fiddle man. I've been looking at those too. Harley Benton is killing it right now. I just don't know how they do it. They really are good instruments. It sounded good in that jam. I've been looking for a review, that's focused on grunge music. That solo gave me a taste of what I was looking for. So thanks for that. 👌🤘

I must admit I'm not sure, but feels similar to medium jumbo frets. It's actually very heavy. Alot heavier than my Les Paul Traditional 50's spec.
