Mudfuzz's meandering, ever changing project idea thread...

[Mudfuzz]

That would be going a bit far.. I'm thinking about the same size as the star here..

Nerd pride yo!

I mean this thing is for recording anyway, I doubt I'll ever play out with it...

[Mudfuzz]

Found a pickguard and ordered stickers

Looks like I am going to have to make a ring for that bridge pickup Thinking plexi glass ATM, I might do one for the TV too so they match... I hate routing plexi but I want it to look right.. wood would be easy, and I could paint it black but for some reason that feels lame...

[Achtane]

Right on!

You should paint the underside of the plexiglass

[Mudfuzz]

Yep, I is black.

Guard


Sticker

I'm getting 4 of them just in case.

Also [pending on what the bod actually looks like in person] Red might be in the running for re-fin...

[Mudfuzz]

Body and guard came, fit neck, took pict...

[Achtane]

Awesome! Super awesome!

[Bassus Sanguinis]

oh my, that's one swinging bass!

[Mudfuzz]

Yeah it's cool! not going to re-fin it's too chewed up, to do so I would have to rebuild edges, which I know how to do, but... I like the mojo it has, this thing really got the shit beat out of it. Body is Philippine mahogany which a lot of 60's Japanese guitars were made out of, it's a really light wood, my electra MPC was made out of it and that guitar was good sounding it had more lows and less mids/sustain like a real mahogany body would have... I think this will work out for the sound application I have in mind which is a bass to play lots of chords on Gunn'a have to add a little wood under the bridge pickup and I still need to think on the ring things..

Ring #1
I ended up turning the routing template I had into a pickup ring

[bob the r0bot]

That huge ring reminds me of a ric.

[Mudfuzz]

That huge ring reminds me of a ric.

I know. But I'm going by the imprints in the body for size... those are some big holes.

[Mudfuzz]

I changed my mind again







I don't know why I keep doing this with this project...

[Achtane]

wat

[Mudfuzz]

Well I got this deal on a mustang body you see... and I wouldn't have to re-drill a vintage neck and stuff...

edit..

It's a MIJ reissue one, in off white... I'm asking for a quote on a PG in this color routed for a filtertron.
