Back to BASS-ics
« on: June 27, 2009, 01:23:19 PM »
It's been a while since I posted any new projects on here
Partly because a couple of the last ones had no-BKP pickups (at customer request) so didn't seem to start threads on the BKP forum with them.

The other things I've been busy with are these beautiful basses

First up is a replica of John Entwhistle's Spider Bass





Then there is the 5 string Thunderbird style bass we made





Ok - here is the other guitar we made - another Lion (but with P Rails)

Here is that T-bird with it's alternative pickguard
Looks a bit more classic with the white in some ways

Compared to the black....

They all look great. I think you should post all your finished gear regardless of pickups

Those guitars look great. Whilst I prefer my basses to be Fender like, that T'bird does look the business.

All those guitars look fantastic! Especially the Entwhistle Bass.
Excellent work on them all!

Lovely, especially the Thunderbird.  I can't decide about the scratchplates - maybe a matt/textured black to match the pickups?

I LOVE that thunderbird! Have a bit of a soft spot for those and Firebirds.

Think I prefer the white on it, but bwb could look a bit classier to me rather than just the solid black it seems to have now.

those basses look great (and i don't even play bass :lol: ). I agree that the white scratchplate is nicer on the T-bird :)

Yes - discused the scratchplate with the owner of the bass
We have a template for it so he can order whatever colours he fancies.
He wanted the single ply black , but we'll happily make him a B/W/B or a tortoiseshell or whatever

It's a pewter colour that can look a bit blue under certain lights - see below



We've used it quite a bit in the past
This is a similar refinish we did a long while back to a Jackson Fusion that we built a new neck for - looks very gun metal here
