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
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.
Pre-dril holes for screws will help to not crack the wood or broke the screw. BTW nice build at final.
Pretty amazing! Looks and sounds good. Subscribed!
That is actually really sick! Good video Mr🙌🙌
awesome video!!
it looks good and it sounds good ... my gratulation ! reg Harald
thank you, sir.
I've learned a lot. Next build will be better.
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.
Hope you enjoyed the build
I loved the build. There was a few speed bumps along the way, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
good job man
Nice video. After the primer and colour, did you apply any finish coat? I think I would have contacted thomann about the screws..
Thank you! That means a lot.
I didn't use anything other then primer and the color itself. Maybe I should apply one?
I actually did contact them, and they offered to pay me back up to $10 if I bought new ones and showed them the receipt for the purchase.
The main issue was trying to fasten the tuners with the "screw remains" still in the headstock.
I was afraid that if I drilled the screws to pieces I would ruin to much of the wood to be able to fasten the tuners.
Hey nice build! What pickguard did you use?
Thomann had a HB "tortoise"pick guard for theire P-passes. Seams like they have removed it from the site.
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..
Maybe don’t hold the can so close the the bass when spraying but really great build
Thanks! Yeah, definitely. Lighter touch on the spraybox an further away is definitely something I could do better.
@@mortygill but still really great build
Does this kit come with the holes for the tuner screws predrilled?
Yes , they came predrilled. 🙃
@@mortygill oof, that's brutal that the screws didn't hold up then.
@@fistinair1979 It was a struggle. Should have bought a set at my local hardware store after the first broke.
@@mortygill yeah, you shouldn't have needed to though.
@@fistinair1979 Totally agree.
Why not just buy a p bass ? Everyone trying to copy it but can’t!
Mostly because it's a bit of fun. :)
Wanted to try something new.
100%, nothing beats a proper P-bass.
Awful color choice
nice vid, but that´s the worst paint job i´ve seen in my whole life ;)
This handy man fucked up this wood!🤌🏻
hahha thanks, Johan!
@@mortygill It's ok guy we're only young one time. It gets better with experience, practice & better tools.
@@american23t I think I did OK. I know what I can do better, if i put another instrument togheter. :)
