Members Jero Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 i'm just worried about destroying it with the strings. because i'm not clearcoating the fretboard Don't know if you saw, but (earlier post) I posted pics of my old bass that looks almost just like this...fretboard sticker and all. Point is, I played that thing for a long time, and the sticker I had on the frets remained unharmed...so I think you should be ok:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mlwarriner Posted February 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 so i got all the electronics last night, only to find that the pots won't go in the cavity, and i can't rout out to make room. so i'm ordering some mini pots from allparts. pondering what to use for knobs. i'm thinking one strat style, one gibson speedknob and one dice. the spare control hole will fit the look as well.

Members mlwarriner Posted February 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 also, for now at least, i've decided to forego the clearcoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the mismatched concept though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the mismatched concept though. Dam you! I was just about to say leave off one or more of the knobs. I'd go for a chicken head knob, a Gibson and empty on the last one.

I think GM has a collection of weird old knobs, maybe hit him up for something else, and definitely leave one off.My punk bass, Mabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually ordered a set of mustang knobs, takeout is going to give me a chickenhead, and i'll likely leave one post naked. plus - with the previous electronics, there were four holes. i'm only using three.

I don't know what, but you need to adorn the spare hole in some fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members oldivor Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 It would be more punk if you chopped off the top horn and actually put a dildo on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 It would be more punk if you chopped off the top horn and actually put a dildo on there. Umm... no. But that reminds me that the strap needs some duct tape holding it in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mlwarriner Posted February 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 A toggle that isn't connected and has no cap on the end. Umm... no. But that reminds me that the strap needs some duct tape holding it in place. there's definitely duct tape in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members solderjunkie Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'd put a spent shell-casing in the extra hole... stick it with a bit of epoxy, primer-end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
