Here are a few pics of a finished project. Unfortunately it did not ocurred to me to take photos while I was building it.
I accidently bought a short scale Squier Bronco bass neck on e-bay for £30 after a few beers. It sat around for a couple of years while I was waiting for inspiration. Eventually, I decided on a little cross between a Mustang and a baby Jazz Bass.
The body was hand carved out of a slab of sapele (wich is practically the same as mahogany). This was sprayed surf blue, to which I added a hand-cut brown tortoishell scratchplate, and fitted a Jazz Bass style bridge pick-up and bridge.
After a few more beers I decided to add a Fender decal on the headstock. Very naughty, I know, but this bass was never meant to be for sale.
