Not sure how many will appreciate this process/conversion but here goes. This bass came to me with “repaired” body damage. I felt a version of a German carve would be better. And a slotted headstock, and a baritone/bass vi conversion. I’ve made about as much progress as sawdust, meaning I’ve rendered it inoperable until more progress is made. Hopefully next weekend…
How it started…
How it’s going…
The headstock slots will get cleaned up and extended with a router before wood added to the sides and slotted locking tuners added. Bridge needs wood to support below but no need to fill it exactly. Because reasons. Plenty of guess work left to go. Updates when available. Paint already chosen.
