Another bass guitar

[Mikey R]

Hey everyone,

I recently went on the Shuker guitar building course in the Peak District.

http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/course.htm

Heres what I came out with:

White ash body, curly maple top, maple and purple heart neck with a maple fingerboard. The stain is alcohol based and the finish is shot with satin PU.

Ive got some progress shots if anyone would be interested in seeing them.

Now instrument #002 is under my belt, Im more confident about building them in less time with fewer mistakes. Im off to San Francisco for three months, but when I get back I'll be getting a new house with garage to fit out as a workshop. Either that or get a bandsaw in the living room. :twisted:

Not much - £675 - and that includes all materials and tuition! Most worthwhile holiday I ever had
