Precision Bass Build | Burst Flame Maple Top | #asmr

I’ve always wanted to make my own precision bass. I’ve put a couple parts basses together but I’ve never made a solid body of my own. A few years ago I glued up a swamp ash body blank but never got past the glue up. So I picked up a flame maple top to go on that body blank and started on my very own bass. I cannibalized an older bass of mine for it’s electronics and measurements. I didn’t venture into making my own neck for this build, a replacement ‘51 Fender neck did the trick. Maybe I’ll try making a neck on the next one. Let me know if you have any questions on the build. Thanks for watching.

Loved it brother! Great job! Steel wool is the secret sauce to the blend - and you nailed it. Cheers!

I don’t play guitar but there sure is something mesmerizing about a guitar build.

[jackdavies]

Man that’s nice. I love a tele headstock on a p bass too! Not my taste in finish but I love the shape on the body, more blocky like a telecaster.

[JustFun-vcri]

[Gry-fsh]
