My latest bass project.

[timboZ]

This was my first bass. It's an old peavey.
I lent it to my nephew and it came back trashed.

So I figured it was time to rebuild it.

I put a thru body bridge on it and made a new pick guard out of aluminum diamond plate.

Still need to do some minor filing on the pick guard and solder the electronics.

Cool!
Two lessons here ..
1. How to do some neat repairs to a trashed axe.
2. Don't lend your stuff to ANYONE

AMEN brother.

I think I have more in it than it is worth but I always liked the feel of the neck. It is a bit heaver than before.
