Building a Bass

After my Telecaster build, my arm was twisted to build as bass guitar. I’ve always thought P bass’s were cool, and sound great. It wasn’t long before I started to gather the bits I needed.

P Bass body, scratch plate, CTS pots and Tone Rider Precision Plus pickups

It wasn’t long before I was soldering the electronics and putting them into the scratch plate along with the copper shielding.

The rest of the build came together quite quickly, because of my learnings from the Tele build. Both guitars have very similar parts and are built in the same way.
