well, since we dont have a forum for the musical, i figured this would be the place to post.
Came across this bass:
liked the body, but couldnt find any information about the company other than it was a japanese company called cipher, distributed in the US under the name Intermark. and its around 1960's era.
thats the only before pic i have, i took everything off, the neck was wasted, and the electronics beyond repair.
so this is how it sits right now:
filling in the holes and deep scars, still have to sand down the sides.
bought a used ibanez neck:
Plans are:
for the time being im going to replace the inlays with black dots,
12th and 24th fret will have a red bar inlay.
eventually it will be a clean (inlay free) bloodwood fretboard
Carbon fiber pickguard
Q-tuners humbucker pickups ---------If you play and havent seen these, i highly advise looking them up. cant wait to order mine.
Schaller roller bridge
and finally a Burnt orange finish.
I believe thats all. for now
