I had a build thread from a few years ago, but I just went back and checked it out and looks like all the pictures are gone!

Here's the bass I gig with now, it has a '73 Fender Musicmaster neck, a '98 Squier Vista Series Musicmaster body and bridge (string-through), a GFS "Lil' Killer" twin-blade Strat-sized pickup, a MOTS (Mother of Toilet Seat) pickguard that I got off eBay loaded with pots & jack from Stew-Mac.



Here's the neck, with the Hipshot Ultralite tuners (very good ones!):





...and here's the bass I'm working on now, which features a similar '73 Fender Musicmaster Bass neck (away for a refret), a '73 Fender Musicmaster Bass body (which will be finished black), a P-Bass bridge (which worked fine on the bass before), and Mustang Bass pickups, pickguard and controls. Obviously, I haven't routed for the pickups yet...



(more in the next post, can't put five images in one post!)

Cheers, Tim
