Tele-Bronco, Version 2.0
The time finally arrived to take my Tele-Bronco to Ver. 2.0.
Here's where you can check Ver. 1.0: http://www.tdpri.com/forum/bass-plac...ml#post1157936 Ver. 2.0: ![]() ![]() ![]() I added vol/tone controls with a .100 cap., contoured the body front and back, put on three coats of Stew-Mac Cherry Red tint plus clear coats and fitted Hipshot Ultralight tuners. |

Nice. I like everything except for the extra long thumb rest.
Ever seen a bass with a carved in groove for a thumb rest instead of a mounted on thumb rest ? I wonder if it's possible ? Hmmm ????

The long thumb rest was my "tone control" when the pickup was wired directly to the jack. Yes, I've seen a groove for a thumb rest. I don't remember the brand but what they had was a sort divot made by a router bit or end mill run at an angle to the body. |
