Wicked Longhorn.

[oigun]

What can one better do on a holiday than spent some time on his obsession?
I got a longhorn bassbody from Saf so I give it some rebirthing therapy.
First routed the top off

Glued together a new one


Trimmed it flush. Now I have to figure out the neck

O my goodness, I noticed that Longhorn Danelectro(?) body in one of your pics in the bass-build thread and thought perhaps you had an order from The Golden Earring's bass player...



I'm sure your skills are going to work wonders on the Longhorn too

Routed the tr channel

Endstop:

fitted everything and waxed the rod and the underside of the fillerstrip

lightly clamped to ensure my truss will not get stuck.

Made the fretboard

Glued.

I wound the pickup and used the MOT cover I made before.
Painted and assembled I was in such a flow that I didnt take any pics

Tadaa!!

Beautiful! Rivals the ones that Jerry Jones makes ... And you can be as creative as you want to be with the colors, p'up, etc ... Great job!

Wow! That looks great! How does it sound with the Mosrite style pickup?

[Veenture]

What a fine job. I just love the look of that attractively figured Maple neck

[oigun]

Thnx guys!
I didnt try it on a real bassamp yet but on my peavy DB it sounds great. From deep reggae to funky tones! I'm a happy camper.
When playing it on my lap I realise what a great designer Nat Daniel was, its really a comfortable instrument.
