Jazz Bass Update

I've got almost all of the parts I need now, and I've started painting. I put the primer and color on the body and headstock this morning, and hope to spray some clear tomorrow if the humidity burns off a little. This bass is gonna be badass. I think I may even get the rest of the electronics Saturday, so this thing will be playable very soon.

On another note, my dad just purchased a new TV. It's a HP plasma, we also got a wall mount that has yet to be installed, and new receiver to make use of the surround sound. Oh yeah, It's also a 42 inch screen, it's pretty fucking huge to say the least. We actually had to remove the rear seat and take some stuff out of the TV box to make it fit in the car. The mount and stuff that came out of the box fit in the trunk, and my dad held the receiver in his lap. I can't wait till the Saturn dies so I can get a car that can actually haul something easily. With my luck, that piece of crap will last another 4 years.

More new CRAP!

I traded my Warwick for this,






















A peavey Axcelerator 6.
35 in Scale
Maple/Pao Ferro Neck/Fretboard
VFL Pickups/2 band pre-amp
Poplar Body

After I get the paint I ordered, I'll start updates about the Jazz in-progress.

More NEW Stuff

So, I gots me a new amp














Now I'm building myself a new bass
It's basically a Custom Fender Jazz 1962 RI on a budget:

• Jazz body (alder?) currently red, but it'll be painted white
• Lefty Warmoth maple neck/rosewood fretboard, going to have a matching headstock
• Fender Custom Shop 60's Jazz Pickups (as close to a 1962 pickup as I can get, new)
• Concentric/Stacked V/T for each Pickup
• Chrome hardware
  

Total cost so far, about $500
Fender Custom Shop Jazz with same features, about $2500-3000

I think I'm a genius.
