Title: P bass build with Activators.
Post by: fivestringdan on August 14, 2022, 06:53:08 PM
This is a prototype build of mine. I have an Activator P bass set that I'm installing this week so I thought I'd share a picture of the bass. I'll post some more when I get some hardware on it.

That's a nice two toned piece of wood. What type?

Bookmatched Honduran Mahogany. I wasn't expecting it to look that way. Color changes with light direction. Looks cool in person.

Here is a picture of the body without the two toned color. Also mocked up the bridge and pickups to see what it would look like.
