Knox Bass 3.0

[Knox in Box]

So I pimped my beloved mutt Harley Benton bass again. Routing was just done freehand with a Dremel and could be better, but also could have gone a lot worse. Hey waddaya want with a bass I got for 40 bucks in an unusable state years back?

Got these pickups on eBay Classifieds for 35 bones salvaged from a Schechter. Bridge sounds growly on its own like a stingray, p bass is ceramic, 10k and sounds round and full. Together they compliment each other fantastically. I decided not to do could split on the bridge because I've never liked jazz bass bridge pickups anyways...

And no, I am taking no offers on the green paisley shirt. Just sit there and be jealous.

If you go around the edge of the Dremel route with a straight edge, and a thin black permanent-marker, drawing a few slight lines, you can effectively make the rough route edges visually disappear. Just a thought.

I'm not concerned about it really. This thing is lucky it's not in a landfill the way I bought it and had to make it usable.

It must be more concerning to me. I prefer easy cheats that make my workmanship look better than actual.
