Slappin De Bass Mahn! Musikraft MJT bass project w/racing stripes.

[DaveL]

 

Hi,  here's  project that I'm getting all the parts together for.    I ordered a beautiful Musikraft Jazz bass neck last

year (Fender Custom Shop 60's profile, nice dark rosewood board,  slightly flamey headstock...)  I shot this months

ago with Oxford Vintage Formula clear with a little Stew mac aged clear in between and then more clear...  then

it sat...  Found this cool body on ebay        would have preferred a lighter aging on the front so I could go guardless

but I might still anyway...    I've already aged the hardware (vintage style nickel bridge, string guide) and the Gotoh

nickel tuners arrive next week.     Going more for more of a vintage vibe rather than true vintage accuracy...   the dude who

sprayed this was a Lions fan for sure...    nice weight on the body (4 and some change)   Will have a Fender style "Fredo"

logo...    pics,  enjoy.

Love the MK stuff - it’s the best.  Digging this project - more Fredos out there is a good thing.  I’ve got Musikraft Jazz Bass necks on a few builds.  Just recently finished this one with the invaluable efforts of one Mr. Stike:
