Before high school, I somehow convinced my dad to buy me a 5-string bass, and it turned out to be my favourite bass for several years. As soon as I got another 5-string, however, this bass ended up getting beat up, and turned into a project bass - I was in high school, liked taking things apart, and had access to a wood shop. It was in questionable condition by the time I graduated, and it found itself in parts under my bed more than once.

In 2019, during university, I finally decided to put it back together one more time so I could play it again. Since I wasn't satisfied with the refinish I did in high school, I also decided to do another finish in the process. It's a few years late, but I figured you guys might be interested in seeing what I did. Hope you like it!

Also, if you're interested in checking out this and other stuff I work on, I post them on my Instagram as well: @noam.anglo

Thank you! Not so much anymore since I moved cities, but I still go out and jam here and there.

What aspects of the job do you think having a bolt on neck to work with eases?

A fellow five stringer! I remember when 5 string bases were really rare. Now it seems like they're everywhere.

I haven't worked on enough guitars to say. I did build a very shitty neck-through once, so I can kind of imagine the difference, but I don't think it would have been that different either way.

Honestly, the biggest aspect that I appreciated was that the bolt-on neck gave me an opportunity to have a completely different finish on the neck vs. the body. Choosing the colors was fun and I think the contrast came out awesome.
