Another quick tip in regards to screws in guitars...I keep an old tube of chapstick that I lightly run the screw threads over, just enough to get some on one side of the threads befort putting them inot the wood. You'll be amazed at how much smoother the screws will go in without twisting the heads off or stripping the slots on the cheap screws usually included with guitar hardware and pickups.
It says Sealody on the iron so I don't know it's made by Hakka or ?? There are a bunch of different brands out there that all look the same. At any rate, it has worked great for several years now.
Hi Chris again, when making a stingray humbucker style pickup or similar, where the magnets are in two separated and paralel lines, would you keep setting the magnets in reverse for each line? the ones in the "lower" bobbin N up/S down and the bobbin on top with S/N pole magnets??
Getting closer to the finish line. I really like wood surface closeup when you install the pickups. 10:27 That's the only thing I'd critique. It's like a sore thumb between all the fantastic work you do. That continued logo on the truss rod cover is a cool detail. I love how you layout on the heastock. If you had to buy a sander like that again, do you see merit in the broader belt design vs. a really small one? I want to get one for sanding my bone nuts.
@@onpsxmember I didn't bother to tighten the screws down all the way since I knew I'd likely revisit the wiring during final setup. That is the absolute last step.
@@HighlineGuitars the poles are exposed/visible at 5:32 when you start soldering in the eyelets, I didn't realise this was the bottom bobbin and the poles went all the way through, I had always assumed they sat on some kind of base... I guess I haven't seen a pickup in these early stages before and didn't know they went all the way through... well there you go!

This Bass has turned out so well. I can't wait to see the finished product. Thanks again for sharing your craft do well.

Great job, as always! Beautiful bass! I really like the way you explain what and why you do. Thank you!
Love this start to finish build series videos!!! Cheers from Puerto Rico!!!
Its awesome that you've gotten into doing a bass & looks nice !!
Amazing series! Thank you so much!
I see that you use a Hakka 936 soldering station. I have had mine for years and it still works great. I am loving the walnut body on that bass.

And what are you seeing at 10:27?

The edge of the cover sticking up on the side of the jack while being flush on the other end.

Sorry, didn't know that. It would be so not you to leave something like this.
eyelets/wiring points on the top face of the pickup? wouldn't the wires from the pickups get squished/crimped by the case?
The eyelets and wiring are on the bottom face of the pickup bobbins, not the top.
@@HighlineGuitars so the poles feed all the way through both the top and bottom bobbins?
