Hilarious how this design was an April fools joke on jag-stang which then got circulated on other forums and laughed at.... Yet I think it is one of the coolest bass designs ever. The JS body arguably works better with the extended scale. Cannot wait to see this
Punc/Cooter - would that neck pocket work with any stang bass neck? What about bronco necks? I'd seriously consider ordering a body in the future as I want a Shortscale bass.

Richard can make any neck pocket route that you would like. (:

Used the spare mikey way bass parts and my bronco to build a cool bass parts stang. Yes the control plate is made out of cardboard haha. I'm debating on getting a black one made out of pickguard material instead of getting a chrome one. But the cardboard works for now haha. The bronco neck fit pretty good. A little snug. The bridge I just measured and lined up the best I could. I think it came out good. Plays good. Might get a Fender bridge cover for it to fill out the mustang bridge look but maybe not. Looks good as is.

GOD DAMN SONS!
Great work all around, I really dig this damned thing, wish I had spotted the project thread earlier on, but whatever
my thoughts:
- Rock the designed by, fuck the haters, This looks a fuck of a lot closer to that odd scrap-booked design he sent fender then the guitar does..
- I dig the plate with toggle, but then again I like the little bit of extra chrome.

Did you ever complete your poorly modified Mustang build, Punk?

Complete except paint. That, my offset prototype 2, and my duosonic are all in a pile ready for paint. I just don't have the money to get them all done right now with restoring my Mustang (car) The Jag-Stang bass will be the first to get painted though

Neck is completely done. All glossy like a stock Fender neck.

Yeah... I haven't updated this in a while. Mr. Cobain took forever testing it out and approving it. It's currently sitting in a box awaiting paint... Here's something to drool over for now.

Can't wait to see it completed, I think it's much more attractive than the guitar.

+1. Fender should make this bass. I like everything you have done with this guitar.
