Hangar 87 Recording Studio

So project #5 is a jazz bass ! I went crazy with the finish this time going for a black over gold. This is a nod to the instruments that were refinished at the fender factory in the 60s when a special order came in for a less common color. The likehood of an aztec gold finish overpainted in black is a bit slim though. paint by pickup from will be added this week

New trick as part of my guitar building adventures: for my Jazz bass, I am going for black over gold. You may say “what is the point ?” Well, when relicing the aztec gold finish will appear in some of the damaged areas!

Build #004 a barncaster esquire or “de plank” with a fender prototype snakehead headstock. A single pickup definitely rocks

When you realise you are a NERD… I for example spent severals hours this week removing all panels in the control room of my studio, preparing and painting wooden brackets to then reinstall everything 6 cm further from the wall. this is totally normal to me as it will save me a tiny bit of better control of low mid frequencies… thanks Niels Neven from for the tip

Starting with guitar build #4: this time I’m going for a Jazz bass. Based on body and neck, which I must say come with a level of finishing that is top notch… Now again the fun start with the paintwork and finding all the nice parts.

Cooking the good old convertors during Cinderman mix !

Build #3 ready leaning against a dual 50 amp. Pretty happy with the vintage vibe on this one. 65 set and fixed bridge (no trem) makes this quite special
