| Yup, just finish to talk to my sister and she gave me the idea to refinish the headless to sell it! But then I thinked and decided to rebuild it.
Then general idea:
1.Remove all the paint.
2.Thin the neck(I founded the neck too large so why not resolve the problem!)
3. Cut the wings.
4. Make new wings.
5. Fill the jazz pickup cavity.
6. Paint the new bass.
And I'll do that before doing my first complete build to have more experience. I'll more likely do a P bass body since i've got a very bad P-bass gas for the moment.
Gotta love my sister! | |

| always nice to have a "beater bass" around for experimenting with. I just bought this old Kramer plywood bass for 80 bucks and is a real POS in tone, but has a lot of potential to be a one of a kind as well... . | |

| You want one? I can keep mine for you if you want it? But beware, it's in bad condition(wood chipped on the body) | |

| Great idea, Noob! I also enjoy throwing together things to see what I can create, or in my case, destroy! MIKE! DUDE! You are SO right on about that Guild Pilot! Were it not for the headstocks (you know, me and me string angle issues!), I'd probably own one! Every single one I have ever jammed on was like a dream! The feel, the playability, the balance, the look, all of it! | |

| Some of the Guild basses were so nicely made. If I ever got a hollowbody, I'd want it to be a Guild. | |

| True, very similar!!! But the guild looks like it have a slimmer body than the Futura, or is it just camera angle? | |
