Teisco Top Twenty Vintage Bass Guitar For Sale

 

I’ve just put the Top Twenty bass, that you might have seen me restoring last year, up for sale on eBay here’s the listing.

I’ve had great fun playing it, but with my Phoenix bass now complete, it’s time to pass it on.

Project Phoenix: VI........Completed!

 

Project Phoenix, the remaking of an archtop acoustic guitar that I made in 1977 into a semi-acoustic bass, is now complete. It’s been quite a journey but I’m extremely happy with the outcome. Have a look for yourself and many thanks for your support.

 

Project Phoenix: V

 In this episode, I look at making the bridge and tailpiece and then the final assembly. There’s also a bit of as surprise for you??

Project Phoenix: IV

 Time to get the neck joint sorted out and think about what happened to the old one!

Project Phoenix: III

With the body back together, the next step is to fully bind the body and also prepare a new neck blank.

Cheers Gary

Project Phoenix: II

In this video the back eventually gets reunited with the rest of the body!

Cheers Gary

 

Project Phoenix: I

This is a very different project to the usual. I’m starting something (not quite true I started it in 1977!) and I‘m not 100% sure what the outcome will be. Intriguing eh?
