Teisco-Ventura Bass

This ended up being a pretty nice bass...

It's made from the following parts...
  • 1964 Teisco EB-100 short scale bass body and pickguard
  • 1968 Teisco EP-2T pots
  • 1969 Teisco E-110 pickup
  • 1971 (approx) Ventura 34" scale neck, tuners, and bridge
  • New ouput jack from Radio Shack

    The Ventura neck came off a PBass copy that had the body greatly damaged.
    The Teisco body came with a bowed neck and no electronics

    I first routed the body to fit the Ventura neck, then modified the pickguard to fit, and made a hole in the pickguard for the pickup.
    Then I mounted the bridge, and rerouted the bridge ground wire, and added the black piece of pick guard to cover that re-work.
    The pots came off a hollowbody Teisco. the pots cleaned up really well. no noise, but even with the volume turned to Zero, I still
    get a signal to the amp.
