I’ve used crimson stains and their finishing oil...but I’ve used Danish, Liberon finishing oil, tung oil and True oil. They all have there advantages and disadvantaged. Yup, I've got a shelf full of...

So here are the lyrics: Dit is voor de misfits die je her en der alleen ziet staan Die onder straatlantaarns eten en drinken bij de volle maan Dit is voor degenen die je overal herkent En deze is vo...

A couple of years ago a cd was recorded with several bands who over the years had performed on the local "Rock Urbanus" festival. Each band two tracks. This is one of the tracks we recorded with Lemon...

intriguing pieces of music! I think that's the most complimentary comment I've ever had @marcel 😉

By the way, last januari Hein was signing his latest book in a book store in Amsterdam. Made me this cartoon in my copy. Attachment : image.png The man on the left says:"Next!"

Apart from playing in my own bands I get asked as a substitute (or temporary worker as I call it) bass player every now and then. Two years ago I was asked to do a gig with a band named "Pitch & T...

@tv1010101 intriguing pieces of music!

Apparently his dad wanted him to play right handed early on and he would if dad was around....

Saw him on TV last at Woodstock and he was playing a RH one strung left handed. I think he played either way as well - don't know which way is best when playing with your teeth though!

Think he could play strung either way....

@darrenking I'm sure I've seen film of him playing a RH guitar without changing the strings at all i.e. upside down. I know this sounds stupid but it was a common thing with US players in the 60s &...

I seem to remember reading or hearing somewhere that Jimi’s RH Strat was simply turned upside down and strung for the LH Jimi with no changes to the pick ups or electrics. Does anybody know if this is...

Which stains / oils? I’ve been using Crimson’s stains exclusively for a few years now, and not had that issue. I’ve used crimson stains and their finishing oil...but I’ve used Danish, Liberon finish...

, it was purely a joke Ah, well, in that case .... 😆

@johnnierox-boo I’ve got a confession to make, .......... (I’m so ashamed)........... I used to buy kit guitars to build at home It’s OK ... your secret is safe with me. I don’t see anything wrong w...

I think the risk with a loose truss rod is the “truss rod rattle” effect. Thats not a good effect ... 🙄

Cheers @johnnierox-boo. I did think about doing all sorts of fancy things with pickups and switching .... but ended up with it being about as traditional as it could possibly be! I can’t take any cr...

The truss rod slot didn't go well. I had a practice on a bit of scrap and although my router edge guide is a bit shoogley, it turned out ok. Not so good on the actual neck, the slot got a bit wide in ...

I got a bigger see through base made for my router now from 6mm makralon. Also glued two cheeks on to the neck to make it wide enough for the headstock. This turned out not to be a good idea as I now...

I’ve used stain and oil. It does lift some of the stain but if you leave long enough between drying and coats it usually comes out grand 👍🏻
