Well this has opened up a whole can of lentils! I think the last couple of posts from tv ten ten and Ihab hit the nail on the head. One sees the Bailey brand as a niche local enterprise for guitar bu...

But Mark needs the views/viewers on YouTube, 5000 subscriber for the amazing Mark & Carol doesn't make me happy at all. 100,000 maybe I can partially smile then. I think you have to keep in mind ...

Live streams have their own advantages that it would give a certain confidence to whoever is watching that there is Mark who is doing it on the spot, down to earth with all the mistakes that we all do...

I voted live streams, but you can download them and chop them up and do a best bits kinda deal. There is a place for both kinds of videos though. Quality of the live streams is great though

@jamesbisset do I detect a faint desire for an archtop session? I have always been just that little bit psychic (it's from my great grandmother's side of the family you know!) I think I may have found...

How to fit different bridges i.e. Gotoh wrap over, Wilkinson, tune-o-matic, Hannes, Floyd rose. How to work out exact placement and alinement plus correct height For neck angle to hit the bridge corre...

I'm plugging into a Laney TT50 combo. Great amp..... 3-channels, full midi-switching and loud as..... Well, not directly... In between is a pedal board with a GLAB GSC-4 midi looper/switcher, volume p...

Roland GR20 Synth anyone? It was Mr Deej asking a different question on a different topic that reminded me. I've been through a few midi outputting guitars (started with a Brian Moore something, then ...

Tops! I am going to try it sometime!

I was told that stain + oil = recipe for disaster I've never had a problem, and I've stained + oiled quite a few guitars now. Although they never get too sweaty. I've not done a proper world tour fo...

Nice one Tone........... I wonder: I was told that stain + oil = recipe for disaster. This looks great though, is the finish holding under sweaty circumstances?

I've got a 6 foot long strip of 12V LEDs pinned to the underside of a shelf above my workbench. Also an old angle poise lamp attached to the same shelf that I can pull down closer to the bench.

On a coupe of visits I stayed in a B&B and on another I stayed in apartment Carol had manage to source for me and fellow builder (And other Dave aka Bones). Both were very reasonable.

Wow! That’s a very kind offer, I hope I am around when you visit. It would be nice to meet you (all of us) one day. @clinton agreed! @johnnierix-boo - feels like we should have some sort of meet-up ...

Beautiful. Love the steel guard.

I admit it. I have put a bass together, and even played it. This was more of an exercise in finishing and adding a couple of tweaks to the standard approach, consistent with my general distaste for ...

Noticed the other day that the 60 cycle hum is so sensitive with my fluorescent bulbs. Moving about in different areas is a considerable difference. For sure I will go with LED. Fortunately, I only ne...

Gonna replace mine ? thanks guys

Posted by: @frocesterbill you can help by having white (or light colours) on the ceiling and walls to bounce light onto where you are working. I’ve got aluminium bubble insulation wrap on my ceilin...

My garage is quite big (26’ x 16’) but there are other claims on the space...... To avoid shadows you need to not have lights behind you but you can help by having white (or light colours) on the ceil...
