Posted by: @boo G&W are selling shims now too. @boo thanks, I’ll have a go at making some first but at least those are a sensibly priced option

But these shims are flat, so they don't change the neck angle. So if you want to change the neck angle you have to sand a taper on the shim before using it.

Did some doodling on the bridge assembly. The plan is to make a few from aluminum to get the size and shape correct, and get the saddles to adjust properly. Then, I'll machine them from something hard...

@wolframmalukker Go go go! ( I love explorers!, At some point in the future I must build a companion for my 58 Flying V built 😉 )

@boo Love the video. You can always rely on a Aussie to tell it like it is. Interesting point you made about paint being too wet and causing problems. Could this happened with a spray can if it’s not ...

Those bits look familiar! Hoping I’ll get to use mine too before too many more months.

Where'd @steveadams go to?? Loved watching these mini-vids, good to see another learner-builder putting something together with all the little challenges that us learner-builders stumble into ... an...

Posted by: @boo Hello stranger, how are you doing T? Hi @boo - just been busy with "life" 'n' stuff, so done no building for a few months. I had some grand plans involving some Bagpress bits, but t...

Hey Darren! I’ve only got the one bass - maple neck, swamp ash body. Bassists often seem to be more creative with their designs and woods (presumably to make up for their less creative playing &#x...

Congrats @tej Its addictive. You build one, build another, build another and before you know it, you’ve built 20. And still want to build another. 👍
