@clinton And that's what it's all about. That smile, the OMGs, that makes it all worthwhile. Nice work sir.

Update modification. Recessed the Mudbucker and changed the bridge pickup to Wilkinson humbucker and changed tuning pegs to Wolkinson gears. Solid! Loving this bass. Shipping it off to my happy and ex...

I have used a shim to adjust the neck angle a couple of times. I just put in a small strip of veneer in the back of the neck pocket. It's a matter of trying what the thickness of the veneer must be to...

My favourite song today:

When there is a will, there is a way! So happy for you @Russ. Ample space, top job on the workbenches. In due time you will make it truly your own and building your art. Just make sure to make time al...

Stuck in the house after tripping over a pot hole and injuring my hand and found this . Decided it’s my next song to learn now that live music has started again.

@tej People don’t say that to me very often

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Ive made a very rough sketch of how I would estimate the finished taper in wood. @rocknroller912 Thanks for that, makes perfect sense 🙂

@tej 40mm is fine it’s actually easier with a small plane

@rocknroller912 I’ll give that a go and see how I get on. I’ll likely need a cabinet scraper to finish it as I don’t have anything to do that with and my plane is only about 40mm wide.

@tej Ive made a very rough sketch of how I would estimate the finished taper in wood. Hope you can understand it. Lay a ruler as shown from the tape to the front of heel and put your wood shim along s...

@tej Ive made lots of shims by hand, it’s not that hard. Start with a piece that’s longer and thicker than you need and clamp it to the bench. Then plane or scrape it working away from the clamp to cr...

@rocknroller912 I think what I’ll do is like you said, use some masking tape to get an idea of the angle I need.Not sure of the best approach to making the shims, the table saw would give accurate res...

Posted by: @robin I hadn't thought about the screw holes being out of alignment, we so lucky to have helpful people in this group. @robin I’d have considered that, admittedly just after I’d put the ...

@tej Even with the fretboard overhang and pick guard covering thing I would still try and fill any gaps in the joint, or the string tension will be pulling on the screws only which will probably cause...

@tej I was going to suggest removing some wood from the back of the heel to get the angle that you want, but I see you've considered that already. It would drop the neck deeper into the pocket though...
