That worked very nicely @johnnierox-boo!

@markbailey Maybe something on the quality of tuners. I bought a cheap set for the bitsocaster that I assembled, the posts rattle about in their housings. The ones supplied in your kit are a world of...

Reminder set. I think you get reminders anyway, if you subscribe? I always get an alert just as the session is starting, from YT, and I've not used the set reminder option before.

@markbailey thanks, i'll try that i'll also message soon about ordering more wood for a 2nd home build - it's a bit addictive !

Try putting just a little more tension on the rod to see if that stops the rattling - a tensioned rod should not rattle - maybe it is just loose?

Hi I’m Richard from Cardiff and I built my first guitar with Mark on the course last June and had a brilliant time! Just finished making my first home build (Telecaster), mainly in the back lane with ...

Really just another excuse for a live get together Q+A session and site news. Hmmmmm That makes me think. These sessions are great - informative, fun, and a tenuous connection back to reality and the...

What a week eh? Going to be short and sweet today folks... Really just another excuse for a live get together Q+A session and site news. I'm sure you all know how to string up your guitar but there is...

Could you guys head over to youtube and click 'set reminder'? - it would be interesting to see if it affect the number of views...

What sort of finish did you apply to that, once you'd superglued it?

@johnnierox-boo Thank you, I never could have dreamt that just doing in my little shed what I enjoy doing could ever inspire someone else.

@darrenking Thank you, I always try to use nice looking wood. A flamed maple top is not something very special, but you hardly ever see them on the 'standard' models like Jazz basses or Stingrays.

Hi Marcel, your guitars really do have beautiful lines and make exceptional use of some spectacular wood. Gorgeous!

Lovely wood.....nope still sounds wrong 🤔

Beautiful pieces of wood always - ALWAYS - look better when they don't have bits of cheap black plastic stuck on them You're right my virtual friend.

And I *definitely* like that, my friend @Marcel. 😉

the other twist is no pickguard. Worked out well (if I may say so myself). Beautiful pieces of wood always - ALWAYS - look better when they don't have bits of cheap black plastic stuck on them ? (J...

Of course Leo Fender is rightly praised for his iconical Precision and Jazz basses. But in my humble opinion the best bass he ever designed was the Music Man Stingray. So I wanted to make one myself. ...

I think it’s time I own a multimeter. I bought one for guitar-assembly use, long before I understood all of its other potential uses. It encouraged me to learn a bit more about electronics!

@tv1010101 I missed that one. Did not wake up in time. Shucks. Just saw the stream. I think it’s time I own a multimeter.
