And do they need to have any means of adjusting the height and angle of the pick up? @darrenking the ones I’ve used I put hard(ish) foam something like an old mouse mat doubling up if necessary so yo...

I'm not persuaded that there are any sound benefits from doing it Some say pickups mounted to pickguards or rings have a brighter sound than those screwed direct to the body (which tend to have a war...

@johnnierox-boo Over the years I've learned that most happy accidents can be repaired, so I'm no longer afraid to make mistakes nor am I very frustrated anymore when I make them. I now consider it a c...

You are inspiring me. Wow, that's the best compliment I can get. I'm planning on building another 12-string in the near future. I love the sound of a 12-string and as I gave this one away I'd love t...

@marcel Some stunning wood there...sorry guys that just sounds wrong!

Come to think of it, didn't we do drummers not long ago?! Yes we did ? .... ?

Also, how to build your own - perfectly suitable but nothing fancy-pants - bench for building guitars and general “working”? Quick comment on that one @rashdown_online ... my set-up bench is an old o...

How to achieve a “space” for the least amount of essential Tools (both hand and power) including a bench (and what bench to get/build). Unfortunately, people like me don’t have a garage not a proper s...

@johnnierox-boo I don't know if I'm the best bass maker here, I just try to do my best and I enjoy it. And I'm very happy to have inspired you in your guitar making. I'll post a few more of my bass bu...

That's OK - you're among friends here, you can admit things like that It's the story of my life. The boy who is the least talented in the football team is made the goalkeeper. That was me. The one wh...

Some of the multicoloured ones look pretty awesome actually! I like the “grain” pattern that shows on some of the “example machined” images @darrenking. Knowing nothing about Richlite, I’m guessing t...

I hope to have some of this stuff on my new website but in the meantime you can get it from a company called Surface Matter in London. Some of the multicoloured ones look pretty awesome actually! Link...

Being a bass player That's OK - you're among friends here, you can admit things like that ? (actually, I've got a bass somewhere too!)

Being a bass player I've made several basses at home. This one is one with a swamp ash body, redwood top, maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. Attachment : image.png It has Seymour Duncan STKJ2...

I think thats a very clever fingerboard.
