Ahhh - that makes sense - the elongated top horn is very "bass-y"! Interesting to see a design that works for both bass and guitar though. ?

Yes, it's my own design based on the last two basses (which I designed) I made in the Bailey workshop.

I'm quite liking the shape of these @marcel. I'm guessing it's your own design, rather than a copy of an established model?

About 5 years ago I made a guitar with a spalted maple top. I love spalted maple! Another guitar with swamp ash body, wenge fretboard, Seymour Duncan humbuckers and Grover tuners. Attachment : ima...

I'm guessing that it's a server config/performance problem. Either Mark's now getting a lot more traffic on his site/server (I don't know what his hosting arrangements are!) than it was originally si...

I think Marcel has blocked me! Ahhhhh - I didn't realise that could be done here @darrenking - I need to find out how to do it too ?

what depth of body do they need? i am just being lazy, I guess I could check the Axtec site ?

Sorry, 403!

Anyone else getting a 406 ACCESS DENIED message when trying to post replies?

@johnnierox-boo Of course I can! Off the top of my head they are about £4 each

This is where I've got to with the drawing for this one. Next phase of machining planned for this weekend hopefully, although I have got to a take my daughter back down to university on Sunday which r...

@tv1010101 They look pretty long, what depth of body do they need? i am just being lazy, I guess I could check the Axtec site, but if you happen to know off the top of your head........

@markbailey Hi Mark, These are by far the most beautiful little switches that I have ever found and I use them on a lamp base product that I make from time to time (www.woodqube.com). In fact, it was ...
