I will not say anything about Bassists because @Marcel is bigger than me. And he has more friends.

I started on Mark's Build your own Acoustic course in May 2018. Loved every minute of it and can highly recommend him as a teacher of Luthiery. completed the acoustic and Electric courses over the nex...

@nsj @koendb I'm thinking the same way as you both. I've tried giving the switch a good wiggle with no effect. I'm guessing there's a hot wire on the bridge pickup circuit earthing somewhere, i think...

@koendb Nice choices. I keep meaning to make a bass, it’s on my list.

@robin sounds like the switch is dirty, before pulling apart try some violent switching or switch cleaner then some violent switching. Bad switch is the only thing that makes sense otherwise the neck ...

And in this heat too - ouch, that's going to be "uncomfortable". Congrats on the second practice run at getting it all into place ... third time lucky? 😉

Good news, found my hardware, turned out that it was in the bottom of a box that I hadn't looked looked in because "I wouldn't have put it in there" Attachment : 20230910_154527.jpg Thats the ...

As the title implies ... has anyone put some sort of pickup (an associated electronics) into an acoustic build? If so, what did you use, how did you find the result? I'm not committing, but I am *...

It's looking great @koendb....... I'm a wee bit jealous. 😁 🙂🎶🎸🙏

Make sure you get the hairdresser done before the childbirth. You don’t want to be having a bad hair day on all the grandad-holding-the-baby photos. 😉

Another delay in fitting the hardware, can't find it. Searched the shed, house, garage and car last night, its not at home. Its got to be in the caravan somewhere, thats me back in limbo again.

Where would be the fun, the challenge, the satisfaction if we knew a build was going to be faultless? It'd be like doing a crossword puzzle when you've got all the answers in place of the clues.

@swepri "Smooth, faultless build". That must surely be utopic... 😉 I'm not convinced that its even possible.

@robin "Smooth, faultless build". That must surely be utopic... 😉

@tv101 Congrats on that Robin. Now you'll have to do an emergency dash back home to collect all the bits to be able to put it together. I sometimes wonder if the builds-that-go-wrong-but-are-rescue...
