A bit of bishing bashing and boshing today, got the bridge sorted, alignment is spont on too which is always a relief. Of course I got the laser out and done the logo. Attachment : VideoCapture_...

@liebe the problem with plunge is you can go to deep and start hitting the wood with the collet. For bits you can go with trend for reasonable but if spending a bit more I've got to say radian, they'r...

@liebe Longer router bits, I do mine with a palm router including floyd rose routs etc. Most routers don't have a huge plunge but you use a bunch of different length bits then just swap them as you go...

Not much time today but I did my usual upper fret access carve using a bowl and dish router bit. Attachment : 20231122_173511.jpg

Ok, couple of things. First, I'm a plonker lol. String height is actually less than 2mm at the 12th which is perfect and also when I did a demo in my vid I wasn't using a bass amp plugin, I was using ...

Got the neck pocket done today, sorted most of the shaping around it and also did the neck heel Attachment : 20231121_161854.jpg Attachment : 20231121_173226.jpg Attachment : 20231...

Headstock sorted and main neck carving done, I'll sort the heel once I've done the neck pocket. Attachment : 20231118_161349.jpg Attachment : SquarePic_20231120_17180973.jpg

@nortski string splay is fine, most 3 aside headstocks have it to varying degrees with zero issues. Straighter string pull is generally more desired if fitting a non locking trem because then you want...

Finished at last, well ish lol. Found a high fret I missed, I often miss just the one. Anyway sorted that, still need to lower the nut a little too. Other thing is the string height is about 3mm at th...

@nortski Use the @ symbol or hit reply on their post Problems with the form could be somehting like an adblocker, if using one try switching it off. Failing that try another browser if possible.

I always seem to get through using the contact us form on the shop, I think it's Carol that usually replies.

@liebe I was concerned about slot depth, slots being clean, getting to much glue on and it choking the slots etc etc lol Might try the acetone next time. Supposed to work well and of course it doesn't...

@liebe For sure, without it you can use a regular fret saw lol What glue did you use? I found out the hard way that wood glue doesn't work with plastic binding lol. Superglue was fine though and did...

Well it's taken a while but the finish is done at least. I'll get it all assembled in the next day or two. Thanks to this forum I found an old post about using osmo poly x which helped great! Att...

Frets are in and side dots done, next up will be sorting the headstock and carving the neck. Attachment : 20231113_182010.jpg Attachment : 20231113_182016.jpg

@liebe I got one of those hosco fret slot cleaning saws, seems to work ok

@wolframmalukker sounds like you need to clear some space, I'd try and just focus on one, get it over the finish line then the next and so on. I find it can get to stressful spreading yourself to thin...

While the finishing of the bass takes ages due to the weather I decided to get on with the tele build. I've roughed out the neck and today was radiusing the board and doing fret markers. Attachme...

Looking good Brian! But my advice, don't rush the finish or it'll take longer lol

Looks good @Boo!
