@darrenking thanks, that’s what i was hoping to hear, I will proceed forward then. the worse case scenario is the neck does break, so this will be a bolt on lol

Hi Seth, I can see a little bit of a grain wobble to left hand side of the photo but there is nothing shown that makes me think that you’ve go a duff piece of wood. Maple is already extremely strong i...

Im going through the courses while making my first build, Mark had mentioned side grain runout causes a week point in the neck, which sucks because the piece of maple i though was great is now causing...

Have you got a jigsaw? @johnnierox-boo I do have a jigsaw but iv'e bought the wrong type of blades (I hadn't realised there were different types of shank). So Iv'e only got one blade, and I think i...

By the time I wake up tomorrow I'll have thought of some way to do it. @robin Have you got a jigsaw? Use a jigsaw for the most of it and finish it off with your router. At a push, you could do it all...

When I came back, Dad had disappeared, but Mum & Baby had arrived. So I took some quick shots! @tv1010101 Fantastic! The best bit of wildlife we’ve had in our garden in a sparrow hawk, it took a...

There's no shortage of wildlife here. @robin It sounds quite idyllic where you are with all the wildlife, I’m quite envious.

Can't match that ... but we've got some of these guys living in the garden ... @tv1010101 Great photos, great that they are in your own garden.

It's Wednesday @tv1010101 I remembered today and was confused for a short time as to why there wasn’t a live stream (it was 1.45pm when I remembered I have to admit) and then I remembered what Mark h...

looser feel for the player and easier to bend @deej I thought it might be something to do with that, it’s string tension.

Apparently it gives a looser feel for the player and easier to bend. It will effect tone though.

What's the benefit of having a short-scale bass? @tv1010101 I don’t really know but I had a thought. Could it be to do with alternative tunings? If the string is longer, it has to be under more tensi...

Yes - missing it already..... Fact is we are away in Pembrokeshire in our motorhome for a few days and the iterate is not good but I still got a twinge at 12:45ish....

Two years ago i was asked by someone I knew from a bass player's internet forum to make a neck for a 5 string short scale (30") bass. I don't know how he got the idea for that but I agreed to make it ...

Ok, The saw price has now been confirmed. It is a UK (Sheffield) made saw, 16 TPI, pull cut with a brass back and rosewood (coloured I suspect) handle. The price will be £30inc VAT which, considering ...

That's my truss rod slit routing jig tried and tested, no more wiggley slots now. Attachment : 20200923_122420.mp4

The CNC router is pretty accurate! The hole positions are specified to three decimal places of 1mm so it should be good enough for rock'n'roll! The only thing that you really need to check is that the...

I'm not ready to build anything yet, so I can wait till I see the review before pulling the trigger, but very interested. @jonhodgson This will be a great investment and a few of us will be buying th...

How big should your workshop be? Just a little bigger @tv1010101 I'm a bit limited to what I can have on the caravan site, iv'e got two 8'x6' huts, one has a washing machine and clean stuff and ...
