Nothing feels loose but I’m wondering if I blew it or should I just carry on? @usadave It’s fine Dave, carry on, seat them as best you can and so long as they are not loose, they will be fine. It’s ...

I say keep going too Dave - as long as you can't hook a finger nail underneath the frets or see the gap (without tools borrowed from NASA) then "job's a good un" 🙂 That neck looks great.

Cheers! Much appreciated confidence booster! Thanks again! -D

@usadave Dont be too hard on yourself. You're probably making a comparison with factory guitars which are mostly made on CNC machines these days and a hand built guitar is never going to achieve that ...

Lol I am a total amateur but thanks man! I had some light weight paper laying around so I put my dial caliper on it so truth be told it’s a little bit of a guess. Could be .003? I’ll carry on and do ...

@usadave You’ve got frets that are sitting .002”above the fretboard? Get out of here you bloody amateur!!! Haha, just kidding! Don’t sweat it man, you haven’t blown it. How do you even measure .002” a...

hi Everyone! So putting frets in even following the advice of Mark’s excellent tutorials is quite stressful! Attachment : B34BE705-8221-423C-BE86-BDB5B0979AC9.jpeg Attachment : 4527C941-42...

Will do TV. I have just sent the drawing of the shaft over to my favourite engineering company in Sandy so I'll see what cost they come back with. I'm going to use a 750w (1HP) servo motor, designed f...

@boo Do you have any experience of spraying paint that changes colour as it moves around the light eg green to bronze. I think it's called transitional paint.

I had an 2.6 Audi A4 estate that was that shade of green! Paradise Green it was called. Bloody loved that car!

Is the world still out there??? Thank goodness for the live streams at least there's still life in the Bailey world

I'm guessing it's linked to the SA variant being in the area, and a fairly rapid re-assessment of the local risk factors. Bloody impressive if that's what it is - ie if the logistics are that rapidly...

Not very gentlemanly ... hope she doesn't see this thread ... @tv101 I never said I was a gentleman. 😝

I better start checking things twice If only someone had mentioned this concept to you before, this might never have happened!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Update modification. Recessed the Mudbucker and changed the bridge pickup to Wilkinson humbucker and changed tuning pegs to Wolkinson gears. Solid! Loving this bass. Shipping it off to my happy and ex...

@clinton I would love to use some Koa, it’s beautiful

looks great

Not really, Koa is relatively light but hard. It is a 2 inch body.

@clinton Wow, it looks awesome! I’m wondering if there’s any neck dive especially since it’s semi-hollow? The body looks nice and chunky, how thick did you make it?

@tv1 Thanks. Must admit, this bass build is pretty solid, sounds amazng. Changing the neck pickup however to a Wilkinson humbucker, waiting for the part to arrive. The poles for this epiphone humbucke...
