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 ...

I get a bit of grief from the missus when I encroach in there. @robin you could put the missus in there and use the whole caravan as a workshop! Hahaha......

The "hero" points are something different, and it's those that Mark said can be traded for discounts in his shop. @tv1010101 Yeah the “hero” points used to be displayed but they have recently disappe...

Wow, that is a great price assuming it's accurate which I guess is mostly down to the quality of your CNC. The plywood should be pretty stable but I can put a finish on it.I have a Crimson Guitars fre...

I reckon @johnnierox-boo has hacked the system and found a secret store of points that always keeps him a few hundred ahead of everyone else ... @tv1010101 You didn’t think I was gonna make it easy f...

I am not sure what would happen if we all cashed our points in at Mark's shop! Has anyone ever done this? What are they worth? I didn't even realise this was a 'thing' until Mark mentioned it in a liv...

I think that some people (mentioning no names!) are going through every single post that there has ever been and 'liking' them! It's a point or two each time I believe! I am not sure what would happen...

My patterns and jigs live on high shelves - 7’ from the ground - don’t need them very often.....

All those jigs take up a lot of room though! @tv1010101 Yep, we have to get inventive with storage.

All those jigs take up a lot of room though! My rainy days working space is getting smaller and smaller.
