but obs, the 5th string that only goes halfway down the neck, is less of an issue and should be connected to the snare linkage and kazoo dampener circuit via the cymbal NAND gate. (Basic stuff TV, I’m...

Any advice gratefully received. The only advice I'd give is to make sure you keep the updates coming here! It's an interesting concept. Some creative fret-levelling perhaps, where they fall away sli...

I’m not sure that I’d opt for any of your 3 options. Winding pickups is a whole other ballgame. If you’re going to wind your own, then you’ll probably end up throwing a few early experiments away unt...

Don't worry too much about shielding - it is not 'make or break' for a guitar. If noise is a problem there are other things you can do Turn off interence devices Change the room for a quiter one Nois...

I like eating teacakes! Where do I fit in? Depending on how many you’ve eaten @darrenking, you might not fit in anywhere anymore ... 😆

Never heard of them @russ. Enjoyed the listen, but no idea what it’s about!!

I hope I will be able to compensate materials used in these guitars, profit is out of scope at this moment Mark often suggests that approach ... you can probably get to a stage where you can sell the...

but I worry that I won't be able to do this when it comes to building a different design of guitar because I won't have direct instructions to follow @Russ ... worry ye not. Quite seriously, before m...

At that point I was thinking about good wall decoration, not an instrument but I wanted to finish the build to know the process better. Most of us have been at that point, and then worked a way throu...

The last song I've played live and in front of an audience ... (this version isn't me, btw 😆 )

My favourite song today, when R&B stood for Rhythm & Blues and not some hip-hop variation. Love Elwood's dance moves! Great choice @Marcel - love those movies and soundtracks.

You’ll be pleased to know that mine is not worth anything because I put a belly carve on it and sprayed it cream. You can't play pound notes - even less so pound coins 😉 A few years ago there was ...

I was contemplating a tele Teles are often said to be the easiest place to start. But that’s wrong. The easiest place to start is with one of Mark’s courses!

Right, so that at least 6 bassists name-checked now. Surely that’s all the decent ones done?? 😊

But back on topic ...

Mk1 here @Russ. 1300E no less ... vinyl roof (wow), quarter bumpers, front fogs ... proper collectible now!

Welcome @likeakite ... you never have *enough* time for guitar making though .... 🙄

..... I see all the different Purple lineups as different bands........for me MkII are the only Real Purple. I’m with you on that @russ ... it’s like saying a Ford Escort mk1 is the same as a mk2 is ...

@russ I want one! Where did you see this? @darrenking here?

Hellooo back. Always good to have a new guy turn up here and say “hi”. Or “hellooo” in this instance. Lots of clever people here, if you get stuck on anything, post a question and someone will be alo...
