    The other thing is sand paper. I tried lots of different paper over a few years but found one from Halfords of all places that was great. It didn’t clog, wasn’t too expensive, lasted a long time and came in all the grades I wanted. They stopped selling it recently and the replacement product is inferior. I’ve looked for elsewhere but no joy… the search continues!!!

    The Shinto rasp is a must have I believe. The one I have has a course and fine side and is great the main part of neck shaping. I also have a couple of rasp files like these https://www.rutlands.com/sp+more-carving-japanese-carving-files-japanese-half-round-wood-carving-file-110mm-medium-rutlands®+r1303 Cheers

    Cheers Frank. Interesting - I have seen old science work tops for sale and wondered if they would be any use!! I used the larger piece you gave me, cut it in two and glued in a new block in to make the correct width up. The piece I found was a near perfect match colour wise - so lucky!! Nice wood to work with though pretty heavy. Cheers

    I actually got given this pedal when I bought a bass from a lady a few years back who was moving I presume due to a bereavement. I told her this pedal had a value, but she just wanted the equipment to be used. I promised her if I didn't use the pedal, I would sell it and give the proceeds to a local hospice she mentioned. So here it is. I think this is a decent price looking at what these go for new, so the price is firm. Here's the pictures as promised. The pedal still has the protective film underneath Cheers

    I have a set of bass uke tuners (2 + 2) that I bought but won't use. These are for use with those rubbery stings. They all have large slots that are the right size for 'E' sized strings rather than different sized slots as you would expect. Looking for £12 plus postage. Cheers

    Have you got room to move the bridge back to maintain the scale length if you are moving the neck pocket further into the body? Cheers

    I found some strings for this that work in standard 5 string low B tuning. Great fun!! Still need to make a truss rod cover though!!

    I bet you could hear a difference between that and one with an ebony cover……

    Not a build thread but just noticed that the Rautia pickup shop has now closed. http://www.rautiaguitars.net/

    Bought an amp from Dave. Very easy to deal with and amp is just as described. Marvellous! Thanks again Jez

    I’ll have a look at postage options as there isn’t anyone local!!

    That rings a bell actually - cheers. I've got a couple of pieces of Richlite and Rocklite and I know it isn't them but could remember what it was. it seems to work okay so far and cheers for the tip on finishing it, I hadn't figured that bit out yet. Cheers Jez

    Next task is to shape the neck and radius the fretboard. I've cut the first line to follow the body but that's as far as I've got so far.
  23. Jabba_the_gut
    I've decided that the 'sound hole' in the body needs to be reshaped a little now I can see it with the neck. I've drawn on it in black marker and think that will look better

    Got some more of this little build done. I've been getting the neck built - maple with a scarf joint, with veneer front and back. The fretboard is some ebony substitute, but I can't remember which one!! I seem to remember it being some form of pine that has been compressed and heat treated. I've used maple veneer for the fretlines

    These are decent, compact combos that get good reviews. I’m only selling this as I bought a tiny Markbass combo for acoustic type things (and I promised this time that I’d sell something!!)
