Thanks for your reply. It is the strength that is my concern. My initial headstock design gives me 13mm of wood between a 17mm diameter hole and the headstock edge, without any overhang of tuner or washer, and plenty of knob turning room.

Hi, I'm hoping some of the more experienced builders here can give me some advice. What is the recommended or minimum distance from the machine head hole edge to the edge of the headstock? TIA Verb

Thank you. I see what you mean, the headstock is also a bit like the Warwick/Status Buzzard , but in a more restrained way.

I came across this photo, and was wondering if the headstock belonged to a production bass?

I did have one of James Hetfield's but it's long gone, and I did catch one of Alice in Chains bassist Mike Inez' picks but gave it to the youngster I was with as they collected stuff like that. Not a plectrum, but at a Soundgarden gig Ben Shephard took off his bass during the last song and gave it to a member of the audience.

I'm not very far into it yet, it will take me a while. Yes the fills and the fluidity are the sticky points.

I'm having a go at Fool for your Loving using Neil Murray's transcription. I may be a while.

I think an email to Warwick is needed

Could they be from a Triumph upright?

You beat me to it.

EMG show the rails as being 2.9 inches long with a maximum recommended string width of 2.5 inches.

Super, thanks. I will try again.

Was that recently and about the course?

Thanks, I will try ringing him.

Has anyone been in contact with Jon regarding the course recently? I emailed him just over a week ago and haven't had a reply yet.

I mentioned this to my wife as an idea for my 50th this year, and she said she had thought of trying to find something like this for a present, so let's hope covid restrictions ease enough.

My concern is it may be the start of a split. I could be wrong and if it stays as it is I'm not worried, I just wanted Thomann to be aware of it early on.

If it was just a pot or tuner than £20 would be fine, but as it could be the neck £20 isn't going to cover it.

I received a Harley Benton PB-50 for Christmas, and I'm really enjoying it. I have noticed what may be a small fault in the wood on the edge of the fretboard, so I emailed photos and my concerns to Thomann. Thomann responded that they were confident that it was not a problem, but they offered me a £20 goodwill discount. I asked if my warranty would be affected if I accepted the discount, just incase the fault got worse. Thomann confirmed that if I accepted the discount the warranty for the possible fault would be void. I have declined the discount in favour of keeping my full warranty. This post isn't to have a go at Thomann or Harley Benton products, its just a heads up that if you accept a discount you may be losing part of your warranty.

Thank you Neil, I'm looking forward to giving these a bash.

This is getting recycled tomorrow so message tonight if you want it.

Give it away by RHCP. I think it would be good to explain why certain notes are used, eg root, octave, 5th etc. I wish that had been explained to me when I started playing.
