Still looks fantastic.

I like the idea of the router jig. As with regards to placement, i have no idea, as the design is still under construction

Well, the only real reason it needed planing last time was because of 2 different thicknesses of woods, however, if i use the same wood, then it may just need routing....

There was a guy building a clear tele on here. Its a good read and may have some info fo you [url="http://www.tdpri.com/forum/2011-tdpri-tele-build-challenge/263778-scatter-lees-2011-tdpri-build-challenge-thread.html"]http://www.tdpri.com/forum/2011-tdpri-tele-build-challenge/263778-scatter-lees-2011-tdpri-build-challenge-thread.html[/url]

Im planning on building about 3 bass bodies, however, the wood im going to use is a bit thick, so ideally it would need to be planed, and our planer is bollox'd. Also, im rubbish at routing out the pickup cavities, as well as the control cavity. So is there anyone here who is good at this stuff that i could maybe send the bodies too for this treatment, and some coinage?

What kind of setup you looking for? mainly neck kinda thing, ie straightening it out, or intonation and all that jazz?

im not really after an exact size, just something to give me some sort of guide. Does anyone have a width and length of the body i could use, doesnt have to be exact.

i think it may be distorted, ive got a printout atm, and it looks a bit too narrow....

[/quote] because i dont believe people are that mean I hope it isnt. Can someone check the measurements ive got from it if they are close, thats good enough 44cm x 26cm

It was about the bridge being the same. However, i did not think of using fret spacing. That may be the ticket. Thanks

is the bridge the same?

Ive got 2 pickups which will go with a 500/1 type body. I have this picture which i can scale, but i need a measurement to use. So does anyone have a measurement i can use. Width of the pickups, 21st fret etc.. Id be grateful. Here is the picture im using.

im a fan of this one. Although not much different, its a nice look

Or your amp is too quiet to hear the difference below 7? But probably the linear thing.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1320186573' post='1423645'] Is it a bolt on neck? I'm always trying to find chunky necks, usually they come on cheap basses, wondering if a higher end one will be nicer. [/quote] It is a bolt on neck, its this one in fact: Its like half a baseball bat. Its not bad, but a bit thick for my liking, however, it has the 21 fret dealio, which i prefer. Heck, if anyone wants to trade for a thinner neck, im open to it.

My neck feels too thick, so im wondering are there consequences from thinning a neck with a rasp then using sandpaper to finish it. structurally is mainly what im concerned about. I dont think there is, but maybe there is something im not thinking about. Help appreciated

Im looking for a bass tablature of this song, as my mate said he would learn the guitar if i learnt the bass. Does anyone happen to know the notes, have them written, or could skype lesson me? Tom

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1319796066' post='1418622'] Learned this the hard way (twice) that whistling sound as the router bit flies past your ear is truly terrifying, particularly the 2nd time... [/quote] Same. I also had the problem of the route bit drilling into the wood, so it was being pulled out of the router. Its a crappy router.

Thats the one, but how did it wear away right next to the fret where the string barely touches, its like the opposite of what would normally happen, hence the asking.
