    Thought I might as well dump some pics….. I know I have not been uploading regularly (such is). Made a pickguard template for the PJ, actually also doing a new body and pickguard for my Bogart (basically losing 1200 grams in weight).

    Wow, just got onto this…. specialty kit with a feature set (and price I expect) that is overkill for most, but there are going to be decent numbers of folks (pro and amateur) that will see midi control on the fly never seen before. Glorious!

    Thank you, it is light too, body as is = only 1.6 ….. so probably closer to 1.4kg with routing, arm and body contouring done. Absolutely will end up a very easy sub 4kg instrument, 3.7 hopefully. The Mahogany had “a lot” of mass removed.

    The Ambrosia has a few worm holes that I will either cover with a pickguard or fill.

    Not very disciplined uploading, here is where we are at currently. Although I scalloped the headstock yesterday.

    Some pics, basic/rough neck and body shape, fretboard slotted, trussrod and graphite rod slots done.

    With the Baritone complete, now moving on with this…. Slight change in plan, am going headed, with chrome hardware… just feels like I need this to be more “classic”. I already have the rough body shape, rough neck and routing for trussrod/rods done. Will snap pics and post.

    Cr@p, I forgot I was posting progress…. Ah well, please see completed build.

    Also did some contouring.

    Playing around with the laser yesterday… 1 pass gives you about .5mm dept. Also (because I could) tried cutting out an inlay in maple ….this was just for fun. I will either leave au naturel OR fill with epoxy/ebony dust. Also did a little print on back of neck.

    I bought a laser engraver, goal is to laser engrave the headstock…. Why not

    Building a Baritone, commissioned by a friend. Brief: 28” scale, but keep overall length same as a normal scale guitar, inspired by the Jazzmaster design. Just dropping some pics, as I haven’t been on the forum much. Alder Body 28” Maple neck Wenge fretboard Decent but budget black hardware Double humbuckers

    So this build does not appear to be happening …… I found a hairline fracture running from around the 12th fret to the nut. Increasingly likely this is going to end up being recycled. Shame….. On the upside I am building a Baritone guitar, PJ and have bought a laser engraver.

    Hi, I have to admit I have hardly been on BC for ages. It doesn’t give me the joy it once did. But importantly Iam still building,… Move to new workshop complete, the bass, well that is still as it was …. am doing a fretless 5 currently, after that is done I will revisit the Streamer.

    Shipping would be 15 quid, just dm me if you want to proceed. Am not often on BC nowadays.

    I do still have it btw…

    Cross Border tax legislation would beg to differ…. But regardless, I have seldom bought from a more disorganised, impersonal shop ever. They rarely get any of my money.

    They will not charge NL VAT, you will however receive a customs charge of UK VAT, PLUS HANDLING. I’d recommend going Thomann (and I live in NL).

    Lovely!

    I am currently in process of moving to a new workshop, looking forward to when I can get back to the Streamer. Patience is a virtue right?

    My first bass was an 85 Squier Katana in white. The only bass I could afford in the shop …….. I think it is clear why it was cheap.
  25. HazBeen
    Afraid this is a slow burner, but progress will be posted
