I had an old Hamer thing with a wierd sliding pickup that slid back and forth and the neck was so bent that it went out of tune everytime you fretted a note. Swapped it for a camera.

Go for it, you only live once.

I hope he really goes for it with this project. Song is ok.

Is this the same bass?

nearly had it but saw sense in the end. Can't even play the two I've got.

Hello

Hi Sorry, missed your reply. I'm just plugged into a Roland Cube 100. Nothing inbetween. Cheers

Sorry for digging up an old thread but I thought it better than starting a new one. Does anyone have a problem with the volume controls on their Aerodyne Jazz? It's not a massive issue; but mine seems to increase in volume as the knob is turned until it gets to about four fifths of the way round then it sort of muffles and gets quieter. I have read about this issue before but no amount of searching is bringing anything up now. Any ideas?

I just did an image search for "gus bass" Yuk, they look like a bass guitar and a black pudding got put into a teleporter together.

Do people actually buy Danelectro instruments? I really can't believe that anyone would like them. Maybe use one as part of a costume in a pantomime or something but to actually want to own one... WTF?

This is worth reading: http://woodtools.nov.ru/mag/other/Trend/getstart.pdf

6.3 and 8mm with be the shank size meaning you will just have to go easy and take smaller bites or you will end causing the bit to chatter and give a poor cut. Thinner = flexy. Just remember to look at the speed/feed rating on the bits and stick to it as this will help it last longer and give a better finish. Just be wary of climb-cutting and end grain, that's where all the brown trouser moments happen.

You can get away with a cheap router if you don't work it too hard. As long as there's no slop or run-out on the spindle it should be ok. The depth adjustment can be hit or miss on the lower end routers so double-double check before any important cuts are made. Good cutters are very important, don't scrimp on these. I use and would recommend Wealden and Titman tooling (both are good British makers). I've never built a guitar but I'd imagine one or two 'up cut' or 'down cut' bearing guided straight's would cover most things. You might want one with end cut for doing pickup cavities and neck pockets Is it a half inch collet?

Think you might have been sent an shop demo. Did you get the cloth and Allen key with it?

Would be ok as a template.

Faith no more.

Will do. I've started messing with some ideas in Corel (I have a plotter so can do full size working drawings). Might have to wait for the temperature to rise in the old shed though.

Motorhead.

Very nice work. I love the shape, where did you get the inspiration from? I'm soon going to make a body for an old bass I have lying around and you have inspired me to try something a bit different... Where did you get the pots from? I will have to re-wire too. keep at it, you have some skills there.

Too far. Shame I would be perfect for this.

You can buy stuff called 'threadlock' or put a bit of nail varnish on the threads.

Got to agree with the above post. Hate the places.

Don't like 'em. The website says 'in stock' and it isn't really and won't be for weeks. Time wasters.
