Then you could bind the inside of the pickup cavities... 

Fortunately you haven't got a neck pocket...

Wot they sed.  It's your bass though, so do it how you want it

A couple of straight edges of varying lengths. 

Set of chisels.

Bench plane.

All the gubbins for fretting.

Saw rasp or the like.

I didn't realise Maserati made radius blocks.

Black.

Or...

Steve Harris mirror?

It's not quite the right blue, but...

I like it.

I think it should be on guitarchat just to get the site traffic and content up, but I still like it.

Carve it out from the back like the Psilios bass...

Shouldn't a Gheetar build be on Gheetarchat?

Reverse multi scale Flying V 5er with P, J, MM and Thunderbird pickups. V, T and micro switches to control the pickups.

To be honest, I think that would actually be horrible, more nightmare than dream.

That is a beautiful lump of wood. How easy is it to work with?

I imagine they would. It may mess up the dryness of your body wings though.

Aww, you've made a pair of Nessies

I do have more space than just a bench you know. Obvs I put the tools somewhere else until they had a home to go to.

Still the Once and Future Twerp.

I'm confused

Let me see if I've got this right:

So you bought tools so that you could make a storage thingy for the tools that you'd just bought?

Crazy German!

 

No....

I bought tools to use but had to use them to make the storage thingy for the tools I'd bought because there's so much other clutter on the bench that the tools took up the rest of the available working space.

Ich bin kein deutscher.

Oak is notorious for making steel tools rust.

It's varnished, does that help?

How does it work?

I had a bit of white wood for the heels of the planes to sit in, until I realised it was too small and used the oak. When working it, it smelt of machine oil, or at least, engineering machine shops if that makes any sense. Does anyone have any ideas what it might be? It was lovely to work, and smell

Fyi I use the term "presence" to mirror the usage by a number of amp and pedal manufacturers i.e. a boost to the high mids and treble, so the Presence patch in the OP library is doing exactly that.

For what you're after, I think you're looking for something a bit more "Royal Blood". Which Zoom model do you have? If you have a B1-4, you could try the Atreides patch from the patch library.

If you have a different model, you can put one together using the following individual effects: [Start of chain] Comp --> Ocatve down --> RAT (Squeak) --> Stereo chorus --> Zoom noise reduction (ZNR) [End of chain].

It's a B3n. Looking at the questions I may be after rocking horse poop! Phat, presence, heft whatever Just something to fill out a trio. If a smidge of warble from the octaver or a smidge of dirt is enough but subtle then I'll try that.

Do any of you fine fellows have a suggestion of what to add to a patch to get more presence to a tone? A bit more plump of heft just to fill out a three piece, especially when the guitar goes off on a solo and we lose the chords? It was in here, or maybe in the forum linked where there was the suggestion of an octaves, but that adds a growl to my clean sound that I don't want.

Dun stuff.

murder some nasty chords for a short time, then wander off again to continue hammering the bass.... Wasn't really Jazz tho

Sounds exactly like jazz.

You weren't soft enough, the monkey escaped

I don't think the "lutherie" thing is my game really..I'm happier welding bits of metal tbh ! 

Make one out of metal then...

It'll only be good for jazz mind, and you'll need a stand to play it on.

I've just been to their website to have a look, they aren't reasonably cheap, they are cheap! €116 for a strat with all the hardware and scratchpad is a steal. Fair enough for ignoring the slight flaws.

I was expecting a kit to be somewhere in the £300 range. Or I've been looking at Warmouth custom options too often
