  1. Why don't you bring the thing back in with you to save all this scurrying around to the shed and back?
  2. Excuse my inability to draw...
  3. Perpendicular to the strings, or along the same axis?
  4. It's very shiny, have you polished the ebony? Is there space for the swifts...
  5. Nice work, well done on taking the plunge. Nice looking jumper as well 🙂
  6. Geez, will you change your profile picture already, I keep thinking Andy's posted an update
  7. Ooo, I want to be one of those. Probably not this thread though.
  8. I bought an unused Peavey Millennium 5er neck from Leroybass. Perfect transaction from beginning to end. Trade with impunity!
  9. I'm glad I'm not going mad, but equally sorry for you too 🙂
  10. Is the bridge pickup surround slightly skewed, or is it just a photo issue? Or my eyes!
  11. Will it be any good for metal?

    Glue joints

    Yes, the same as a normal two plank body, only rotated through 90 degrees. I'm actually thinking of a multi laminate blank at 45°, 90 was a worst case scenario! I'm also, now, thinking of a battenburg effect, like one of those alternating block chopping boards that are all over YouTube... I need sleep...
  13. Evening all. Has anyone ever built a bass body out of sections with the glue joints perpendicular to the strings? I have a vision of the whole thing folding itself in half and the section with the bridge on smacking me in the face. Thoughts?
  14. And that's the important bit right there.

    Magic Trick

  16. Jar, spoon. Spoon, jar... Google photos tells me it was two years ago that @Andyjr1515 glued his fingers together. I believe that those are @SpondonBassed's knees trying to escape from the wings stage left.
  17. So the saddles at the extremes with the foremost on the scale length is to allow for any minor wobbles in the measuring/build process?
  18. I'm going to do the Er... thing again. If the top E saddle is all the way forward and at the scale length then won't there be no adjustment forward? Or is intonation always longer than the scale? That idea then doesn't work with the bottom E being all the way back. Or is it the average and the two extremes straddle the scale length to allow for adjustment? On your common or garden Fender BBOT, where would you place that? Stunning guitar and workmanship again. You couldn't get it "lost" in the post could you? 😜
  19. I thought so, here's mine. Feel free to find the sparkling it up thread, it's about six years old or something by now though Found it, six years? Ha, and the rest. Posted in 2012. 😳🙄
  20. Excellent diary El Generalissimo Teebles. Which model Aria Pro II ist that? I think I've got one in blue.
  21. Doesn't really work does it, as we're all at home and Jez builds his basses at home anyway. "Ho hum", said Pooh Or if you read it in the original Latin, '"hous humus", dixi Pooh'
  22. Just go mad. Go big or go home 😉
