I handed out the raffle tickets as folks came in, so it was free with small things on the table, set of clamps, strings stuff like that. Then Andy dropped a bass on it one year just to throw me so we had two raffles. The free random stuff one and a paid one for the bass which went into the BC coffers.

If you use the pickguard, which I think is cool, especially if you get the Exploderbird logo lazer etched into it, you'll need IMO a notch around the front pickup so that it fits against the body lump. Looking good so far, even if you haven't gone with either of my paint schemes. I'll have to build them now 🙄 😂

I thought it was going to be headless? 😜

Sorry, I hadn't seen that the pickguard had a white line on it. Carry on 👍

Oooooo, if you're casting Speedblocks aside (sob 😜) you could do it in the Lotus colours, BRG with a yellow centre section. Eye thank yew, design consultancy fees to the usual Swiss bank account. 😉

I used Halfrauds rattle cans on my only sprayed build. It came out OK, but I didn't lacquer it, so it left paint on the guitar stand for a while until it hardened off properly.

I've got a BRG guitar and I think it looks dandy. It's got black hardware with zebra pickups, but I think that you may lose the scratch plate if you make it too dark.

Headless knobs to go with the headless bass? 😜

Fixed it for you Andy 😜

Genius! 😍

Oooooo, speed blocks on the raised center section. It's got to be done, and you know it

@fleabag has.... 😜

Stop watching old TV reruns and trim the headstock

The only time I've cut holes in a guitar was to make an HSH Super Strat with a Floyd Rose. I did it on a milling machine

I've found a roll of wood veneer, probably permanently curved by now and I've no idea what wood it is. I can post but it may not survive the process!

I've responded to a musician wanted advert on Friday on a different forum. I can see the message has been read, but there's not been a response. I'm not worried by that as it's up to them, but having read my message it's a bit (very) poor, it doesn't go into my experience, wishes, what I want from a band etc, a bit like responding to a job advert by just saying send the job description. What are the collective thoughts about sending another, more in depth message to rectify my previous failing? If it was you on the receiving end would you countenance another approach? I probably would if it were me.

I didn't know they were a thing, but now I do, I want one. I've got no use for it, but hey, is RAS a thing?

The internetz helped with the spelling but the grammar is mostly all mine.

Ich werde ab nächsten Monat in Aukrug (24613) leben und Ich suche nach einer Band, um mitzumachen. Ich gerne Shinedown, Papa Roach, Bad Religion, Green Day, Therapy? und soweiter, aber Ich kenne momentan nicht viele Lieder spielen! Kennst jemand ein Band ohne Bassist? ;) Entschuldigen für meine schlectes Deutsch

If you care it's because the scale on rule starts at the end, the measurement starts at the nut for an analogy, a ruler has the scale starting after the end, like a zero fret to continue the theme It's possible, but unlikely, to have a plastic rule or a steel ruler

I'd make the non-cut bit at the top meet the neck at 90 degrees, like an acoustic, but it's not my bass

Casting. I can't believe @Andyjr1515 isn't going that route. Make up a negative form using the body wood and the neck, fill with resin and voila. Once it's cured then neck will fit perfectly, the resin will have taken on the grain from the form and it'll just need painting and fitting the hardware. What could possibly go wrong?

With weird 1:1 panto-graph arrangement to follow the existing neck profile and repeat it in reverse on the body?
