Intelligent people, I need assistance (help as well possibly). The neck pocket on my body is about 5mm too small, and the pickup routs about 10m too narrow, the whole plan was to widen the body to fit the neck heel with a skunk stripe, but how do I make one that widens to body by 10mm up to the neck and then just by 5mm? I could extend the pickup cavities after the stripe goes in, but they're nice and neat now. They won't be if I make them bigger.

MM down by the bridge, or a reverse P?

Could you rescue it with a bridge and tailpiece like a Warwick and either fill the string through holes or leave them as a feature? Pop some LEDs in them 😉

How do they work? The knurled thing is for tuning or the blob on top?

I have a rig, it's my normal method of being LOUD 😉 My board output goes into the instrument in on my amp. I've never played with the FX loop on it, all my stuff is floor boxes so aren't they the wrong level to go into the FX input? How does the loop work anyway, do I put the the send in one end of the board and the return to the other or will that result in letting the magic smoke out somewhere?

No tuning keys? That's innovative. 🍿

The upside downer is shocking, but the other one is OK.

It's a Behringer Eurodesk MX2442a if that's any help at all.

It doesn't look *that* bad. At least it's not a Thunderbird.

Oh yes, when you turned the knob it definitely got louder, very quickly. I'll see if I can find the model before next Thursday.

All my effects have an amount of dirt in them as we're a three piece and I wanted a bit of a fatter sound. I've tried very hard to get the volume equal across the effects though so there's no huge spike, they just sound different. What's unity gain?

It's an older Behringer, which one I can't say until next week when I'm back in the room. The trim pot is the knob under the XLR/ jack? That was the one where even if it was right down you could still hear the signal. We tried a different channel in case it was faulty, but didn't swap the lead out. I can (mostly) play the right notes in the right order at the right time, and understand my own rig. The mixing is a bit black magic to me.

Silly thing to say on BC! You're right of course.

My signal chain is tuner - zoom b3n - nova dynamics. It went in via normal instrument lead to one of the xlr/6.5 channels, a normal one, not the doubled up ones. AFAIK there is no button on the input section.

A bit of a punt whether this is the correct forum section. We played about with going direct to the mixer last night, and my signal is far too high, you can only mute me with the mute button on the channel, the guitar can be turned down with the knobs on the channel. Would a DI box be any help in taming that signal, and if so, which one? I'm not spending an awful lot on it, definitely less than 100€.

Jaysus marrying Joseph, can you not stop building something for just ten minutes?

Clearly of limited interest or accessibility, I can't imagine any of you will be in the middle of Schleswig-Holstein at the beginning of September. We're playing the BaDaBoom Festival on 04.09 from 1300 to 1400 on Gänsemarkt in front of the Holsten Galerie in Neumünster should anyone be around and want to heckle.

I think your designs and workmanship are top class. I love the barrel bridges.

The way to make a small fortune custom building and designing basses is to start with a large fortune.

Lego 😉

I'd have been more impressed if they'd actually made it out of Lego rather than encasing a bunch of bricks in resin. <pedant> Lego is an irregular plural, even Lego themselves say so 😉 <\pedant>

That's real purty. I think a dark scratchplate would suit, not necessarily black though that's an easy starting point. Get some different colour paper cut outs and see what works.

I mean, it's not a very good logo, so maybe the neck pocket is the best place for it, but even so....

Why have you hidden the logo in the neck pocket?
