I've seen 3D printed concrete structures. Basically a CNC concrete pump nozzle, but the principle is sort of the same. Maybe.

Concrete mesh 🤣

Jeans pocket rivets FTW 😁

Natural 20, booyah!

Do you need suds with aluminium? I wouldn't have bothered, but then, I haven't built submarines for BAE Systems.

Laser alignment? You show off. Here's mine, I think they'd invented lasers by then, but they would have been as big as a house.

I've heard worse ideas 🤣 How does the template work? Presumably there's some sort of scale reduction because that looks a very big dish, more like one of those medieval spoon shaped instruments than a carved top.

Presumably because you are no longer prepared to scream and scream until you are sick?

Are you going to accommodate him and get in touch to explain what you were thinking/taking when you wrote it?

Hang fire on giving Jeff Bozo more money and see what's in the locality on ebay. You may be able to pick up an old pillar drill which if you get it right will be more substantial and better quality than a new bbot ones online.

That, I think, were I. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/187809-19-pedal-board-build/

It's working again

Not for me, soz Ped.

My app, on Android, has gone full screen, which is a thundering nuisance as the back, home and app buttons disappear when I'm using the app.

Where did you get the CF sheet from?

OSB flooring returns 😉, have you tried to make a bass out of it yet? Make it a weird shape, like an explorer, or a faceted version of something curvy? What's a butterknife style machine head?

Details, schmetails...

You could have flipped the bezel so the sharp bit was on the opposite corner to your thumb. Jus sayin' 🤪

I mean, if you recessed the screw heads properly and wanted it to look properly left field rat-rod style you could always put the screws in from the front. There's enough clearance between the frets at the dusty end of a bass neck... As long as it's secure it's just a visual thing at the end of the day...

It depends on how you intend to fix the neck. If you're using a standard Fender pattern neck plate and woodscrews I would line up the plate so it's visually pleasing on the body, with an equal gap between it and the edge. Then mark the centres of those holes and drill a clearance hole for the screw. IMO you don't want to have the screw biting into the body, That way the threads pull the neck tight into the pocket. My opinion only, it may not be accurate. Then fit the neck, mark the screw holes and drill a tapping hole for the chosen screw. If you're not using a neck plate, or using machine screws and inserts then I don't see it matters where you put them, as long as you don't hit the truss rod or come through the fingerboard 😁

Rather than shave the neck heel down, I'd open the pocket out a smidge, but that's just how I would do it.

The South West bash has lunch? That's luxury that is. We had to deal with basses at the Midlands Cake and Bass Bash.

The benefit a side sound hole brings, is that when someone inevitably posts something (e.g. a cheese sandwich) into the body, you'll be able to get it out again.

Looks cool. However...... The thing that really, really, really bugs me is the square corner on the bottom of the control plate by the body edge. I'd want to file that into a round corner. But...... It's not my bass, so whatever makes you happy is the important bit.
