  1. Ukelele ?
  2. Get a bass for a 10 year old then. Problem solved
  3. No problem with 4" super wide strap. My 80's Aria Pro ll SB900 weighed 10+ Lbs but my 4 incher made it feel like an 8 pounder, due to the spread of weight from such a wide strap. In fact all my straps are now 4" coz i luv 'em
  4. The neck was a beatiful tight fit in the pocket - tight is always a preferred fit. Its all coming good. I'm nowhere as experienced as young Andrew, and with only a hand plane, i was very dubious that i could plane the heel level and square. I would have loved to have a table planer Still, by only doing a shave , then check, a shave , then check, ad inf. i did get it square and level, minus the 5mm it needed. Plan B bewteen us was always an option, as Andy had no idea whether his ink dye could get the neck as black we wanted, so fair play. The fretboard is lovely, despite Andy's first time working with such an unknown like Richlite, which has it's quirks. The fretting is bang on. So with some minor tweaks, and spray, we'll be on top of the game. A big thanks to young Andrew JR for the effort it took.
  5. They missed a trick there. The should have had the seat on working hinges, like a real lav. Would make a handy toilet if caught short at an outside gig
  6. I dont see the problem. He wants to survive and he isn't Mesa Boogie or Ampeg. Good for him. Everybody will be putting everything up, not just cabs. Everyone will have to suck it up. Anyway, they're a luxury. It isnt important in the great scheme of things.
  7. I know Charlie Jones used to play a plexi one, dont look like a DA Jones is amongst others, Goldfrapp's bassist, is married to Robert Plant's daughter and was bassist on some of Planty's solo albums Skip to 1:32 if you cant be donkeyed to watch it from the start
  8. Like your wages ? 🤓
  9. ... really ? Oooh ya, so it is. ! Bargain
  10. Surely in this day and age it's a £2 coin ??
  11. Someone needs to change the elastic band
  12. PS i'm on a laptop, Win 10, Firefox. Cant be sure but dont remember seeing this site error before today PPS Its not because my attachment limit has been reached. You have used 183.87 MB of your 488.28 MB attachment limit.
  13. I've tried about 4 times, still get the error. Renamed the file, no good. Tried a different .jpg , still no good.
  14. I keep getting an error when trying to upload a small .jpg. Its only 69kb so not a whopper
  15. Mine is the G75 and never had the teeniest problem from it at any gig
  16. I have both a 15 ( 1x15 Trace Elliot SMX 300 Combo ) and 10's ( Barfaced 4x10. ) I love both, but the weight of the Barfaced with my Ampeg head weighs way less and much easier to move around
  17. That was my plan - i have wood drill bits with blades like shovels, from 10mm to 25mm. I also have a Bosch pillar drill, so i can at least drill accurately perpendicular. I'll hog out most of the material, letting the wood shovels clear the worst
  18. I'm using ply rather than plastic, but i'll take the advice and get bearing cutter
  19. I might look for a top bearing in that case.
  20. Indeed Paul, cutting your scratch plate that way seems perfect, but thats not the same thing Cutting a cavity with a router bit that has a bearing on the bottom doesnt seem feesible to me
  21. I decided to go the straight double flute bit, no bearing at all The template only has to last 2 pickup cavities. It's aslo a bottom cleaning ( ooer ) bit so the floor of the cavity is as nice as the sides I cant see a bearing on the bottom of the cutter is any good at all . How would that work ?
  22. I've now got the other work to do that i wished Andy could be doing, but if i take my time and ask Andy questions, even if he's on the bog, i should be ok
  23. Probably the best way, i would think
