It doesn't make sense. I mean... how can you slide it inbetween a bumper?

Welcome Bassfingerer.

Coors now.

Welcome Ethan.

Welcome M-rek.

I've had some Sapele boards and offcuts from Harlow Brothers of Derby. I'm not sure they'd have much in the way of exotic woods but I wouldn't dismiss the possibility without asking. They have a branch (imperceptible titter) at Burton on Trent too.

I like it in its new, aldered state. Splendid repair job with credit to Mick for a positive start and a great choice of veneer.

Codswallop!

Welcome back Rich.

Welcome Harvey, the titular. Your affliction has a name: GAS or Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Even air-bassists suffer with it. Once they're bored with the air in one room they go into another room and punctuate the air in there. Must admit though, it's a much cheaper affliction that way.

I take your point. Just think of me as the divil's advocate.

I think it's a great idea with the advantage that you can conveniently have all of your kit nicked in one little opportunist's swoop. Nicely executed though. I wish you well with it.

Do you know of anyone with a bench saw (disc blade)? Band saws tend to be best at the shallower cuts. With a disc saw you can make more than one pass usually.

Ah, the wisdom of age.

They weren't bothered, they had millions to burn.

Was that an 18V drill? For that large a diameter of hole-cutter you'd need something with a lot of torque and a decent size of grip to hold it steady.

I am not sure I agree with the 200Hz figure as an absolute or even an approximate as you have noted. I believe the threshold would change a lot depending on things like the age of the subject and the health of their hearing system. If skeletal perception is right (and I can easily believe so) it's still directional. I mean, sound pressure waves will still hit one side of you before the other and if your perception is sharp enough or you are familiar enough with LF you will instinctively know where the boom is coming from. There is also evidence that people perceive differently because they don't possess the same receptors and cell clusters in their brain stem. It's a fascinating subject that is a little beyond my comfort zone. I'd like to see it tested but I am not going to look for YT clips right now because I've got a couple of things coming up. Would anyone care to look for supporting evidence for both Breadbin's and my assertions in the meantime?

I feel your frustration over waiting for your router.

That reminds me what a sales person told me in a high street car audio shop once. He was trying to sell me a sub. I declined and said that I didn't want it competing with the sound of my motor when driving and anyway, it's a mono signal and I like my stereo to be full range. He replied by saying that the human ear was incapable of telling from which direction bass sounds come from so it doesn't matter. He also went on to say that the ear can not tell what note is being played at low frequencies. I quietly walked out and left the cloth-eared chappie to it.

With masking tape, the solvent in the polish will soak through the tape and make a gooey mess of the adhesive. If left for any length of time the solvent evaporates and it becomes tedious to remove the adhesive. Mr DelVar's recommendation avoids that by removing the adhesive before any deposits are made on the fretboard. Cheers Skank! I will adopt that method from now on. It's far easier than using proprietary devices such as these: They are intended more for fret dressing anyway.
