That image looks like it was taken by a submersible near the ocean floor.

So... this isn't about taking your bass for a walk?

Welcome BN.

I would have liked to see Bill Holloman on sax. Nothing wrong with this line up though.

Very nice. The infill looks like a good match.

Rob is a good 'un.
He's designed and printed a couple of pickup bezels for my B2A to match the originals. He won't accept payment, claiming that it's nothing really. It is to me however.
He wasn't satisfied with the finish on those he sent me and is going to try and improve it. It isn't anything that can't be dealt with easily by myself but he is striving for excellence. Admirable.
Cheers Rob

It's easier with a model. Send me a link if you can
I did. Here is the URL again -

I'll print it for you and bang it in the post. It's no big deal.
What exactly do you want to print though?
It's very kind of you to offer. I'll PM you the address.
The standard bezel is a flat plate whereas the one modelled has a raised portion at one end that I don't want. I haven't found a model that hasn't been modded somehow. I would only want the flat plate like the original below. I don't know how difficult it would be to remove the thumb rest and leave two countersunk holes at the corners and the two plain screw holes between.

the CNC design software was a pain.
I certainly didn't find it intuitive even with the help of the designer of the hardware.
I missed out on your earlier post where you were offering to print items for members. I'd have submitted this link to a model of the pickup bezel on my B2A. The corner broke off off one of mine by the screw head, just where I put my thumb, making it uncomfortable after a while. This particular one has an added thumb rest which I didn't really want so I left it.

this module needs to be as stiff as possible (cue @SpondonBassed and all Viz readers).
I'm not touching that unless it's moist as well as stiff.
In all seriousness though, I am watching with interest. I had a brief involvement with CNC router table manufacture. I couldn't quite get my head around the 3d software that it ran before I moved on from there. It left me with a fascination for it having glimpsed the potential though.
I like the idea of 3d printed homes.

I’m still slightly surprised by mine when I crank it.
Not half as surprised as the other shoppers at ALDI.

I have to be there to insert nuts in at the right time.
Always wise.

A new “bullet” truss rod nut ordered. Which will mean the neck will have to be removed to alter it
Since the neck is off already I will assume you mean to remove the fretboard.Those frets look well worn. Will a fret dressing be enough?Great colour.
Never mind... I see what you mean now. Perhaps best not to remove the fretboard as it has some nice binding and concealed fret ends.
