  1. Hi I got these tuners in a job lot and I have no clue what brand they are? Any ideas?
  2. When I put it up for sale I’m going to advertise it with or without the pickguard 👍🏻
  3. Yeah I’ve still got to reshape the headstock 👍🏻 This was before I routed it……
  4. Hi been a while since I’ve posted on here but here’s my latest build…….. The body is a scaffold board back and a book matched Sheesham (Indian Rosewood) top reclaimed from an old dining table…….👍🏻
  5. When I hold the guitar up to my ear the buzz is definitely coming from the body end and not the nut end I did a basic set up when I changed the strings the neck is virtually flat with not a lot of relief As you’ll see from the pictures the action is very high it’s approx 5mm, the strings are breaking from the nut nicely so I think it must be the bridge?? The
  6. Hi all I need some advice please I’ve just pickup an acoustic bass and I’ve got buzzing on the open A and slight buzzing in the open D it sounds like it’s coming from the bridge? Am I right in thinking that it could be an issue with the string angle being too shallow as it comes over the saddle? The problem is the action is really high so I can’t raise the saddle up any higher! I want to lower the action as well but am struggling to think of any other way to do it other than change the whole neck angle? Any advice would be great!! Thanks
  7. Sorry for not posting pics sooner but here’s the wiring and the diagram I used Bizarrely I’m getting output but when I test the pickup with a multimeter I’m not getting any resistance? 🤔
  8. That was my initial thought but it’s not touching anywhere I’ll put some pictures on when I get home later 👍🏻
  9. Hi all I’m having an issue with my 51 style p bass wiring the volume of the pickup was really low so I changed the pots which sorted out that problem but the tone pot also does the volume I’ve checked the wiring and it’s all correct, I changed the cap just in case and that made no difference either I think I recall hearing somewhere that it could be an issue with the coil wires on the pickup? Does that sound like it could be the cause? or have I got my wires crossed (sorry bad pun!!!) Any advice would be great thanks 👍🏻
  10. Thanks everyone for the replies I understand there’s no one size fits all answer I’m really just looking to get something to get me started if you know what I mean then if things carry on then upgrade to something better I think I’ll look for around the 500w size but my budget is around £200 I’ve seen a few Trace Elliot’s for around that price………👍🏻
  11. I’m possibly going to start gigging soon and was wondering what size amp/Brands everyone would recommend for an average size pub gigs? Funds are quite tight so budget options would be great 👍🏻 I’ve seen a Ashdown Electric Blue 180 that is local and reasonably priced? (£100)
  12. Hi I hope this doesn’t make me sound too stupid but can I wire up any pickups to a 2 band eq preamp harness or do they need to be specifically active pickups The reason I’m asking is I prefer playing with flats I really don’t like rounds and just wanted to be able to boost the treble a bit to make them sound a bit brighter on a few songs………..👍🏻
  13. Here’s my latest Fenderbird build….,,👍🏻
  14. I’ve done it without a table once! That’s was a scary 5mins!! 🫣 It’s not too bad on a table when you do multiple shallow passes
