How can you not see a bass on the couch?
It's camouflaged. Look!😄
Plus I've had it about 30 years and it just lies around the front room. It's taken for granted the poor thing.

Didn't realise another bass was on the couch 😆.
Next job is to sand neck with 240 grit to get ready for the wudtone finish. Burn my name into the headstock, the finish with the aforementioned wudtone oil.

This song combines all the best elements of DT, Images prog, TOT metal and even a Flood style mid section. 👌
Fair bit of Zappa and Vai in there too....and Megadeth.

I loved the first few DT albums, then kind if got bored with then around falling into infinity. (I did enjoy train of thought tho)
Never really got into Myung though. He could clearly play but it never really turned me on. Didn't like his sound either, great player tho.
Didn't listen to the for about 15 years but started listening to the first 2 albums again recently and they are cracking. Immense prog.

I saw them 3 times between the falling into infinity and scene from a memory album years ago. I guess between 98 and 2002. They were always excellent. They seem enthused too. Hung out with em once. All cool guys.

Mine's a prick so I don't listen to it!

I replaced all of the screws in my kit. If you wanted to cut that down, perhaps just the neck to body screws and the bridge to body screws because they take the most torque.
Use the candle wax to lubricate the screw threads. Just rub a bit off on the threads and then screw them home. It helps reduce the friction and does not harm the wood.
I bought a babicz bridge for it. Think that has its own Screws.

The one thing that I would recommend changing for higher quality is the screw set. Often this is where costs have been cut. Having a screw head shear off is not an insurmountable problem but it is an annoying one. Also, use a good fitting driver and candle wax when it comes to assembly.
I used the supplied tuning pegs on my IB5 kit and found them to be okay.
As in the screws you attach to the headstock with?
And, kinky as I am, what's the candle wax for?

Starting to get on with this.
First up, a mistake I made. I bought all the stuff roughly at the same time, Including the Wudtone finish. Today I realised it only has a 3 month shelf life.
So it's gone off. Total waste of money.😆
Anyway, the plan is to have the neck done by the middle of April.
So I'm looking for a bit of advice.
Should I buy some Schaller tuning pegs for it or stick with the Chinese ones that came with it?
They seem quite sturdy and have been told that the difference will be minimal.
I don't want to have to change down the line and have excess holes in the back of the headstock.

I'm legitamately using this.
I legitimately used it a lot😅
I miss doing the theatre work. Had to give it up for family reasons.
And since covid I don't even play in regular bands.
Sad times really 😄

When playing to an audience of Alcoholics Anonymous don't think they can't see you sipping from your bottle of beer secreted behind your amp.
Cos they'll all be behind your amp!

If on stage in a touring musical show make your Gin and tonic in a sparkling water bottle. Then you look healthy and professional.

Cheers Pete, I didn’t want to appear over persnickety but we at The Post Office have taken a bit of a battering in the press recently - some will say deservedly so - re the Subpostmaters/Horizon scandal, so would rather we don’t take the hit for another companies inefficiencies as well.
I think Lozz's next band/album should be called
Persnickety Lozz and The Post Scandal

Without hearing the music its hard to comment on who's right and even then it's subjective.
As for being focused on notes, never focus on notes. In fact best not to play any!
