  1. no all I did was type o well now I have seen a smiley that big
  2. good job I like the headstock and the burst well get people talking if nothing els
  3. well after a few days of playing it I could not be more happy with it it has the sound and sustain I want and the 2 preamps are better then I thought they would be. thanks for the help, I know I can do much better now and when I get the cash I will start my bass. edit: why is that smiley face so big? lol all I did was type : )
  4. good job on the inlay, I was/am still to scared to do it
  5. it is around 8-9 lbs, the body was 4.5 and the neck 2 before the hardware (my food scale only goes up to 5 and the body was over it after, so not sure how much)
  6. i suck at taking pics it looks a lot better in person
  7. Well I will post my first build, for fun It's name is Ruin Specs Neck ◦ 25" scale length ◦ Macassar ebony fretboard with Zebrano Dots ◦ India Rosewood neck ◦ Brass nut ◦ stainless steel frets Body ◦ Sold Zebrano ◦ Rosewood knobs ◦ water dyes and Tru oil Hardware/Electronics ◦ Seymour Duncan Livewire pickups ◦ Babicz full contact bridge ◦ 2 Volumes / 1 Tone Expander / 1 5 way Booster/Distortion ◦ 9 or 18 volts
  8. ok done took longer then I thought to get everything together. I like it a lot so it was not a failure the hard to see art on the back (can see better in person) is the tarot card 10 of swords and known as the "Lord of Ruin"
  9. well after a 4 hours (1-2 was trouble shooting) and 2 burns one second degree, I have the electronics in and working but it is late and I will not get to string it up till tomorrow and I will post pics and it will be done-ish still a few things to fix/work on like better crowning
  10. that's some real nice stuff there, wish there was a place like that where I lived, the last one looks to be snakewood. it is hard to find bigger then a fretboard, here is a pick as a fretboard
  11. well I just put on the hardware and the bridge is a little crooked but with the bridge I have it should not be a problem it just looks amateurish o well its why I built the guitar 1st so I would muck it up and do better on the bass
  12. leveled the frets and polished some, leveling is not as hard as guitar shops tell you it is
  13. well I started polishing today, next is to finish the neck by fret leveling and gluing the nut (I may need to shim the nut but thought I would wait till after I fret level) then its doing the electronics. it feels weird to be getting to the finish line. I started this ‎August‎ ‎03‎, and I feel like it should not take me near as long on my next one. (a funk bass, but idk when I will get to start it)
  14. ok well thanks for the info, I think the neck will be fine then, I don't plan to keep refinishing it and it is not touching the wood so I should be ok. next time I will make/buy a better wax without silicone
  15. thanks prostheta I did not know about silicone being bad, I have looked and seen people say the same now but I have not seen why. is it hurtful? do I need to sand it off the back of the neck? I had 4 coats or so of tru oil before I added it.
