Jon Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Looks great! I can't wait to hear soundclips. But one question, why don't you put the strings in the tuner holes instead of just having them wrap around it? I did on the final pictures...........the one with them wrapped is from when I was "finalizing" the nut slots, so I was just wanting the string slightly on there........If you look at the volute photo I have them in the hole and wrapped. Good to know. I'm just tired of guitarists that play / own basses that string them up like that and wonder why the strings go out of tune often or come off the tuners.

Hector Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hey man, that's some nice work you've been doing. ....from what I've read having the excess glue is good, means I covered it all! I'll be sanding of excess glue tonight!.......... just one thing, in the pics, it looks like you leave all the glue that's been squeezed out alone to sand the excess when it's dry. my advice: After you are done with the clamps and stuff, you should wipe off all the glue that you can, before it dries. then sanding should be minimal. keep up the good work how much does it weight?

Jon Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 The trick is to let the glue dry a little before taking it off. Close to an hour or so. That way it all peels off together instead of smearing into the pores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked it. It has a nice mid range sound with some bite.............It's not hard to cut through with a 3 piece, but it's hard to tame it down...........I was able to do so with no problems........Worked great!

DigthemLows Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Here's a busy little line to give an idea of sound.........Everything set flat with no effects and recorded directly to Garageband through a Tascam u122. I put the drum track in to keep it from being to boring...... 28 second clip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
