I like the ripples in a pond effect you got going there!

Infact considering I am not a fan of quilted/rippled etc guitar tops I really like it!

you look wonderful tonight by eric clapton?

Beatle is a good idea, something they know!

:D

If that's a graphite nut, and your strings are going to be going in those directions, then i believe you're running the risk of snapping your nut in half, or breaking the pole points. Just make sure you string one string at a time. Other than that, that's a pretty sweet lookin' bass!

And Snapping Nuts in half is never a good thing ( sorry man had to)

I agree that is a nice bass

I like it!

yeah i figure i can put another 150 or so in it and still be ok i am just gonna have to be careful where i put my money i am looking at graphtech saddles nut and string tree, then bumping up the springs and some pickups

doesn any one have experence with the fender tex mex pickups they look nice but how do they sound i know they are the right price.

I set my strat bridge flush with the body with 4 springs (i use 11s) and its bsically a fixed bridge but will dive when I want it to!

then I lost the arm! currently using a screw driver!

wow this is really heating over nothing isn't it?

Are we all forgetting how easy it is to miss read the jist of what someone is trying to say on the forums?

By the way...Bass amps have to be higher wattage to produce the same volume of a lower watt guitar amp...because of the heavier speakers,etc...

Or did you think they just put out those high watt amps for no reason?

also because bass sounds horrible distorted with a few exceptions!

asnd human hearing is not desigend to pick up low frequency well so its need to put our a higher spl to be heard at a similar perceived volume.

surely forum etiquette is netiquette?

aslong as its stable I can't imagine it will affect the sound in anyway you'd notice.

You get some acoustic guitars with way more damage than that afterall

nice mandolin by the way

I dunno wes getting a girl to sit on a massive bass rig while you jamb out some serious low frequency..... best use of a stringed instrument?

Now you are speaking my language...

But in reality I can do that with my Engl...

well by carrying out a series of experiments I shall research what is better a bass or guitar.

now to find a guineapig hopefully I won't have to use an actual guineapig

I dunno wes getting a girl to sit on a massive bass rig while you jamb out some serious low frequency..... best use of a stringed instrument?

I saw one like that! then I passed it!

Welcome to the site by the way footstool maker!

I see one flaw in your marketing campaign. This is a guitar building site many people here have access to wood offcuts and all the tools necessary to... make their own

I have never used a stool (I thought the only use was for monkey entertainment or possbily fertilising... sorry ) but it looks nice!

And just one more I can't resist...

I'd be quite proud if I produced a foot stool I may even take a picture!

fight fight fight fight fight!

If you don't relly know what you'd want start with a strat with a flush mounted vibrato unit

I've done a bit of resawing with an actual re-saw but I like hand tools

Fair enough, I know the term vibrato or whammy bar would be better. But you see where people from other countries get confused...

I'm only joshing ya

mexican breed that just goes to show that floyd rose doesn't know what tremolo is either!

it IS a vibrato. or a Whammy

ITS NOT A BLOODY TREMOLO ITS A VIBRATO!

apart from that, what mexican breed said is right you either want a vibrato or you don't want a vibrato it depends what you play

and even then it depends what you want it for I hae guitars with all different types of bridges but no floyd and know bigsby, I'd like a bigsby not fussed either way on a floyd but it could be fun i guess!

could vote for either because i don't beleive either

You should consider a compound radius. You could have the fretboard arch near the top have it decrease until it's flat around the 9th fret, or so. It would make playing a lot easier in general.

A completely flat radius will make it more difficult to play chords. Even if you don't plan on playing many chords, it might not be good idea to have a setup that will hinder your playing in any way; that's just backwards. A very low radius might do you a little better. There's no harm in trying a flat one though(except maybe in your wallet, if you end up not liking it).

I have to ask, sorry. Why are classical guitars´fretboards flat? I played one for some time and given the required position of the hands relative to the legs and all, it is more comfortable. And, in classical music you spend a lot of time playing chords, and almost none pulling the strings. I thought that was one of the reasons.

its the thicker strings under much less tension they are easy to barre without the curve. I think...

I did a flat radius on my 8 string and I really do like how it feels and Plays to the point that Ill be doing most of my builds like that from now on. I say give it a go

what is the radius for? to me it helps fretting barre chords in high tension steel strings.

I was just thinking to myself that it ws better than the average question asked here and then I read the second post

while we are at it ,I'm ?!!!!!!, surely if you want to be perfect it should be I am?

thats how I read it too.

Ah, holy crap! That's amazing!

However, its seemingly more skill then I would be able to work with.

Why don't they make all guitars like that? that seems like such a better design. Who wants their knobs to actually stick out?

me! I hate those maverick controls they are bleugh do they even make them anymore I can't think when I last saw one in a guitar shop mind you its been a while since I've been in one!

and I like to use the little finger technique occasionally aswell!

I can't get a photo to upload on my profile. Pic is sized right and correct format. It gets halfway loaded and just hangs up. Any help?

is it definately the right size by that I mean width height and memory. thats all i've got sorry

heres one for you pete!

How about iinstead of mounting the driver on the guitar giving it a lead and being able to remove it and use it as an ebow.

if you see what I mean ?

knobs that sit flush to the body until you push them then they pop out adjust and then push them back in that'd be cool!

Well, then you covered all the bases and he will be getting exactly what he wants. I liked that you made him justify what he asked for, hehe.

he covered all the basses and the twelve strings (i'm on fire tonight!)

anyone else thinking of the double necked bass in spinal tap at this moment?
