    Allowing the strings to be pulled through the body instead of top loaded usually improves the resonance and sustain on any guitar or bass. Wish I could advise you on the bridge but I really wouldn't know which is better, that could depend on what style of playing and also the construction your planning for the bass itself. Yes there is a direct connection with how high you want your fret board verses how tall the bridge sit's on the body. That will even very more depending on if your planning a neck through or bolt on style of neck. Adding an angle to the headstock is always a good idea to help avoid problems with feedback and secondary harmonics being produced between the nut and the tuners (that is a signal that can be heard usually even without the instrument being pluged in.

    Ibanez has started doing that with all of the RG's in the 500 series range and up I think.

    Welcome to the forum ZoSo_420 Also have a look at some of the hollow body guitars people are working on here in the forum, they are starting to become more and more popular.

    Like Maiden69 said do a few test try's first till you get the hang of it before tackling the body, you will be glad you did.

    Might make for an intersting natural burst since sometimes people want the back darker anyway. My best guess is they knew they were going to do a solid color hence hiding the different woods, wierd way to laminate the wood togther though instead of it being a few pieces side by side vs that top and bottom.

    Actually so can that tool so watch your fret ends as you go (take breaks and inspect after a few swipes with it).

    Make sure you use flat top screws as well that will counter sink into the exsisting holes that way the saddles will lay flat on the base.

    Welcome to the forum GutenBurg I corrected the font thing for you on the post, anyway......... Your going to have to pull the frets and then do a standard inlay job starting from there. Routing out the shape after you scribe it onto the wood, gluing it in then leveling it down and polishing it off, then of course refretting the neck.

    Mine was just pounded in with a hammer (ok I tapped it in making sure I did not split the wood)
  19. Brian
    Won't those mini's be your switching system with both pickups at full on or off with a set up like that?

    Actually according to the law the way it stands even without it being stated on or near the image, once an image is uploaded to a server for public display it has an automatic copyright.
  23. Brian
    Part of the extra angle behind the nut and also on a TOM is due to a problem called secondary harmonics as well i/e the reason behind a string tree on Strat necks.........
