-
i dont know how to get my own body styles and necks in that virtualguitar thinger, do you need to buy it?
-
ohhh nice nice
-
ok thanks, its you guys that keep making me wanting to build build, all your guitars look so good
-
hahah if i had a spare guitar id put that on in a second haha i love kramer he is halarious
-
yeah do you have any more photos of your awesome beast?
-
Wes, what did you use to draw the body design? like did you free hand, trace a real one, or found a good DWG on the net?
-
makes sense
-
hey, probably been done before, but i want to get a general idea of what make of guitars you guys play, and some photos would be nice to I play a Ibanez bass right now, but am looking for a BC Rich guitar (please, dont tell me i shouldnt get one, because I will anyways )
-

what about a sliding compund mitre saw that can cut angles?
-
how bout a mitre saw?one of them should work? i havent made an angle stock yet so i was also wondering that would work to right?
-
hey, the bass your interested will be good, i have a soundgear bass (with out the active pickups) and its pretty reliable and good. now for the amp, all i know is bass mess up guitar amps if you turn it on loud, so for PA Systems if there anything like guitar amps i wouldnt try it. IMO i would buy a Bronze Warlock bass because their pretty wild but i know from experiance that the soundgear basses are good. and how much watts are you looking for in an amp? like do you need a beast cabinet+head or just a combo?
-
how about if instead of just chambering, i make the shape of the body. except rout everything out except a small amount so its still there and is quite solid you know just instead of bending the sides then would it sound like an acoustic? also there aer some preamp systems that are $40 canadian. so would this work?
-
that...wes...is verry nice work, love the beast, keep up the good work
-
i think im just gonna stick wiht buying amps for now haha thanks for all the help/info
-
thanks man, sorry if i made it seem like it was a fad
-
hah well i guess i should of pointed out the reasons why i never finished my bass is because i did screw up, especially on the neck pocket, and it was horrribly out of scale, some jerk knocked it over and messed up the long wing up, i really couldnt afford the parts for it because my plans backfired and would of ended up paying for brand new parts. and because i really never needed a bass, but needed a guitar. so i thought id clear that with you that i didnt quit the other one to start this one
-
huh? would you mind explaining my "flakiness" and "whim" because if you dont want to help me out i really could care less, maybe some kinder person would glady give me some tips, next time keep it to your self
-
yeah, i was thinking about it all last night, i hate when i come up with these ideas when i try to sleep. also making a thinline seems alot cheaper then making a solid body since i tried a bass, decided i want to make a guitar instead, now got this semi finished bass that i dont want to spend anymore money on.
-
only reason i chose pine is because at the shop we have tons of it and if im putting a top and back on anyways after i didnt think it would be a big deal. would i still be able to use those onboard preamps and the hidden pickup? and if i stuck those holes in the top wing area would it be louder then an average guitar without an amp?
-
well is there any reason my way wont work?
-
