    is it a good idea to paint a fret board black without clear coat? i know it will chip occasionally. my acoustic guitars fretboard is painted also, thats where i got the idea from

    i would buy that guitar but im only 15, and my parents probably wouldnt let me buy it

    i looekd on ed romans website and i seen that they had a bronze series mockingbird bass! and i was like right on! but the only bc rich i can order from their site is an eagle. anyone know of any other reliable websites that carry the BRONZE series mockingbird bass guitar? but on the bcrich site it doesnt say they have one, but heres the ed roman one (the headstock doesnt look exactly like a bronze?) http://www.edromanguitars.com/avail/bass/b...l_bcr121112.JPG theres also bronze body blanks that are really expensive goto numer 27 http://www.edromanguitars.com/parts/bodyblanks.htm

    i have a ibanez soundgear GIO bass, color is bluey/purple, no scratches on front but on the back there is scratches, theres a chip in the paint at the heel. everything is in working order, and i was wondering what it would be worth? EDIT: very similar to this bass but with a black headstock http://www.barker.eclipse.co.uk/druid/instrument/craig.jpg

    hey, i dont have any pointers for you, but im also making a mockingbird, bass tho and not neck thru...its a little different then the mockingbird but i had to have my little bit of originality, cant wait to see what both of ours will look like done

    the danelectro mini amp is pretty cool and slick, it also has a distortion pedal if you want to use your big amp http://images.misupply.com/products/origin...tro/120611O.jpg

    love the fretboard, i find it really original, keep up the great work, can wait to see it done
  9. Hughes
    yeah, similar to that...but i cant see the construction details even when i expand

    ok thanks, the reason i was wonsdering was becasue im almost done my 4 string neck, and i kinda wished that i would of made a 5 string neck in stead. would it work to buy a different brand 5 string bridge+nut and put it on a 4 string?
  11. Hughes
    i was looking on hipshots website and iseen the "convert your 4 string bass to a 5 string" and i was wondering if the pack was just a 5 string bridge and the tuning machines that also required a new neck
  12. Hughes
    do you want a CAD plan for a body? if so then go to www.guitarbuild.com
  13. Hughes
    no idont mean "is there a bass trem" i mean could you make an existing bass bridge into a bass trem....but GregP i would make some better plans. and about the pivot, is that jsut screws that screw in at the top part of the bridge to hold it in while it lifts?
  14. Hughes
    watch the tostito corn chip commercial haha the guy has a huge double neck flying v bass/guitar
  15. Hughes
    oh ok thanks...i should really learn to use the search sorry. i think i will try to make one out of an existing bridge, i think it could work check the drawing i made...maybe it will work? http://storage.msn.com/s1pZ8pl_R1n1zEoDjay...450581319225725 please note that the trem hole is on the wrong side i believe
  16. Hughes
    has anyone took a normal bass bridge and altered to to be tremolo? just curious so dont get all mad hah
  17. Hughes
    wow jamm thats awesome...so after you torched it you put clear over it or what? that would looks awesome on the mockingbird im building. also would it work if i painted the guitar black first then torch it to get thats burn look?
  18. Hughes
    funny guy, but thanks for the link
  19. Hughes
    where do you buy one, how much also?
  20. Hughes
    oh sorry i got confused with something else, my bad
  21. Hughes
    not sure if im right but i would round it first, then sand, then veneer...but im not possitive
  22. Hughes
    thanks, i imagine like Wademeister said he used a rasp, a file would work also then shouldnt it oh and nice work on your guitar Wademeister
  23. Hughes
    sorry about that, but yeah any suggestions would be nice
  24. Hughes
    do you guys think its more of a slope made by a chamfer router bit (exuse my speeling if its wrong and sorry for like double posting)
  25. Hughes
    oh, i also forgot to mention that the rounded (more of a slope i guess?) gets smaller as it goes down
