    sorry,but they didnt even bother to help,wich pissed me off,only cause i spent ages gettin the info
  2. whitey
    wrong,i'm not actually buildin,i'm giving suggestions,so feck off
  3. whitey
    so do you have any pick ups in mind?wat sound/style do u like to play?
  4. whitey
    hey garry,moneys rolling in now lol,everytime i see the guitar it still has that'wow' factor than wen i first seen it,hope sue is getting a raise for that lol.when are u planing on finishing it?as in putting it back togethor?
  5. whitey
    why?seems a good idea,it will seal it and stop the glue seaping through,look,i'm trying my hardest here,i dont no a lot about wood as much as you guys,at least i'm trying
  6. whitey
    have you looked at the led tutorial?that tells you how to set the lights up,or just crew the whole led thing and get some ''glowdotz'' lol
  7. whitey
    how?lets say ur truss rod is 1 meter...just think lol,all u need to do is to lenthen the cavity my 5cm or so,and when you route your neck pocket,drill a ho,le fron the pick up cavity,to the truss cavity?
  8. whitey
    ahh,i was thinking of a glued in neck,sorry,have u got the tools to rifle dill?just drill a hole from the pick up cavity,to the truss rod cavity,and u have a rout for the wires,i guess u have to make sure that the wires dont go near the truss rod by extending the truss rod cavity,sory for the confusin lol,but there's a way for everything i guess
  9. whitey
    near lanark?south lanarkshire...west-end
  10. whitey
    lets say u have the neck wired up,and u have the wire comin outa the bridge,and then u drill a hole through the neck pocket through to the pickup cavity to feed the wires to,and then as there is already a hole to let the pickup wires reach the control cavity,feed the led wires through there,assuming u want an on/off switch at the control cavity i could draw a picture if ur really stuck,but i'm frustrated the now as the comp is freezing lol,but if ur making the neck through from scratch,it should be easy...ish lol

    could you not use vinyl sealer?i dunno if thats the name of the company's product or not,but behlen make it,and it says that wen putting on a pollyurathane gloss finish,its recomended to finish the wood/guitar with vinyl sealer,then polyurathane finish it,would that work?its to stop it bleeding through heres a picture,i tried getting info elswere,but this is the only way,it tells you about the vinyl sealer at the bottom,and its only £7 per quarter gallon hope that helps,cause its been 45 minutes since i read this to try and get the info up !! lol.just trying to prove i no a little bit about this sorta stuff,i bet its got nothing to do with wat u want lol,sorry anyway
  12. whitey
    u can install the lights as usual,then thread a wire throught the bridge pickup,then through to the controls,and make a switch.my way seems way to expensive tho.isnt it just the same as a bolt on?
  13. whitey
    ahh,the ''buy a set of four,then by 2 indaviduals'' makes sense now,but they wont match up,i'll just buy eight,its cheaper than buying 6...doesnt make sense but it does lol
  14. whitey
    use a paper template,like stick it to the neck,fold over and cut,and poke out the holes,then place the paper in the neck pocket,and drill away
  15. whitey
    wat u mean every supplier you've seen sells them in kits?like 6?and i'm from uk,so all the american sites aren't a lot of help,cause i gotta pay 30-40 pounds,not just shiping,.but for tax and stuff,so i'll never do that again
  16. whitey
    hey,i have honestly looked everywere,but i am looking for tuners for a six string bass,but they only come in fours!it is really annoying,the only way i can fnd them,is if i buy 2 sets of 4 tuners,then i will see a pack of 6 somewere lol. well i guess i'm askin if anyone knows were i can find them?preferably Y shaped,black thanks
  17. whitey
    so was it actual fibre optics?or led's?if it was led's,would u be so kind to tell me how?lol. i'm planning to do it to my bass i'm makin,but i cant if i have no clue lol
  18. whitey
    yeah,sory for not replying earlier,about a day after i asked the question,i got a slotted,radioused indian rosewood,6 string fretboard,and some other stuff,including a router lol
  19. whitey
    wow,and matching green pickups,the middle one looks best,but that is gonna look really sweet,and i spose the great thing about it is that its so uniqe,until u post pics of ur guitar,i will then take ur pics,print them,stick them on my axe and...anyway lol.but that looks great,its incredible how u find the time,and other people,to do these great things
  20. whitey
    yeah,but it has been treated,and must be strenthened,and its been sealed,anyway,never mind,i have managed to get in contact with some,and i can either get an ebony,pre slotted,or either brazilion or indian rosewood,i'm going for the rosewood i think,thanks for all the help guys,much appreciated,nice to talk to guitarists who actually no a thing or two,rather than my usual crowd of''i play squire and greenday rules''god dam hate them eople lol,anyway,thanks for the help
  21. whitey
    ooo,i was drawing a pretty good strat,but without pickups,i was on the body,its at my schools computer,so i cant get it,but i can make an awsome bo-diddely (the square guitar)
  22. whitey
    yeah,a sort of ''jump'' ''how high sir'' sorta thing lol any reason why not having spalted maple?
  23. whitey
    and now you have confused me again lol,but i do have it sorted no,took down some rough notes and stages,i have it all worked out in theory now,just the practise to go lol so wood spalted maple be good for a fretboard,i no its the same as maple,so it shouldnt be a problem?
  24. whitey
    ''So if you're doing a 34" scale bass, position your bridge so that the G string is 34" away from the nut, having already moved it forward (toward the nut) along its range of adjustment. '' wow greg,that helps a lot,now it all makes sense and makes planin a lot easier,its going to be a 35 inch, i never actually made the body on the 6 string,just some of the neck i just put it together a few mins ago,playin it now lol and thanks for the welcome,i've been on the projectguitar homepage a lot,but never knew there was a forum lol
  25. whitey
    so its safe to say he's rich then,i really like that ghecko,and the finding nemo style one,the one with the clown fish,just because of the orange,that is one uniqe talent u got there,its so uniqe i keep forgetteing to put the ''U'' in unique lol hey craig,do you know any u.k wood campanies?i'm searching for some rosewood for a fretboard,but as easy as it may seem,i cant find any,only found fretboards for a 4 string bass,i've even toyed with the idea of buying 2 and fitting them togethor,like a bookmatched style lol.
