  1. Eh, I'd actually be interested in the fretboard. How much? Is it cut for a locking nut?
  2. A question for you - why do you want tubes specifically? All the amps seem to be heads. Why?
  3. Take a look at the Peavey Bandit II. €354 from gak.co.uk at the moment.

    Thanks for that skibum. It's an interesting way of installing a rod though!

    Sweet. Looking forward to playing about with it, seeing if the rod is borked.

    Woke up this morning to a private message from a guy I talk to on a forum. He's offering me a five string bass, ebony fretboard, ash body, active pickups, G&L neck, no tuners and a possibly jammed truss rod for a grand total of nowt. AND he's delivering it to me for free on the 20th. It's been a good day. All I need now is five tuners and maybe refret the neck on it
  7. Hee, I'm kinda about to do the same thing except I'm converting a 7 string bolt on to a neck through.
  8. Shiny brass or gold and that'd be funky. All gold hardware, black finish and white binding

  10. Drill it, fill it. imo. Do it carefully though!
  11. Time for some lovely ASCII art Neck blank __________________ |_________________| |_____| Something like that if you can understand it. The head would be cut from the thickest bit on the right. I won't be doing a scarf joint due to the advice here.
  12. Do you just buy EMG's in bulk or something?
  13. Open it, print it out, apply to guitar...
  14. Nice one. So, I have a piece of wood that two inches thick. Can I just glue a piece to the bottom of it then cut the head? Will it still be strong enough?
  15. HA, seems that I'm an idiot. I read in Martin Koch's book :o Anyways, back to the main question. Should I make a glued on peghead with a scarf joint or should I make my neck thicker and cut my head like Gibsons?
  16. For a truss rod, I'd be looking at about €20. And I'm still trying to find that tutorial that that guy made.
  17. tbh, a threaded rod is only a couple of euros and a few hours work. It'll be far easier to install too, just a straight channel.
  18. Well, it's something incredibly like that.... Still, a one-way will do me
  19. It ended up with something like this: Pretty damned easy to make if you ask me!
  20. You don't actually need the reverse die. You can make one from a length of threaded rod, no thread cutting required!!!
  21. What are people's opinions on All Parts fret wire?
  22. It seems to be fairly simple tbh. If I could just find the tutorial. It was basically a piece of thread rod cut in half and welded. I could spend about €6 to make one or €20 to buy one
  23. I picked up a nice piece of Brazilian mahogany for my neck neck through but the question is should I have a scarf joint or glue an extra piece to the bottom of the head? I'm more than likely going to have a volute on it too... Also, can anyone remember a tutorial on how to make a double action truss rod? I can't seem to find it
  24. Well by using a laminate neck you get the strengths of all the neck woods combined which usually makes it stronger...
  25. unclej, any chance you could give me a detailed walk through of how you did the black burst? I'm about to do something like that myself...
