  1. I almost asked not to get that reply, but I decided not to kill all of your fun. I'd love to make a purpleheart bridge cover for my bass. any suggestions, comments or warnings?
  2. Ok, brace yourselves for some solid stupidity What exactly is the purpose of a bridge cover?
  3. thanks for the offer, that would be great. let me know when you find your friggin calipurs
  4. yeah, I found that a little odd as well
  5. it's roughly based (bassed) on a couple of Ritter models and the BC Rich Wave
  6. there it is before all the routing. I'll get you a more recent pic as soon as I have one
  7. I really like the flower. I did something similar on a refinishing project Keep us up to date on how it's going
  8. yeah, I'd mentioned I want to use a stewmac box, which is basically the same.
  9. can you you install a battery box on the back of a bass between the pickups without a huge effect on your sound? I'm looking at the stewmac box (possibly the 18-volt if I can get away with it). I'm also open to other suggestions. This information may be useful to know as well; The through-body section is 1-5/16 thick. I'm using 2 active soapbars (so I'll be doing a lot of routing down the middle to begin with).
  10. to avoid a messy-looking joint, I don't rough within 1/16" of a surface that will be visible after gluing. obviously there are exceptions, but it works well for large pieces (like neck-through instruments)
  11. good luck on the calc final. I've been there 3 times (calc I, II, and III)
  12. The properties of wood may be different, yes (I believe Spruce was the wood in question in those tests), but the mechanism through which glues work is the same, and the basic structure of wood is the same. Of course, you've got oily, hard to glue woods as well, and those may requires some de-oiling (although again, there be arguments on that front), or maybe the use of epoxy (which does like a rougher surface). Gluing Metal is a completely different subject, natch. I've glued silver for inlay (good ol CA), but I'd probably go with epoxy or polyurethane for dissimlar materials. ← good insight. thanks again.
  13. lol no, I missed half of that. I guess I just assemed he was talking about metal, I didn't seem to consider any pivotal wood-wood joints on an airplane. (and, yes I realize you don't glue metals. that's what I was getting at when refering to the vastly different properties of metal vs. wood) Please excuse me, I'm extremely tired right now. finals week is taking it's toll, and I'm only one day into it. Any more contributions to the actual topic at hand?
