    It looks great, what type of finish did you use on that bass?
  2. mammoth guitars
    Titebond for the woodworking portion.

    Don't forget the hardener for the RS6040, they have 3, fast, medium and slow.

    Yes clean between coats during the same day, unless you are doing multiple guitars at the same time, then clean when done. Don't pour the left overs back into the original can but use a clean glass container. This will keep any stray particles out of your original can. Strain any particles in the glass container and add more finish if needed for the next coat.

    To bypass the volume connect the switch so the hot wire from the pickup and the middle wire on the volume pot are disconnected from the pot and connected to each other when switched. This will require a DPDT switch. Leave the tone wire connected to the volume pot and the tone is bypassed as well.

    If you have the neck you can measure from the inside of the nut to the 12th fret and multiply by 2 to get the scale. Without the neck you can design the new neck to fit with the position of the bridge. What is the distance from the neck pocket to the E string saddle? With that dimension you may be able to come up with the scale based on typical guitar designs.

    1) Gibson has pictures on their site that can give you an idea of how they handle binding. Typically they spray over the binding then scrape them clean. Some people mask with tape however scraping will give you the sharpest edge. 2) Using a router and templates is the most common method to route cavities. For the binding channel most use a router with undersized bearing bit that will give the proper channel depth. Taylor has many different videos on their site one of which shows how they cut the binding channel.

    Yes the scratches will hide in the next coat. Make sure the surfaces are clean before spraying the next coat. You don't want sanding dust in the clear.

    +1 That is the best way to wire a kill switch - same as the volume set zero and keeps the amp quiet.

    Typically with Dimarzio the shield and green go to ground.

    What kind of bridge is it? You may be able to fill and redrill and not even see the change.

    The hole in the knob may be larger than the pot shaft. Perhaps you need a sleeve in the knobs.
  13. mammoth guitars
    Nice. Got a few licks of Hotel California now.

    It might be difficult to tune without fine tuners.

    Brian makes some good points. The length of the string will affect the tension required to bring the string to tune. Perhaps this is one of the reasons Steinberg has no headstock. In any case you will need to balance asthetics with the desired tension length.

    I beleive you meant pickup height springs?

    Intonation is only affected by bridge and nut position. Drawing your headstock shape on a piece of paper will help you define where the tuners should be placed. Generally with a symetric shape and 3+3 configuration a half inch from the edge will work. Once you have the drawing you can put holes in the paper to mock it up.

    They are called nut blocks. They come in a set of 3.

    We use Grover locking tuners - nothing to lock or unlock, just put the string through and turn.

    +1, 5/8" is the standard neck pocket depth.
  21. mammoth guitars
    Welcome
  22. mammoth guitars
    You have made a good investment, don't stop, get a Boss DR-880 and record your music with the others.
  23. mammoth guitars
    Drop us an email and let us know what parts you are looking for.

    The pickups could be raised too close to the strings, meaning too much magnetic string pull.
  25. mammoth guitars
    Use a sprial down cut bit.
