A and C would be the most versatile.

i'm digging the ebony in the heel.

get one of the kahler x200 series- either 2200 or 7200 (hybrid, pricier but better.) they're designed to mount onto the TOM studs of a les paul or SG- designed for a LP- no neck angle worries.

it's easier to adjust, easier to put in in the first place (with a scarf joint, at least), looks better, doesn't weaken up the headstock, doesn't take up any space on the headstock. lots of reasons.

the ones from stewmac are a bit longer, but it's still plenty short- with 24 frets, i have about an extra inch.

i think i can get it for $13-14 a BF, but nothing thicker than 4/4. shame.

not nearly my style guitar, but you're doing a good job with it. nice bevels.

that SUCKS!

not really. i love the color, and the grain is amazing. oh, and it's shiny. always a plus.

peavey bravo 112, one of the countless 25W tube combos that peavey went through trying to find a good design. shame they settled on the valveking instead of the bravo, it's worlds better. it has a problem with the gain channel, though- it's really all or nothing. but sticking in 12AT7s instead of the AX7s really helped that.

i wholly disagree!

it's not that overwhelmingly difficult to find poplar without mineral streaks- and if you can, it's amazing looking wood. i'm building a doubleneck next, and i'm using poplar with a top of some sort, not sure what yet. poplar is definitely harder than basswood, though.

yeah, i have the fast track, and even though it's only $100, there's virtually no latency even running 6 or 7 VSTs at the same time.

congratulations, you just spent way too much on a guitar amp that sounds just as good as mine, for, oh, 20 times the price.

could you specify which 'standard double locking tremelo?' they're all quite different.

black with white pickguard.

EDIT: yes, gotoh is good.

with the body shape, i'd definitely go with a 4x2- the 3x3 would be too symmetrical for it.

i know they're cheap, but the crunchy PAFs would actually match the wood really well.

i'm liking the body shape- can't wait to see how it ends up!

perspex?

i'm loving the top. great work!

The ZR is a great trem, the bigger problem is how thin the S is and how limited the pullup is. You'll run into the same problem trying to put a different trem into an S...virtually no pullup.

I know that OLP has used either Oak or Elm on one of their bass guitar models a few years back, but I cannot be certain. Go for it though, and post many pics!!!

they're elm. i happen to own one. amazing bass.

DI it, guitar>pedalboard>m-audio fast track USB>kristal with freeamp 2, the most amazing amp sim program ever.

as long as the wood is all dried, i see no problems.

and if you wanted to do a 1/4" skunk stripe, you could cut out a slot the right depth for the truss rod before you glue the laminates, and do a couple wraps of tape on each end just so it fits snugly.

i'll have to see if i actually still have it, and if i do, if i can find it. it was a while ago, and it got stuck on my workbench, which has gotten cleaned a couple times. i'll go check.

i belt sanded the top off.

EMGs have much lower output coils. this is then amplified beyond the point where passive pickups are. they do this for a few reasons, one of the bigger ones being less noise. i took one apart, it looked like it only had about half the normal number of windings.
