    [quote name='el borracho' timestamp='1498852579' post='3327619'] I've done a Stingray one with a hand jigsaw, hand drill, files and sandpaper - none of this modern electric stuff! Took ages but was quite satisfying - until I rushed the screw holes and drilled 3 of them in the wrong place - they still don't have screws in but nobody has ever noticed [/quote] You could saw the heads off some screws and glue them in place

    [quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1498808818' post='3327127'] Yes, carefully, but by just using a wood block with sandpaper held at an angle. Really close up you can see that it is nowhere near as perfect as a machine produced edge, but its pretty good, and good enough for me. No-one would ever tell the difference from a yard away. [/quote] Having seen (and bought) the results, I can vouch for this.

    Apologies for the long delay... It's not the easiest shape to measure, but my Duke is 970mm x 205mm x 70mm, or very close to it. So, sorry but I'm out :/

    I think our man kodiakblair may have an opinion here

    They don't seem to do a fretless one. I thought they did; discontinued, or is my shonky memory letting me down again?

    Marc's not the only one. I traded mine and shouldn't have.

    Just as a matter of interest, where do you get strings for these?

    Tempting, but I wouldn't play it GLWYS!

    I play my Ashbory with the fingerboard vertical and the headstock up by my left ear

    [quote name='Norris' timestamp='1496648507' post='3312857'] I keep my own teaspoon at work! As for removing the TRC, well I had my reasons (see avatar). The original is safely tucked away though [/quote] I tried that (the teaspoon, not the TRC). It lasted two days.

    Do you need anything below D? if not, then depending on your string tension you might find you can get away with retuning DGCF.

    I've no idea why this is still here. Weird.

    Hm... I have too many basses. But my aunt lives near Llangollen. What to do?...
  20. alyctes
    Okay, that sale might still fall through...

    [quote name='PawelG' timestamp='1496355721' post='3310861'] "Double bass" - title "Good condition double bass with 2 drawers" - description 4 pictures of double bed :-) [/quote] Ahhh... light dawns. Thank you

    [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1495817006' post='3306866'] Jazzhacker scales & modes fur 6 string bass was bought last night. £3.12 wie £2 credit back fae Amazon. It'd been wrong no tae buy it [/quote] Indeed. But I doubt the tuning would work for me - that seems to use guitar tuning. I'd rather stick with the fixed interval. (One of my guitarists has a Yamaha 6er, tuned in Guitarish. Can't do a thing with it. ) Edit: Okay, my mistake... It looks like he's borrowed the format from his Guitar ebook, and forgotten to change the sentence about "standard tuning". The actual charts are against BEADGC tuning.
