[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1375305466' post='2159641'] The last two issues could be fixed by going for the fretless version though. [/quote] Surely with the 21 inch scale length, finding the right notes on a fretless would be a lot harder? I am actually going to build one soon, so I shall report back after

Ah okay I saw someone write about scraping before and I didn't know what it was.. but I get it now. Thank you

That would look very nice being the focus of attention. Quick, possibly silly question.. What were you using the scrape it?

Looks really good Good job!

Are you hand sanding this? If so, I do not envy you!

That looks wonderful!

Andi was kind enough to send me a sample of some Richlite for me to have a look at. Free of charge and refused to let me pay the postage. Would happily buy or sell him anything Thanks again!

They are looking goooood!

+1 to the above

Very nice guy sent me a bone nut free of charge! Would happily buy or sell anything with him

[quote name='Dolando' timestamp='1374960840' post='2155353'] Do you need to connect the control cavity and the pickup cavities with a wire or will the pickups connect them all up? [/quote] Yep and you need to connect the copper tape to the ground via a wire too It's looking amazing!

It's such a beautiful instrument!

Right took me agessss! But I'm done with it now. Who's next?

I've not bought this yet but have seen people recommend it before. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Electric-Guitar-Bass-Design-complete/dp/3000296425/ref=pd_sim_b_1

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1374668989' post='2151544'] Smashing, thanks Myke! Very kind. My email address is [email protected] [i][that address is public elsewhere, so spammers can join the queue! ][/i] [/quote] On it's way

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1374666821' post='2151488'] Cheers Myke. No, I'm not seeing a download link. I assume you mean the link is part of the 'frame' of the YouTube player, or it is further down the page itself? Could be the browser I'm using - Firefox 3.6.28 - which is fairly ancient but it's all I can run on the old dinosaur Mac at work! I'm also not logged in to YouTube, in case that makes a difference. Sounds like the download link is working anyway - I'll try it again when I get home using a more recent 'puter. [/quote] Ah okay. I can send it to you via WeTransfer if you'd like?

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1374665789' post='2151465'] Thanks mate. I'm probably being thick here... but how do I go about downloading the video? (without using one of the those dodgy Youtube Downloader sites!). Tried right-clicking on it but I'm not getting any options to save the file. [/quote] For me it says download mp4 underneath the video itself? I assume you don't have this?

Picture maybe?

I used to have my bass low so I practised standing up. No point learning something I couldn't play live. Now it's at almost the same place as when I'm sat so I do both now.

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1374433723' post='2148708'] Try it and find out they aren't for everyone. [/quote] Best way

That's Leland Sklar. I'm not sure of the bass but the guy is awesome!

And also just a little sneaky peak at it as a whole! [attachment=139589:WP_20130721_006.jpg] Bit faint but you get the jist (hopefully).

So today I attempted it. I still haven't figured out the break angle thing yet but I shaped it. It may be a bit on the high side still so I may sand it down lower and I intend to have the back sloped down a bit more. [attachment=139588:WP_20130721_005.jpg] Also it's a bit lopsided but not bad for a first attempt.

Mark sent me a set of Flatwound strings for free! I would have no difficulty buying or selling anything with MoJo. Thank you
