Thanks for all the tips everyone, although I'm not sure about rubbing my nuts on it, unless the guitarist asked to have a go on it. 😁 I think I will just try an be patient. -
That's what I was thinking John, most woods do darken when exposed to daylight. Trouble is, I'm not a very patient person. 🤔

I've just purchased a lovely Lakland USA bass, but the previous owner put sticky tape on the side of the neck so he could see better in low lighting. Unfortunately, after removing the tape, it has left pale patches where the tape was, so how do I go about getting the neck to look even again, will I need to take all the original finish off and refinish it, or is there something I can use to just blend the pale patches in? I believe Lakland finish the necks with oil.

+1 for My Sharona, especially Phil X & The Drills version, they seem to cover a song and improve it in many cases.

Thanks for the advice so far, as someone who is just starting out in guitar making, all advice is very much welcome. I have reasonable DIY and woodworking skills but I know it will take time, and a few pink torpedo-ups along the way, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.

You just have! 😉 Seriously though, I'm no expert by any means, I just thought that any wood that can be used to make a musical instrument sound good, could be classed as a tonewood. This is just going to be a hobby for me in my retirement, so to start off, I would be looking for the usual suspects like alder, swamp ash, mahogany etc, if I'm able to turn out some half-decent creations, then I might move on to more exotic woods.

I'm in the process of equipping my garage out with all the necessary equipment to build basses from scratch, any suggestions for good quality tonewood suppliers wood be very much appreciated.

Are there any BassChatters who make Custom Scratchplates?

Sounds like the place to go 👍 -
I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to home recording and I'm wondering whether I should plug straight into the audio interface, or should I Di into the audio interface? Up until now, I normally plug straight into the interface with pretty good results, but I'm wondering what you more experienced guys out there normally do.

Thanks for the heads up, but I've already pulled the trigger on Barefaced ONE10t

Kyle purchased my Boss FV-500H pedal and it was a very easy and pleasant transaction. Cheers Kyle.

Chris purchased a Shure SM57 from me, very easy and pleasant transaction. Cheers.

Chris bought a Blu-Ray player from me, such an easy transaction. Cheers!

Yes that's what I'm thinking, I especially liked the feel of the necks on the American Standard series
-
Just to clarify, my preference is for either a satin or nitro finish, a 9.5 radius, not too chunky, and medium jumbo frets.
-
Thanks, that's really helpful.

Judging by both your comments, it would seem that I would not get on with the MIM necks, I do love a nice smooth finish, I definitely don't like gloss, and nice rolled edges are a must for me.
-
I really like the feel and playability of Fender USA jazzes, but I've never played a MIM jazz bass, so I'm wondering how the necks play and feel compared to the USA necks? I know we all have different opinions, but it would be interesting to know your thoughts.

Lakland USA 44-64 PJ with 1.5” nut - *SOLD*
thebrig replied to Quatschmacher's topic in Basses For Sale
I'm afraid not, I had a USA Bob Glaub not so long ago, and whilst it was absolutely fantastic to play, I really wanted a straight P bass with no J pickup. Yours looks like a lovely bass, and there's no doubt that Lakland basses are right up there with the best. GLWTS -
Thanks Phil, I read the thread with great interest, and have come to the conclusion that although I think I might have the skills to build a pretty decent cab, I don't think I have enough understanding of the physics involved to get the best from whatever I attempt to build, so I've decided to get a Barefaced ONE10t with the tweeter.

Thanks, will do

I'm thinking about building a 1x10" Cab to go with my Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 head, mainly for home use, but maybe the occasional small gig if it's up to it. I have the DIY skills, but not sure what type of speaker I should use with 900 watts, 4ohm or 8ohm? All advice will be very much appreciated. Thanks.
