[quote name='iiipopes' timestamp='1348802651' post='1818494'] ....... a Rickenbacker-style capacitor to the bridge pickup to cut lows,....... [/quote] this sounds interesting... Do you have anymore information on the matter?

Nice design. Im liking the lower bout contour.

Ah, I was wondering why you wanted a second brass one, maybe some sort of not wanting to use the original incase it broke.... Ive got bone blanks too. Can knock one of those up easy. You already have ma details.

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1348516434' post='1814719'] Sounds great, PM me your address and I'll send you the original brass one to size match (I just found it after a lengthy search through the parts drawer, it was right at the bottom!). Very generous of you. What do you mean by brass slug?, sorry, excuse my dumbness!! [/quote] A slug is how a material is supplied to a manufacturer before they work with it, like a blank. Heres a picture of it anyway

The cost would not be as unviable as you might think. I do it mostly for fun, so chuck in a couple bob atop p&p. The brass slug i have i found at work, so no costs there.

Ive got a brass slug about the correct thickness for a nut (just give yours a quick measure, the slug is barely over 3mm), and having made a few bone nuts before (my resume, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/138446-homemade-bass-bone-nut/page__p__1337438__hl__bone%20nut__fromsearch__1#entry1337438"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/138446-homemade-bass-bone-nut/page__p__1337438__hl__bone%20nut__fromsearch__1#entry1337438[/url]) i could produce one for you. Awesome build btw....

I removed a vintage (brand) logo from a headstock. It did leave a shadow, so i kept sanding until it was barely noticable. I was like "huh" after removing the actual logo and seeing it...

Got some more shaping done, and the cutout is pretty much there too! Shaping the top horn: Bit more shaping: Doing the cut out, using a pillar drill and jigsaw: Rasping it to size: And ready for routing: And mocked up:

anyone got one with radio knobs???

what about coil splitting the MM pickup? or is that already on the cards.....

yes we are!!!!
