Then you could bind the inside of the pickup cavities... Fortunately you haven't got a neck pocket...

Wot they sed. It's your bass though, so do it how you want it

A couple of straight edges of varying lengths. Set of chisels. Bench plane. All the gubbins for fretting. Saw rasp or the like.

I didn't realise Maserati made radius blocks.

Black. Or... Steve Harris mirror? It's not quite the right blue, but...

Channeling your inner He Who Shall Not Be Named guitar converter?

I like it. I think it should be on guitarchat just to get the site traffic and content up, but I still like it.

Carve it out from the back like the Psilios bass...

Shouldn't a Gheetar build be on Gheetarchat?

Reverse multi scale Flying V 5er with P, J, MM and Thunderbird pickups. V, T and micro switches to control the pickups. To be honest, I think that would actually be horrible, more nightmare than dream.

That is a beautiful lump of wood. How easy is it to work with?

I thought you were going for one-upmanship and having 4...

I imagine they would. It may mess up the dryness of your body wings though.

Aww, you've made a pair of Nessies

I do have more space than just a bench you know. Obvs I put the tools somewhere else until they had a home to go to. Still the Once and Future Twerp.

No.... I bought tools to use but had to use them to make the storage thingy for the tools I'd bought because there's so much other clutter on the bench that the tools took up the rest of the available working space. Ich bin kein deutscher. Twerp

It's varnished, does that help?

I had a bit of white wood for the heels of the planes to sit in, until I realised it was too small and used the oak. When working it, it smelt of machine oil, or at least, engineering machine shops if that makes any sense. Does anyone have any ideas what it might be? It was lovely to work, and smell

It's a B3n. Looking at the questions I may be after rocking horse poop! Phat, presence, heft whatever Just something to fill out a trio. If a smidge of warble from the octaver or a smidge of dirt is enough but subtle then I'll try that.

Do any of you fine fellows have a suggestion of what to add to a patch to get more presence to a tone? A bit more plump of heft just to fill out a three piece, especially when the guitar goes off on a solo and we lose the chords? It was in here, or maybe in the forum linked where there was the suggestion of an octaves, but that adds a growl to my clean sound that I don't want.

Dun stuff.

Sounds exactly like jazz.

You weren't soft enough, the monkey escaped

Make one out of metal then... It'll only be good for jazz mind, and you'll need a stand to play it on.

I've just been to their website to have a look, they aren't reasonably cheap, they are cheap! €116 for a strat with all the hardware and scratchpad is a steal. Fair enough for ignoring the slight flaws. I was expecting a kit to be somewhere in the £300 range. Or I've been looking at Warmouth custom options too often
