    So the saddles at the extremes with the foremost on the scale length is to allow for any minor wobbles in the measuring/build process?

    I'm going to do the Er... thing again. If the top E saddle is all the way forward and at the scale length then won't there be no adjustment forward? Or is intonation always longer than the scale? That idea then doesn't work with the bottom E being all the way back. Or is it the average and the two extremes straddle the scale length to allow for adjustment? On your common or garden Fender BBOT, where would you place that? Stunning guitar and workmanship again. You couldn't get it "lost" in the post could you? 😜

    RGB colour changing LEDs. Genius.

    I thought so, here's mine. Feel free to find the sparkling it up thread, it's about six years old or something by now though Found it, six years? Ha, and the rest. Posted in 2012. 😳🙄

    Excellent diary El Generalissimo Teebles. Which model Aria Pro II ist that? I think I've got one in blue.

    Doesn't really work does it, as we're all at home and Jez builds his basses at home anyway. "Ho hum", said Pooh Or if you read it in the original Latin, '"hous humus", dixi Pooh'

    Just go mad. Go big or go home 😉

    And it gives you cancer in California. Steer well clear!

    I suspect that the snipped corner is to attempt to circumvent any copyright issues. It's really obviously a Thunderbird anyway, but that may be enough difference to stop the lawyers sending "Da Boyz" round. What's the quality of the body like? I'm thinking of getting one for my weird T-bird project as no-one seems to be selling any second hand T-bird bodies at the moment. Customs and shipping costs could make it a teensy bit expensive though.

    An interesting arrangement by the string clamp. Is that two nuts or a nut and a zero fret? Or a nut and an extremely scalloped first fret? 😉

    No more than the next average human. Seeing as the bench is only 2m long, and the current vice is in the middle, I can envisage an elbow/cast iron interface at some point if I put the other vice on the front. It's only held on with two bolts, so not the end of the world to move it when using the new one.

    I'm considering mounting a flush woodworking vice to my bench, on the short edge on the corner, see pictures! Obviously the existing leg will have to be changed for something suitable. The question is I suppose, is there any reason I shouldn't? I don't have space for a second bench at the moment, and the engineers vice will get in the way of any planing elbows if I put it on the long face.

    Spondz has occasionally some genius ideas, and equally frequently a lot to answer for 😉 I'm intrigued by Appliance White as a colour though.

    Sorry to hear that you've been unwell, I was just wondering where you'd got to the other day. In principle it's no worse than Andy chambering Harry's Harley Benton... Apart from the magnitude increase in the cost of the bass in the first place and the quality of the instrument. I'm glad that Martin agreed to take it on for you so that you can keep your favourite instrument. All the best with your health and stay away from this pesky virus!

    And why doesn't it pop the fretboard off?
  16. Si600
    That @Andyjr1515, he's such a card 😉

    Mirror. I don't think that the clear one has enough pizzazz with those sparkles.

    Feature. Do all of your crown inlays rectangular at twelfth and above and it can be your thang along with flocks of swifts. I'll flock off back to the garden now, though it's a bit cold out, so I won't be out for much longer!

    Network Rail would possibly disagree with you on that.

    Will it be close enough to the strings through the scratchplate?

    I think we should all make voluteless instruments from now on, just to put HWSRN off his morning toast and marmelade

    Interesting point. I would have expected that as they would have done everything by knife and not router the chips would be bigger and less likely to be digested, also any sanding would be done with either stones or handfuls of sand which would retain the dust. Someone must have done a study on it by now!

    Oi, Andy! NO!! Guitar builds belong on Guitarchat. It'll keep Kiwi and Ped happy anyway 😉
