  1. Are you whizzing your boobs off on CA fumes yet @Andyjr1515?
  2. Were you a UHU rep in a former life that you can afford to cover a bass body in superglue?
  3. By Thor's hairy beard Smanth. Glad you're physically OK at lest, take your time over the trauma, don't try and rush things because everyone else thinks you should just woman up over it.
  4. Unglue the fretboard I fear. The new truss rod may be too big for the existing hole. A professional will be along in a bit to tell you I'm wrong
  5. Will that upper "horn" be strong enough, would a single cut be better? Just thinking aloud.
  6. "The best way to deal with complexity is give in to it." - Oscar Wilde. (Sort of)
  7. Nice. I don't hate tort.... Just tort and sunburst together
  8. No, it had even less body shape than that. Literally a length of plastic box section.
  9. Something rings a bell there about a beam body, like Twiggy, but made out of thick wall plastic box section with a headless neck some how grafted onto the front. I don't *think* it was on BC, put given the mad ideas that sometimes pop up it may have been. Probably elsewhere on the interwebz.
  10. I could be mean and ask whether you were any good at colouring in between the lines as a child, but I've got to extend the pickup holes on my t-bird-alike and they're going to be visible!
  11. I would have thought retractable frets activated by a little lever or motor wasn't beyond your skill set...
  12. I seem to remember you using it before? Isn't it a total **** to finish because the pores are gigantic or something equally difficult?
  13. If you haven't already, check out Mr. Jr1515s thread on how to hide almost everything behind the body. Psilos is the name of the bass.
  14. It lives! It's an interesting looking beastie certainly Given that you don't have a trussrod do you forsee a time when you end up with a banana or are you going to leave Twiggy thick enough not to need one? How playable is a neck that thick?
  15. And? Has anything important gone "Sproink" yet? Is Trampa playing it for you? Is it now an LCD multiscale fretless? Have you given up and called it firewood?
  16. He's a guy who modifies guitars and sells them on eBay. There are a few threads about him, look for seven string guitar conversions for sausage fingers. Threads about him get locked because the mocking turns personal so he just appears occasionally these days.
  17. He can't be, the tuners are still straight.
  18. What? Where's the build diary for that?
  19. Hmmmm. That kind of puts the kibosh on nicking the design of a Floyd Rose I think. Downward movement of up to 6 or 7 mm to tension the strings means the tailpiece height is going to be ridiculous.
  20. Yeahbbut, how much does it actually need? Could a slight downward movement a la the fine tuners be enough? I've no idea BTW, I'm designing/pontificating on the fly 😉
  21. The E string needs 5.4 mm of travel from slack to pitch?
  22. Elegant tuner on an inelegant back of envelope. Or...... how much movement does a tuner actually need, could you adapt the fine tuner mechanism on a Floyd Rose style trem to work?
