Drilling accurately with a spade bit is not easy, even using a pillar drill. Having 3 or more cutting edges makes it much more stable and less likely to wander

Well I've just got around to listening to the rest of the podcast this evening, and I must say - what a fabulous effort by all concerned! The Chowny interview was lengthy but very engaging. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to hear more about CITES from a manufacturer's point of view. I do feel slightly embarrassed at how my questions dominated the Q&A so much, but am pleased that they instigated some excellent discussion . Hopefully there might be a few more contributors next time The pedal demo, and discussion of the analogue vs digital thread were also brilliant. 2 hours did seem a bit daunting at first, but it actually flew past. I'm looking forward to the next one. Well done, and a big thank you!

I always liked the name that I came up with for our Pink Floyd tribute - Wish You Were Floyd. Unfortunately we never got to gig before it all folded

You'd be playing open notes all the time so you could fondle it!

Actually yes, a rivet post would be about the right size. Good thinking that man!

I'm a bit disappointed. The D'Addario tuner I bought a couple of years ago has broken. The actual tuner is compact, accurate and a doddle to use. Unfortunately that's no use when the clip has broken. The hinge pins are part of the plastic clip and have sheared off. I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle of drilling it out and fitting a decent metal hinge pin or whether to just bin it

Looking less of a carbuncle now - nice

You wouldn't want that to fall off its stand!

It's very hard to keep an eye on the match while you're looking at the mirror practicing your bass face, stance and killer moves! Actually I don't practice anyway. We have enough gigs usually that I don't really feel like picking it up in between

I'm sure a year or two ago someone did a build thread where they covered the bass in old comics. Looked great.

You could leave it like that, slightly raised, as a feature.

Ah. I didn't realise it was adjustable:)

Wouldn't it have been easier to sand 3mm off the nut?

A good, free introduction to CAD is inkscape. I've used it quite a bit for designing various bits of guitars. https://inkscape.org/en/ CAM is a slightly more involved subject, but you can use software to convert your inkscape files into a suitable format and then add the depth information for CNC milling. Not wanting to detract from BC, but ProjectGuitar.com have a forum dedicated to computer aided manufacture that contains a wealth of information

Well engineered + beautiful aesthetics = gorgeous!

Did you manage to try it with the 2x10 cab? That's what is in the V3 combos and I certainly wouldn't describe it as anaemic

On my 80s Aria the batteries would definitely discharge at different rates. One would last for months and months, the other only about 6 weeks. A quick "tip of the tongue" test identified which was which, until I eventually wrapped a small piece of gaffa tape round the lead of the one that needed changing most frequently

That's wrong on so many levels

We'll do pretty much any request as long as it's from the 20th century. Any requests for Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, etc. receive a good telling off

It's where my luthier guru gets his from

Do you cut your own inlays? If not I can heartily recommend Small Wonder Music. He did an excellent job on mine and very reasonably priced I thought for the work involved

Excellent!

Three is the magic number - or at least that's what De La Soul would have you believe

Neck carving is the best bit, and over too soon

I'll take a decent quality black T-shirt with the logo tastefully placed over the left moob. And/or a decent black zipped hoodie with a larger logo emblazoned across the back. Socks could be quite popular too for the suited day jobs amongst us
