I agree - I removed the shine from appropriate areas, rolled the edges and chipped some varnish off some end grain it’s enough

How ? Yer man is very dead

Hung like a marmoset ...

If you ever came to sell that ....

I got all I needed from the title plus the nature of the link I’m formulating a list of “questikns” though

Pearl ?

See my build thread - darker primer gives a more yellow top coat. White primer gives blinding white.

I did vintage white in nitro beware your choice of undercoat colour I used dark grey on advice from here

Send it back ! What clown has been botching that up .... ?

Some necks need a long time to relax so be gentle Leigh Gordon’s mex jazz that I bought had a neck like a banana and took ages to come back to the land of playable

I use those thin plastic inserts that come in Next multi-sock packs just cut to size. Thin, durable, don’t squash much and you can glide them into place by just loosening the neck a little - around 0.7mm thick

They are, but no on these models or on many jap reissues

Fender Precision - String Through or Bridge Stringing ?
Geek99 replied to Andy69's topic in General Discussion
Given that he never changed his strings and used a foam mute I think any difference in sustain in his case would be negligible his was a 62 which I think is not string thru - correct me if I’m wrong -

🍿 time .... I think lozz had the best answer; it’s easier to change strings. Otherwise imho the difference is negligible -
You did it for valid good reasons, not just aesthetic ones

Now you’ve totally gone and f cking spoiled it

He doesn’t always play root notes, listen to “please” and “bad” but sometimes that’s just what Is needed and we as bass players should not shy away from that as if we were guitards...

Yes my partner for one. She cannot see A difference except that “that ones a bit bigger”
-
I look at your angled neck transition there (which you wouldn’t see on a fender) and I’m reminded of the story about the designer of the spitfire putting the chord on the wing joint simply because it looked right rather than for any objective engineering reason at all
-
You’ve picked the wrong wood ... you want some of that lighter wood you’ve used for the body it might make a nice coaster though (for a kidney dish) 😛

See my build thread for paulownia - total nightmare, not just grain filler but also paint
-
Your ears will tell you if it’s wrong. There’re are no rules as far as I can tell besides if it sounds right then go with it, if it doesn’t it’s probably jazz

Never made that distinction of slightly Just underrated is enough
