Someone needed to ban scat.

Welcome Guillaume.

That must mean I get a go on it when it's finished!

Cool!

Get someone to write down the saxophone score from Dance of the Cuckoos and ask him to play it.

Yeah. Flipperty Gibbert! I mean; what's wrong with stringing it from the house to the back fence FFS?

Welcome Kevin.

Welcome to the forum.

Young man, you're too burley whirly.

I like that a lot better. Simple = reliable and easy to fix if things go wrong.

Then what finish will be on the surface that the shuttle slides upon? I'm just thinking that a single screw thread might allow the shuttle to bind with some finishes if it is even slightly out of alignment with its guide channel. Twin screw threads would help but they would also ruin a simple and effective idea because they'd have to be connected so as to turn in unison.

What sort of linear bearings will the shuttle run on? I'm assuming plain from your diagram.

I think someone mentioned above. Reward yourself with an upgrade when you've achieved something significant with your current bass. I only bought my first pedal last year. I played a bit in the eighties and then took it back up less than ten years ago. You'll be fine.
