You are most welcome. Although I have got Lee's YT page bookmarked, I liked that I could go from here to YT specifically for these clips and download them rather than endure the inline advertising. It was nice to have the shortcut since Lee never slowed down in his delivery of informative and entertaining vids. Quite the reverse in fact. Workaholic tendencies were rumoured and now we've seen first hand how he dedicates himself to whatever he's doing. I'm hoping he's either done his hot rod Show and Tell (mentioned in one of the links above) or is about to. That car looks the biz. See you elsewhere on the forum NoirBass. Cheers and many happy returns for the day.

Welcome Alfie.

Have they been nicking the bin liners for casual nookie again? Tsk. Pesky pachyderms.

I'm thinking that this bit is where the cheaper guitar bodies tend to have skimped on. It must take a significant portion of the overall labour time in the project.

Reminds me of the day I got detention as a six year old. I got in a fight with another six y/o over who got to go first in a queue or something equally trivial. I shoved him into the ink cupboard. The cupboard door recoiled and the contents, several bottle of Quink, came tumbling out and spilt their contents on the wooden floor. Our punishment was to clean the floor. It was as in a nightmare... the more we wiped at the spill the more it seemed to spread until we were rescued by the school caretaker. Afterwards, the bits of floor where the varnish had been worn by countless little feet carried a stain just like the one you've worked on so hard! Beautiful, it was. It may well still be there in Olney Primary School (as was in 1968). It's not the way to refinish a bass though. I like your method much better. Great work! It looks lovely.

Ready sawn kerfings? Handy.

Welcome Johnny.

Welcome Velarian.

I know you like a UBass so I'll go with the flow and say U-bend.

Now you understand why I like a volute, especially on a headless bass.

Musical interlude:

Excision Bass (Works best if you make a heart-shaped hole through the body).

Decision Bass

Incision Bass?

Sheesh. Distinction Bass then?

These. They look like you might see them better under difficult lighting.

Concise Bass.

I knew it had to be but I also noticed a distinct lack of knob gags on this build. It's looking fine. I wish you many years of use out of it.

Er... How did you get your knob to go through that eyelet? (I'm on about the handle.)

Welcome Warren.

I'll wager that ^this^ is inaccurate. Tigers would starve during the monsoon season just for the sake of a weak lyric that substitutes whet for wet in a cheap pun. Naughty Bonzo's. Be kind to tigers. You'll have nothing to shoot at if they all starve.

Welcome Goldie. You will find the resources to help you here. In fact you will probably bankrupt yourself within the year, such is the choice of gear here. GAS* is a bugger. *Gear Addiction Syndrome

I was glad to see the back of old twice nightly. He looked really sinister.
