As always your builds look gorgeous!! I’d be really interested in getting your opinion on a flat board as I’m think of doing one on my Neck Thru build............👍

If I’m right in thinking please correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the 60 1/2 designed to be used mostly on end grain because of the low angle of the blade I’ve got both and over the years I’ve had Stanley and the Irwin equivalents which are cheaper and in my opinion just as good!! But I prefer the 9 1/2 as it seems to work better on the face or sides of the timber.........😀

Cheers Gents!! I think your right no control looks better.......👍

Here’s the new decal I think it looks a lot better......... But my dilemma is now with or without the control plate ...........🤔

Sorry I meant to put asked

Both really also @SpondonBassed called it steampunk style but it’s not really so we were trying to think what style it’s actually called ie barncaster, rustic, fake barrel top etc..........🤔

I think I’m going to do this decal but it’s going to be bigger than the others...........🤔

I said be nice!! There’s no need for that kind of language!!😀

How about a....... Rusticaster or a Barrelcaster Bass?

It does doesn’t it I reckon it will catch on ha ha Your good with names what style would you call it?? (Be nice tho!!.....😜)

I don’t really know how about ‘fake barrel top-ish barncaster-ish rustic-ish’ style??? .........🤨

No need to be sorry mate everyone is entitled to their own opinion! but I see what you mean about it being sanded back then the decal applied I think I need to do it again but danish oil it first and I’m not 100% sure about the decal anyway so it might change again I’m thinking a bit less busy maybe like this And by the way this is steampunk!! Which is not my cup of tea at all!!.....👍

I decided in the end I didn’t like the Jameson fake branding so I’ve changed it This is now called ‘Lucky 13’.........😀

Nice touch!! that’s exactly the same reason why I put ‘Brash’ on the headstocks of my builds (my kids Bradley and Ashden)..........👍

Pickups are now in on ‘Ole Smokey’ I’ll solder them up later this evening...........😀

The effects pedal is finally finished!! it’s got a nice range from slight break up to full on Overdrive I tried using a bass but it definitely sounds better through guitar instead The kids are in bed now so I’ll try and post some sound clips when I get time another day I’m getting the bits together to do a Analog Delay and a Axis Fuzz/Octave Up (2 independent circuit but In the same box)......😀

I don’t normally like coloured burst bodies but that look really good!! 👍

I’ve started trying to use recycled wood as you can’t get much more eco friendly than that maybe it’s to offset my carbon footprint as I drive a transit for work and have a Ford Ranger as my own vehicle I better watch out I don’t have people gluing themselves to my front door 😬

Oooohh can’t wait!! Your African build is my favourite one out of all the basses you’ve done...........😀

This body shape is interesting and by that I mean AWFUL!!!!! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F164043419861

Number 2 I reckon........👍

I’ve never seen a black foot switch before all of them that I’ve seen are Chrome/Nickel I’ll have a look about..........👍

I tried the logo in red and blue but it just didn’t look good I think monochrome was definitely a better choice! I remembered I had some waterslide decal paper so I printed it off last night and have just applied it to the pedal just got to clear coat it tomorrow. I think it looks good if I do say so myself!!..........😀 Now the quandary is do I fit black knobs or chrome ones?? The foot switch is chrome so I’m leaning more towards chrome at the mo??

I could solder before I made it but YouTube has somebody good tutorials on it If you get a PCB they make your life easier because it’s basically soldering by number but you have to source all the components Pedalparts.co.uk has some great PCBs or you can buy full kits as well from them.........😀

Thanks but I think the shipping costs would make it a bit too expensive If you don’t mind could you ask him how much he would charge to do me a couple of headstock logos in black and white and a pedal top I can send the logo and graphic to you if it makes it easier?
