    Silky999 posted a topic in Build Diaries

    The latest bit of wood is bought and drying in preparation for a future build; a lovely bit of Lebanese Cedar that smells gorgeous.

    I think you are right. I’m such a silly goose…….I have changed the advert. I think they are big singles.
  6. Silky999
    I think basically that is the upshot of it. I can’t imagine it will be that different for bass amps. You should watch his one on tonewood as well.

    Screw holes now countersunk!

    I am going to go nylon bearings to line the holes. Thanks for the heads up about the retro vibe tuners

    I have used Guyker tuners a few times before and I really rate their stuff. If they bring out a 1/2 lightweight tuner that would be amazing. It’s difficult to get a wide selection of tuners that fit an 18mm hole without some sort of bushing or them being jazz bass type. I have also heard people have used nylon bearings to good effect.

    Folks, Just a heads up that the 18mm adapters for USA 1/2” ultralites are getting harder and more expensive to source. I have just bought some tuners from Lozz on here and thought I would get some adapters in as I have before for previous builds. Whether it is Trump’s Tariffs or just supply issues but they are impossible to source in the UK and I was left with two options; direct from USA costing $70 to ship alone or order from Germany at €36 including shipping. Bear in mind that these are normally £5 each from Bassdirect so max of £20-plus shipping. I think I will have to rethink my tuner choices on builds going forward.

    I don’t have a csk small enough at moment so will order one

    It was a company called Vinyl Revolution in Oxford. This was in 2020. I had a Quick Look for them now and I have a horrible feeling they might have gone out of business as their website doesn’t work and nothing posted on FB since 2023. https://studio997.co.uk/art-and-objects/vinyl-wrap-a-guitar/ seem to have wrapped a guitar before. It might be worth dropping them an enquiry. I have never used them but they might be a good starting point for an idea of costs and process etc.
