Nice... when i drilled the neck, i had it in the pocket... used a drill that was a good fit in the body hole to start, just the pointy bit, just to center tip for the hole, and kind of counter sink the neck at the start... then worked out the depth and put electrical tape as a flag, then more tape around the drill shank to pack out, using the body holes as a jig to get the hole on the neck vertical... or at least aligned and centered to the body holes... and less likely for the drill bit to wander, if the dowl is harder or softer you got hold of a pillar drill which may help, but may need some sort of rest to keed the neck flat... I used a simple whirrly hand drill to go by feel. Pics n keep it coming...

Three Times Enough - Nine Below Zero

Unable to collect, but if it really is getting slung, I could use the tuners?...

Love the chair...

Thanks All The No Nonsense Danish Oil i got from Screwfix is quite clear... just brings out the grain a bit, maybe making the wood look a little warmer, rather than give much in the way of tint. Gonna make an effort and get on with it next week...

Yep Natural in Danish Oil... Chrome it is then... First thoughts. Style over Fashion...

@EJWWThanks... My First Budget Bitsa Build... Still needs neck n body sanding and oil finishing, don't come much simpler...

^ There is always one... Sandwich?.. Ham, Cheese or Jam?... NO! i haven't got any Tuna! 😉

All Simple style... Chrome matches the hardware and is familiar... Full meaty Dome to go with the Curve of the meaty high mass ish bridge... Strat Hat is Fender Family and a classic, but maybe a little out of place on a bass... I like the Big Volume and Small Tone of the Jazz, but on the P?..

The Jazz knobs are covering the body holes...

A change from the 'Which Scratchplate?' this Bank Holiday's dilema is 'Which Knob?' Initialy it was a nice weighty Vanson Chrome full Dome as a modern take on the classic P style, Then after i decided on Cream Pickup covers, Got Strat n Jazz knobs in cream.

From reading some of the above... Loud Gigs, Riding Bikes and Wind Roar, I now where foam plugs... and more recently Music mostly via Headphones... I get a more a low freq boom type resonance... than a high pitch ringing or buzzing or hissing. I wear earplugs to sleep although you can hear the sounds within your head, air and fluid etc, ticking clocks, central heating coming on, idleing cars, a fan, snoring wife... anything like that drives me mad! Recent change in headphones has shown a reduced volume in my left ear, even swapping the headphones round. Tried a few on line hearing and headphone freq tests, This thread has now prompted me now over 50 to book a free hearing test st specsavers, just to see (or hear!)

Hello...

I like the Adagio Flats for a budget £13... So there rounds may be worth a go... or the Olympia's...

Stones on Beeb 2...

Huge Hawkwind fan... well up to the mid 80's stuff... Such a classic album, so fluid and moving texture... Is the Space Ritual Remastered worth getting, is it that much better than the earlier 2 cd release?

Can't begin to think how Mick, Kieth and Ronnie are feeling...

Yep... but they are usually quite thin... 😉

Never Mind The Butter... Can't Belive It's not Bollocks...

@Velarian Any joy on the neck hole dowling?

@MaudeDidnt you have a Cruiser By Crafter P on the go?

Think @Reggaebass had something similar a while back... thru neck... and those fret markers jog my memmory - brass? Found It...

Always been a fan of the Japs... #Nori41
