franzbassist Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hello all I want to give the board on my bass a light sand but need to get the right sanding block. I assume it'll be 9.5" radius but can anyone confirm this? Cheers Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if it was a 7.5".

[/quote] Wouldn't that be 7.25"? 7&1/4" in old money Here's one I made earlier , an old bank card makes a nice workable gauge.

franzbassist Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 The radius template worked a treat, and it looks like it is 7.25" after all. Thanks for all the help people. Just need to deal with the ski jump choking the notes between the 17th and 19th frets now: sanding block anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
