splund Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Hi All. Living in West Sussex Been playing bass for about 18 months now, started off as a mad ebay whim but has steadily grown into a way of life....almost It all started at a BBQ when a guitar friend of mine explained what a Humbucker was, that was it, I had to wind my own pickup, then build a guitar to play it. Made everything from scratch except the strings, tuners and bridge. I didnt get on with 6 strings, so gravitated (up) to 4 strings, happy bunny now Bob Quote
ped Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Hi Bob - would be very interested to see some pics of the home build. We have quite a few DIY enthusiasts here, too. Have a look in the 'Build Diary' forum. Cheers ped Quote
