Richard R Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Sounds excellent, here's hoping it works out! Three of my best friends from school all independently moved down that way. Nice part of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom in Dorset Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Once again I'm using piano frame bolts as strap buttons...proper chunky! Close up of knobs. I bought these in but will try making my own next time. Getting there... Every good project deserves a side project...

Si600 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 You kept the Tele secret. I do like a Flying V, are you going to diarise it somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sticking to basses while I'm here. The Tele was originally going to have a bought neck but it was crap so I decided to make one for it, hence the strings but no neck. I do have a facebook page (name change and website coming soon) I'll be doing a build diary for the V there. I'm just working on templates and jigs when other projects grind to a halt. https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Musical-Instrument-Store/Dominic-Allan-Bass-Guitars-697594160378026/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're desperate for content/community over there 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom in Dorset Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Ready for sea trials. I went for chrome knobs in the end. Contours (well one contour) Headstock waiting for a suitable decal ...watch this space... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Looking very good! You need a name and a logo for the headstock, especially once you start selling them. Something that references the origins. PianoForte in the Fender script perhaps? Or 88KeyBass? Bassendorfer?

It's on it's way... I just need to print it. I'm not limiting myself to basses and I won't just be using pianos but the emphasis will be on recycled materials. Website and decal should be ready in a day or two. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 You have my undying respect for what you're doing even if you do keep catching me out with that empty spoiler box in your signature file, you scamp you! I wish you every success with the venture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll remedy the situation if you can explain.😕 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll remedy the situation if you can explain. Everything below the underscore beneath the word "Quote" is your signature file. It appears at the end of each post you make to those members who select the option to see signature files. The bit I've circled in red is called a spoiler box. It hides its contents until the reader reveals them. In this case, yours is empty. To edit: Click on your user name at the top right of the page. Go to Account Settings and on the left of the page select Signature. From there you can edit your signature file.

Dom in Dorset Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Just to show that it doesn't have to be brown and slabby I'm making a guitar but with the veneer removed and the front face composed of blocks at 90 degrees to the centre line. I may do a build diary on guitarchat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
