PaulThePlug Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) Any trouble with strings? Check the speaking length... Couple of old sets i had kicking about would not fit as the extra length behind the bridge sadles to the ball end block meant the thinner peg windings of the string wasn't over the nut but halfway on the 1st fret. Choose wisely @Bassfinger... Edited July 25, 2022 by PaulThePlug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 I guess I'll know soon enough! I've a few old sets I can try for fit before spending cash. Meanwhile, I've been working on the shielding. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Tried painting the headstock, but bring the perfectionist that I am wasn't happy with the result. So went carbon instead. Should provide a nice contrast to the white truss rod cover. Once the glue is dry I can finish sanding the edges.

Bassfinger Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Fear not, I've not forgotten, it's just that its been fearsomely hotmin the workshop this week so haven't done anything further. But the imminent arrival of the relatively cooler weather will bring some more progress, taking things perilously close to being finished.
