Richard R Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Sorry about all the hard returns. Only on BC on my phone do I get this problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralf1e Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Sorry to be so late with this. One of the ways we used to do this kind of stuff is make a rectangular former and cut a hole the size needed and burn the thing to size with the heated former. In your case a scrap end to the tuner in question. Edited January 31, 2023 by Ralf1e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I launched into a new thread where I though it might get a bit more traction. When it is all said and done, I am sure he will be happy enough to make them for others as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 Here are the 5 finished ones. They are made out of rosewood. I have yet to actually get my hands on them and fit them so time will tell. But he does have one of the machine heads so I presume they will be fine. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 On reflection, they are actually made out of ebony. The next ones will be rosewood for a different bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 I forgot to post final pictures. Such an amateur. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 That truss rod cover (which I never look at) is aesthetically displeasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
