[QUOTE=Polyamarous]Your J p-up seems very close to the bridge, closer than normal, but maybe its harder to tell with the ashtray, what mak is the bass anyway.[/QUOTE]
The closer the better, as long as you can raise it up high enough.

SOM, do you actively take on projects?

Looks good mtttsnb. What brand is that bass and do you have pics ofit as a whole? I've gotten a body that looks like that one for which I'm going to build a new neck. Thanks.

thats cool.

is that a beer holder in there?

it's a little too big for a can. I tell people it's a handle, like a Jem.

i find it ironic that the shirt says ' teenage millionares club ' on it

All part of the joke perhaps?

And yeah, the Bogner KILLS.

hey whats best on a defretted neck? like to cover the wood, i know theres a search, but im that lazy

epoxy resin, usually

epoxy will make the fret board kinda hard and a little clack sounding. id go with cyanoacrylate...

what is that exactly and where would one go about aquiring it?

haven't gotten started yet... plus i have no money.. but!!!

i'm planning on modding a floyd rose bridge to put on my new LTD (maybe i'll get another bass to **** up X-D)

umm... i think it's been done my Les Claypool... but i'm not exactly sure. or if anyone else has done it

but i figure i'll keep you guys posted on my progress (if any :/ )

might be until after new years until i can get any progress (considering the no money problem and being a typical teenage boy procrastination is the word), but in the mean-time, it's just a thought

DO NOT DO THAT... claypool used a bass tremlo. youd probably end up destroying the floyd rose and more than likely your bass. if you want to be like claypool get a kahler bass tremolo.

took ages
cost a fortune

spec's :- 24 fret neck, 2 piece ash body with poplar top, 1 unnamed humbucker, 1 kent armstrong humbucker, 1 quadrail mother bucker, single/series/parallel switching on each pickup, individual on/off switches, 1 volume control.
bi-colour led's blue/yellow (never again).
floyd rose bridge

surprisingly, it played really well as soon as it was put together, with little adjustment needed to the neck relief or intonation.

oh yeah, painted with halfords 'appliance white' paint


and for my next project, go here [url]http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?p=13536902&posted=1#post13536902[/url]

wow, that is a fu[COLOR="Black"]ck[/COLOR]ing beast for hand made

that came out prett ynice looking, pups look real busy ina good way thoo

That's beast nig.

haha, that guitar makes me laugh.

because of all the swiches, and the clearness. pretty cool tho, how you made it all and shaped it and what not.

dunno if i posted this in here or not, but hey, i drilled some holes, and changed some stuff. namely the dimarzio tone zone in the bridge
[IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h103/thdilmc/DSCF0067.jpg[/IMG]
that writing isn't actualy still on there, thats just the only picture i have right now

I'm considering building my own custom as my next guitar.

basically:

-Carvin 7 string through-body neck [url]http://www.carvin.com/products/single.php?ItemNumber=NT7&CID=GTR/K[/url]
- Mahogany wings (maybe a strat shape)
-quilt maple veneer on the body, and headstock
-possibly ivory binding
-string through bridge
-dimarzio pups
-locking tuners


now the colour, a light transparent blue. Almost similar to like a PRS royal blue.

secks y/n?

22 Frets Jumbo frets.
Gotoh chrome tuners

im currently refinishing this now since this had a lousy finish. Also had it reshaped. POst it as soon as im done.[/QUOTE]


I want to do this, only make the guitar lefty and model it after a Gibson Flying V (for the more 'classic' look) ... and then get a Marshall Mini Stack with that Bogner head.

It'd be fun to have all my gear be miniaturized.

i actually did more work on it
right now (as in RIGHT now) i'm ebonizing it
a week or so ago i put in abalone inalys instead of the white plastic dots

All of these were hand built by me. No premade necks or bodies.

Hey guys, here's a guy who's guitar designs you might like. They look like nice guitars and probably pretty good in self defense situations too :)
