Dang. I sat next to his (supposed) nephew in the 6th grade.

Done with my Loog adventures, made one a duclimer, the other a Thai Phin. They're both super fun and useful too, and for sale :cigar:

These guys drink a magic grain alcohol potion that is the key to hot phin (3 string Thai instrument) licks: I've been biding my time converting these Loog kid guitars, the acoustic is now a dulicmer-tar and the Loogcaster is now an electric phin (pronounced 'pin')

Years ago I bought a similar year rescue J bass from the nephew of a lady who used to play it at her church, it was pristine except for the same (blocked maple fretboard) neck issue (and a dead pickup). The truss rod on mine was toast and the neck was bowed. I had a couple of reputable luthiers...

Some ideas for sure, nothing I've acted upon. While looking up ideas for Loogs I found this guy making some nice things https://www.berneluthier.fr/boutique/12-basses Me and a buddy are collaborating a bit while we're unemployed.. Nothing to see here :cigar:

The fretboards are really light, possibly lighter than the wood @Dark Horse posted above. I'm using wood veneers so I might give the Traslucent stuff a whirl.

I've been practicing filling fret slots on 2 different necks with some veneer, i.e. going fretless. Looking for glue recommendations. So far I've used a 2 step CA glue (Loctite) and regular Titebond wood glue. The CA stuff took more work to sand down, but it didn't have a tint to it, the...

We need color, so I found a Canon Pixma something on FB marketplace w/ a free laminator thrown in. 35 bucks but the 2 ink cartridges it needed ran me more than that. Install was a BEEEEYOTCH for no good reason, but it's working fine. After this thing dies, we'll buy whichever brand laser printer...

We own an old Epson that has decided to be a jerk about the ink cartridges all of a sudden. So not being up to date on the latest scams to extract $$$ from my wallet, I am a little disappointed to see SUBSCRIPTIONS being required on some printers or else they won't print. What in the holy...

Just got an interesting message on Reverb Please stop watching my stuff if your not buying included w/ a $10 discount Ooooooookay!

Dang, did you put down a lot of money up front? The solar sales guys frequently ring my doorbell. I always ask them how long until I recoup my $$$ in savings from lower electric bills, that usually shuts them up. BTW, I live in CA and have to deal with PG&E. I'm screwed either way.

It's gonna be close to 30k after taxes/fees etc. I got my 50 bucks back

Different strokes 4 different folks I guess. I owned a Super Compact(?) 1x12 w/o the tweeter because it was the best sounding one IMHO from their own demos they put on YouTube. It was very good but I failed to see what the hype was all about especially at the price I paid. It was actually pretty...
