My house is pretty well set up as a smart home. Switches, plugs, lights, cameras, motion sensors, temp/humidity sensors, contact sensors, doorbells, deadbolt, vacuum and the like. My favorite is the contact sensors on my refrigerator doors. If I open the fridge after 9:00, Alexa says "It's...

I have a Canon MF654Cdw color laser printer for my home office. It's proven to be a great machine.

I have a pair of Thursday brogue boots that I polish often. They look so good with a fresh polishing on 'em! I don't have a picture of mine handy, but here's a stock photo...

Thanks!!

I just repayed them by ordering my preamp (Delano Sonar 3MS) from them. 😊

Thanks! I just applied the stabilizer. As i kind of expected, it really didn't absorb much. Oh well. Peace of mind, I guess! 😊 Now I'm dying to get the epoxy in those voids to see how it looks! Lol

I'm working on my first build. It's a burled maple over an ambrosia maple body. I bought Minwax Wood Stabilizer to harden the punky burl. Essentially all of the contouring and shaping of the top is done. I haven't applied any stabilizer yet. My plan was to apply it after the basic shaping was...

I ordered pups and the template to install them yesterday. I live in Phoenix. This AM I got an "out for delivery" email. Not even kidding. That's ridiculous lol.

I wanted to give a shout out to online retailer Fat bass Tone (I hope this is allowed here). I made two separate orders yesterday. One was free shipping due to costs, and the other, which I placed later, was not, as it was much cheaper. Shipping chargers were like 6 bucks. I didn't want to...

Yeah, the control cavity will be accessed from the rear. I'm leaning toward the Goncalo Alves at this point. The cavity, pickup routes, wiring tunnels, back of cover, etc. will all be covered in shielding tape :)

Thanks everyone!!

I'm working on building my first bass, and I have a subjective opinion question. The body is ambrosia maple. The streaking in the control cavity area on the body is very pronounced. There's no way I will be able to effectively match a cover to it. The top is a highly figured burled maple...

I would have never thought of that. Thank you!!

I'm about to start my first build, and I'm having a small doubt. My plan was: light colored body wood - 1mm black laminate - 1mm bleached white laminate - darker 5/16 top. I've made other wood projects in the past and have had some issues where when multiple strips are used, during sanding the...
