Welcome! You're #11. :)

You choose who you want to jam with. I haven't been on since the beta ended, but you create a jam session and either open it for anyone to join or lock it and only invite the people you want to jam with. obg

$60 seems very reasonable for a new bone nut. I've just starting making nuts, and there's a fair bit of work and a fair investment in tools if you're going to do it right. I wouldn't recommend the DIY route unless you're going to do several nuts. I do highly recommend it if you're into DIY on...

Whatcha workin' on? Post some pics! :) obg

Nic - I wish I could answer this question, but you've just seen the absolute limit of my experience with using heat to remove bubbles from epoxy. As a side note - I'm now convinced that applying very thin coats of epoxy is superior to using a heavy coat - especially when fretboard has a radius...

Thanks yellofury!! :) obg

Thanks blipndub. The feedback from this community on this thread has been nothing less than amazing. I'm as gratified if not more so with the success of the thread than I am with the actual refinish. I've been influenced and motivated by so many other fine players and craftsman in this community...

That's awesome Hammerhed - I'm very pleased that you found my adventures with this neck conversion/refinish informative and inspiring. Please consider posting the results of your conversion. I'd be very interested to see how it turns out. obg

I have the lefty version of that bass and just got a 4+1 jazz bass. I always replace the pots, jacks and switches on my SX/Agile/Douglas gear just as a rule, but in most cases you don't have to. Another great bang for buck is to upgrade the plastic nut to bone or one of the high-grade synthetic...

T-Chip - all of the stripping details are at the beginning of the thread. Let me know if there's any additional info you need. :) obg

Not yet as I haven't finished it. Real life and other projects have kept me out of my workshop for quite a while. Seeing these posts again has invigorated me and I'm thinking about going back to work on it. I miss that bass. The neck is sanded down and ready for another coat of epoxy. I'm...

I really don't know anything about the B9, but from what I do know, the ASIO driver is the key to eJamming. You can download the client and I believe there's a free trial for eJamming. You can use that to talk to some of the eJamming technical support folks that hang out in the eJamming Lobby...
