Man, it appears my headstock decals are making the rounds!! Glad all the work I put in Photoshop paid off! :)

Wow, that turned out great!

Haven't been back here in a while, but I'm so glad its getting some love. My wife had chemotherapy treatments over several months and as of March is cancer-free now! Maybe I can buy it back from you one day... :)

Thank you, sir. I've sold the bass to one of our Mini friends, so she'll be looked after. Sorry to hear about your own struggles. I hope you overcome it and overcome it quickly!

I stripped mine down to bare wood, but I'm a maniac and wanted a sunburst. :)

That's awesome! If you have any questions or need any help, just ask.

Well, it pains me, but I think it's time to let my Mini go. My wife needs to undergo chemotherapy and I need the money more than this little fella. I think you all might appreciate what I've done to it more than anyone else, so I figured, hey, I'll let these knuckleheads have the first crack at...

Welcome!

Looking slick!

Hey guys n gals, I finished up another gold anodized aluminum pickguard last weekend. This little fella is going on a Mini refinished in Olympic White. I'm super-stoked for the guy and can't wait to see it put together!

There's really no point in upgrading your nut from stock. If there is any tone enhancement, it would only affect open strings. Fretted notes wouldn't change. You only need to change the nut if it is worn out, or cut wrong, or too deep, and even then, there are tricks you can do without replacing it.

Awesome! Looks great. I made a dark brown dye with some amber in it for a base, then sanded that back, then dyed with amber. I sprayed a couple of clear coats of lacquer next, applied my decal, then sprayed several costs of amber tinted lacquer until the decal was buried.

I've been a way a while, do you have pics of the tinted neck? I thought I was the only one who had done it...

Church music. :D

Hadn't posted in a while so here's my CV-style Mini and my current rig for those who haven't seen it... :)
