This one takes the cake for me. Our guitarist is actually a pretty good drummer. he and I were jamming along to Tom sawyer one afternoon, he played all the drum parts flawlessly. Literally right after we finished the song, he asks me "can you please tell me what a paradiddle is?" i explained it...

Here's my submission! A 2011 fireglo.

So when I epoxy the cloth to the wood, how do I go about making the surface smooth?

Does anyone know if it is possible to bond a carbon fiber sheet to a neck? If so, is it advantageous in any way? I've never experimented with carbon fiber, so I'm completely clueless. Here is a link to the stuff I am referring to: Invalid Link Removed

Entwistle, hands down my favorite bassist.

My friend told me about this obscure heavy rock band from the 70's. They aren't really all that bad. I think they were called Led Zeppelin or something? Too bad they never got really big...

Thanks! Good luck with your build as well.

This is my first project. These are the only pictures I have now, the cardboard template has since been straightened out and properly measured. I also already have a fretboard. I thought I would make a sharper, more angular version of JE's buzzard bass. Here is the list of things it is made of...

This wasn't me, but someone I know bought a 1974 ric identical to geddy's, in mint condition, for $200 from his drummer. The drummer found it in the basement and had no idea what it was. This was in the 90's, and he sold it a couple years later for $400...

Haha, nice one. It took a while for me to notice him as well!

I almost tripped on my own cable during my ver first gig. I tried to turn it into some half a$$ed jump. It looked really bad, but I didnt stop playing, so I guess it turned out okay.
