I can’t find your more simple, flat board on there. Do you have a link, or a name for the model?

I’ve had these two for quite a while, in the before times when each was ~$150. I was sad I didn’t get the blue/teal version of the Octabvre mini because I like neon colors, but these two were a workhorse pair back when I was playing out. I’ve wanted to nab a Proton v4 at a steal to complete...

The only thing I’ve found, aside from the voicing not being optimal with my Ampeg 210 drivers, the horn can be obnoxious sounding. I have to turn the tweeter all the way down or else there is a disconnected “tin can” edge at the top of the spectrum that isn’t musical. Overall it is too dark to...

But in all seriousness, I’m relieved to see it didn’t take you out of commission! Your builds are fun to follow.

I’m late to the updates here, so I’m happy to see your hand healed in about 20 seconds, from injury to stitches removal. 😂

Which models are these?

My Stingray I purchased from The Juliana Theory 23 years ago. Has been my main ever since:

THIS is the one for me. I’ve been itching to replace my Ampeg SVT 3 Pro with a Mesa for a few years now, but haven’t had a clear choice. @agedhorse I remember your polls here and think it’s awesome that got to influence a real world product. Had this come out a month ago I would have used my...

Thanks @Tommy Sparks ! I gotta say, for a high schooler I did already have a good sense of form and flow, and my then undiagnosed ADHD let me really hyperfocus on a project like this till I had it right.

Unfortunately no actual sawmills within the surrounding area. I DO have a lumber yard I could phone to see if they ever have anything like this.

Thanks for the Woodcraft and Rockler suggestions. I was looking online, but I didn’t think about them having different wood selections locally, or about scraps/offcuts boxes. I’m still holding out hope someone here may have what I’m looking for. Yeah, Hamers were great! I chose this over a LP...

Hey all, I’ve been looking to update my (gasp!) guitar’s custom truss rod cover. I made it in high school back when I was into all things street, punk and ska, and flames captured my aesthetic. I drew the template, cut it out and filed and sanded till the piece was acceptable. My mom, a...

My first bass was a ‘74 Gibson Ripper that looked something like this (not my photo): And evolved into this:

Actually, the best alternative just launched recently in an open source project called Faircamp. Takes a little willingness to deal with technical things, but is a wonderful Bandcamp alternative: https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/

You’re most definitely going to have to veer off topic to tell us about this bass. ❤️
