Yeah, Richmond is the place that's 2.5 hours away x]. I haven't tried sticking it in my car yet, I guess I can give it a try.

Hey, Thanks for all the replies guys! So, what if I don't have a reputable luthier in my area? Can I tackle the project on my own? I live in the Hampton roads area of Virginia, and the closest reputable luthier I can find is 2.5 hours away from where I live, which is going to be a tough place...

Okay, I measured the space between the fingerboard and the strings. This is what I have: E: 10mm (keep in mind there is a bevel for the E string) A: 10mm D: 14mm G: 15mm Is that some crazy inconsistent action, or am I just a noob? EDIT: Also, the strings are clearly flatwounds. I...

Okay, thanks guys! Maybe I can get some pictures of the string height in the morning :) I agree that finger strain is never good. Speed, dexterity, and endurance don't come from finger strength, they come from eliminating as much tension in the fingers as possible. EDIT: The bridge is not...

So, what if I want to play Jazz AND classical? I rechecked the radius, and it's actually fine. I think you're just seeing the bevel for the E string. Pictures can be kinda deceiving, haha.

Thanks! Do you have any clips of the Euro Ply Basses? I can't seem to find any.. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places :)

Hi guys! I'm in the market for a decent plywood upright. Right now, I'm looking at the Thompson, or the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. Have any of you played these basses? I think the Thompson sounds simply incredible, but I see that a lot of stores are selling the Cecilio for as...

Well, it's proven so far that it's an indispensable tool! :smug::smug:

PM sent :)

I'm wanting to do the Musicdojo with Adam, but every time I go to make a transaction, there's an error. The error tells me to send an email to the support. So, I send an email aaannnddd... No reply. I send a second email annddd... No reply. I also notice that the site's security certificate has...

I hear ya. My manual says that if the low B is thicker than a .125, get a tapered. I've already picked out some DR Lo-Riders with a .125 low B :)
