Thank you! Yeah I wanted to anodize it but the company my shop uses doesn’t do off the street business…then they quoted me a “go away” price of $200. It will be sprayed in a high solids silver, so I hope it does still retain a little charm Thank you! The truth is, it started out as just...

I like having a pedalboard but I try and keep them fairly small with just a few pedals. I decided to add a couple effect options and upgrade my board. Previously I had just used a pedal riser, but now I need a little more space and didn’t love the options I saw available, so I milled my own...

This octave rules! I’ve wanted to try it after trying the oc2 and okto noj, and my wife surprised me for my birthday. Great phattening! Great tracking (sustains down to low F# on my pbass but produce a low E if not sustained) nice defined attack to the sub octave. I almost want to get a second...

Yes, I’ve noticed this, but why do you think that is? Simplicity? Mine does not fit that criteria. Hopeful I can get a template of some kind mocked up soon

Yeah, choosing where to put my origin point was a challenge since Ive been mocking up neck and body together instead of doing separate files. I intend to break those apart and probably change the body origin point before moving on to programming. Ive tried mocking up some tuners based off a...

Fusion 360 Thank you for going into so much detail! Yes, I dont care too much for the EHB but I dont find it that offensive :roflmao: I also like the idea of a zero fret and am planning on incorporating one Yes, Im using Fusion as well. Im working toward a full 3d model but working on...

Ah ok, that makes sense. I tried making the contours off CL and it looked awful! Any good resources you’d recommend? I really do like learning about this stuff, and I feel it helps us make more intentional design choices. Here’s a pic btw. Don’t mind the spline at the neck heel. I haven’t...

Hey yall, I’ve been working off and on with my first design/build. I know, generally speaking, putting the upper horn ~12 fret is good for balance, but started wondering if there were any more “rules-of-thumb” that are good to stick too when designing a body shape, and help avoid headaches...

Thank you! It really is. The strings on it are just a hair too stiff for my taste, so I should be putting on a new set this weekend

Woah! That’s gorgeous!

I agree! Anyone know if a standard p bass pickguard would fit? Oh and on the back of the tag someone wrote “hits the spot” and I’d have to agree

My wife and I decided to spend a few days in TN to celebrate our upcoming 5yr anniversary. She’s been a few times, though, as a NC native, I’ve never made it over to our next state neighbor. The trip was great! A couple days in Nashville and a couple in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Caught a show...

Narrowing in on design aspects. 32” scale bolt on. 1” thick body with .125 thick pickguard to help give clearance for electronics Despite the thin body, weight is still an issue. After initial chambering and weight relief I was still looking at an 8.3lb body

Still chipping away at this. Actually got some good deals on aluminum drops about 5 months back. Looking at doing a 2pc sandwich body and using binding around the perimeter of the body to hide the seam. Luthiers, do you find binding material usually runs true to size and consistent? Also...

I decided to rip off the bandaid. I took the feet off and sure enough all of the rock is in the boards structure. Back left corner to front right corner.
