    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!

    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...

    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.

    Woohoo! Got my Baby 'Bellas! Got them on, sounds good. My action is has gotten higher. Looked down the neck and it seems like I have more relief now. I didn't have time to do a set up tonight, but I will get it right soon. :)

    My bridge is from a full-size P Classic Vibe series and it dropped right in. I'd compare and double check the hole spacing first regardless of what anyone says. :)

    Anyone want this REAL carbon fiber pickguard? I'll do $50 shipped to CONUS. That's less than the material cost. Who wants it??? Vid: https://photos.app.goo.gl/po3UDo9W6JNKkq1E9

    I've got all the tools to do it and making a fretboard would be a fun challenge. I don't know if I will, I just keep fantasizing of having a mini Duck Dunn P. :D

    Unfortunately they were sealed after the dye process, so the color is locked in. But, yes, I could change the tone by immersing it again in the dye, or remove the color completely by soaking it in a bleach solution. I can strip the anodize layer and redo it, but I'd think I'd rather keep samples...
