custom jugs

I'm assuming this was a typo and not a reference to the... Ummm... "jugs" on your bass?

1) Yes, “custom jigs.” I build them often, from scrap plywood, mostly.

2) In fact, all my basses have custom jugs because I like drawing implausible women and I like making stuff such as 3-layer pickguards with the top layer partly removed to form an image, but that’s the only one of the all that can be posted here.

They're certainly 'custom' and 'mythical'.

Ok I have a bass just some assembly required

Dang, I wish my bass had custom jugs. Might pique my interest in playing, been kinda sluggish lately.

I can (and have) put them on anything: shoulder straps, neck plates, pickguards, guitar stands, sweatpants and T-shirts (this is what my wife gets every birthday: original artwork!) whatever you need, I can make it happen.

What happened? You might be surprised at what can be fixed (trust me, I've fixed some doozies!)

 

[dwizum]

Yeah, I agree. Let's see the damage. I bet you get a handful of "I've done that" replies! There's very little that can't be fixed.

 

[BassUrges]

Routers are incredibly useful, and dangerous.

 

[Birdswing]

Indeed. Unfortunately I am kinda half assing a lot of things, tool, space to work etc. I think the world of the partscaster is the way ahead for me.

well until I mess up badly there ha

Don’t give up. We all made firewood before instruments.

This is the epitome of LC right here. You are a wise man.

Half-assing and repurposing things for weird uses is my hobby.

The hardware store people always look at me funny because I’m buying plumbing fittings for making mold boxes or something.

Ha! Right? There’s many times I’ve walked into ACE hardware, “Hi, can I help you find something?”

Me: “Ummm... no, it’s easier to find myself then explain.”

 

[Beej]

Haha, they used to look at me funny, now they're like "Hi Brent. Is it weird?"

 

[BassUrges]

Some of us made instruments that are almost firewood!

we still need pics of the router damage.
