Angle grinder with flexi pad and blue 60 grit discs, makes easy work but lots of dust.

RIM Custom 6 headless for Christophe

Hi Robbie
Just a thought on the recess under the tuners. Hard to tell from the pic but I would make it a bit deeper as it makes these tuners difficult to use if you can't get your finger under them. It may all ready be deep enough so ignore me if that is the case.

Hi Al,
Indeed bud, its well tricky to adjust as Ive only done a 4mm step off. Got to pass it over to Christophe.
More done tonight,
Cheers,
Robbie.

Glad you like guys,
Well good Question on the Chroming process, at the moment Im not sure as I wont be doing it. Martin Sims at Sims Custom in Kent UK will be the man for the job. Do you remember the Chrome Warwick Stuart Zender had well Martin did that!
Im guessing it will have quite a few undercoats and then chrome finish and Clearcoats on top. Its not cheap either.
Cheers,
Robbie.

Just a quick update, looks like we might not be able to have a full chrome finish on the bass now. Spoke to Martin at Sims Custom, he told me the chrome finish will react will the frets, so no chrome on the Fboard. Will will be going for Metalflake on the board and Chrome on the rest of the bass. Should look cool all the same!
That's a bit of a shame but it's still gona look awesome! Can't you use brass frets or something else that won't react with the chrome?
Probably a silly question, but could you not have chromed it, then fretted it?
I'd considered that. But I guess it's a matter of the metals being in contact. So the reaction will still happen over time, I think

I thought it was to do with how the chrome is applied. Shame.
