Just got back from Greensboro. A good hang as always! Keith gave my CS 5 a slight tweak and it's playing like a million bucks. I also took a look through the woodpile, probably north of 100 pieces and narrowed it down to these three, one of which will go on an ash body with a single MM pickup and a fretless black diamondwood board. SPOILER ALERT: I already picked the winner. But curious to see what you guys would choose. L to R: Prima vera, Mango, Koa.
Ash body, Maple neck, dark Diamondwood fingerboard, screams KOA!
What will the position of the single pickup be?
Gard, got the news from Greg that my bass is finished....damn, who took that sexy photo, dude must have mad skillz with the DSLR, right?
Got any pics of it?
No such thing as a "wrong" choice here - but I know the answer (), and he made the RIGHT choice.
The perfect choice: One of each!

No, not FINISHED, but will be by the end of the week. I'll definitely be getting photos done as soon as possible.

That leads to a question I've had for a while...
Is there a torque spec for the neck screws ?
In support of one of my other hobbies I have a small torque wrench preset at 65 inch/lbs that seems like it might be a reasonable value.
Everything else I have is in ft/lbs and I am skeptical of their accuracy at low settings...

I am not sure, I have never seen Keith put a torque wrench on the neck bolts but that is not to say his air driver isn't set to a specific torque.

I have an obsession for wood. The musical kind.

The one on the right totally looks like a pair of corduroy pants.

No torque specs, when it's tight enough, it's tight enough.
That's what I thought, when I have a neck off I just tightened the bolts until they felt tight without going gorilla on the bolts. For me, once I have all bolts in place and slightly snug I tighten the two toward the headstock first then the back two bolts the same way I would do if I am adding a shim.
A very rare Roscoe LG 7 String Bass Guitar is for sale on ebay.com by the original owner who says it's the first LG 7 String made.
