Disagree. There are a couple of things to say.Some places you just want to be there and say nothing. That is one of those places.
The longer stemmed ones are great for putting a crease in the(drummer's/lead singer's/cowbell player's)head.
Is it allowed to file the edges?
For some of us, that's a terrible waste of bait.
Very true. He can still belt it out.

But it contains one of the great rock n roll stutters.
Ah right. Speaking of WWII, here's a dive site off Tinian called Dump Cove, or Dump Coke (lots of coke bottles from the war), where parts of planes, tanks, jeeps, and ammunition were dumped.Muscle cars, WWII, model trains, crossdressing.............

You’re welcome to stop by anytime for an extensive hands on run through the Bass and Guitar Boutique. Alcohol and other beverages are on the house. Make an offer on something and you might just go home with it. Ask Marshall, he’s a pretty happy camper right now.
LOL - that pic as taken about 10 feet from the front door, so you could easily do a distract and dash. I’d estimate you have a 50/50 chance to get to your car before you’re exposed to either high velocity lead poisoning or licked to death by an overly loving Australian Shepard that will chase/herd anything moving faster than a brisk walk.
The only way to lay out the body shape on the blank would be at an angle because the blank is just wide enough, but the body is offset. Looking at the face of the body (with the neck to right) the grain could not run horizontally. Not really a problem if it was a solid colour, but I wouldn’t build a new bass that way.
A little weathering on that thing and it's ready for Mad Max.
Thanks for that gracious offer. But sounds like it would prove to be an expensive trip. Even if I came home empty handed--which seems unlikely!
Yes, but if you laid it out straight, the body would only be about 1/8"(or ? mm)smaller all the way around. Sorta a Baby-'Bird. Lighter too. I refer back to the previous calipers comment.

I'll never tell.
