I don't know if I agree but I don't think the average player could hear the difference either so I'm not disagreeing either. I'm one of those people who strongly believe in the wood you make a guitar out of does affect the sound (to a very small degree). The strings don't vibrate in isolation they interact with the neck as a whole which in turn vibrates and affects how the strings themselves vibrate as part of the whole system. Possibly the fact that a fingerboard had been glued on has more affect than the type of timber it's made from?
Glueing adds a little to the stiffness of the neck which was one of the concerns I have about carbon rods in them which @godofthunder59 instantly confirmed. It would be interesting to try a range of necks on the same body and measure the output to see how much of a difference it does or doesn't make.
Juxtaposition on this might be hifi stands, I like my Hifi and spend too much on it (or did spend). There's a big and long standing argument on whether or not the stand it's sat on makes a difference to it's sound, I'm in the yes camp because I can or could hear it albeit very slightly but it is there. When I was in Liverpool Uni I asked the doc who was teaching us Electricity and Magmatism his thoughts. He eventually got back to me with the theory that micro vibrations running through the stand made the individual components vibrate which in turn made micro changes to the magnetic field around them, which in turn affected the overall sound. Only a theory and the only thing he could think of to explain it but it's plausible I think
The price for the Rosewood is slightly more expensive than real Rosewood but it doesn't come under the CITES regulations and no tropical rain forest was harmed in their making.
There's a thread on it in the Luthier forum which is well worth a read if you're interested Rocklite: The Latest Synthetic Ebony For Fingerboards

Are you staining the one in the last pic?
What kind of power are you looking at?
Probably can't bridge that. Is that new? Be nice to have Dynaco around again..
No, it's just water to give an idea of how it would look when oiled. It behaves in the same way as real Rosewood, very very impressive stuff
I've mentioned you into a post above this, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts
Getting the PG to fit the 76 buckers on my 2013 done. Turns out it looks really cool without a PG. I think it would look rad without the PG, all the black hardware and black nylons or rounds...
Found some 060" three ply and an (Epi) sticker contact from the Bravissimo Larry V. Almost done..

If you want, I can get rid you the pickups.
I think the neck material has some influence, but that's about as far as it goes.
It doesn't harm the wood huh?
It's not wood, well it has wood in it. It's longs fibres of wood aligned and soaked in resin before being cast I suppose. After the wetting had dried there was no fingerprint of the water at all, no marks, no raised grain, no colour bleed nothing

There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!
I work in an anesthesia department, and seriously doubt that...
Most modern anestetic drugs used today are metabolised very fast and don't give such a late allergic response. Since most anestetic drugs are either administered iv or inhaled (except nerve blocks, which are local), you will see an allergic reaction almost immediately. If a drug was accidentially administered subcutaneous you might see a local reaction - But then you wouldn't be administering an iv line on the arm having surgery.
Some local anestetic drugs used for nerve blocks may give an allergic reaction - But I've never seen this occur that late after surgery, as it usually occurs shortly after the block.

We actually ended up back in A&E on Tuesday night when her arm started swelling badly. We eventually ended up back in the fracture clinic to get her cast sorted and the surgeon who operated was there. He said that the rash had started to appear during the time she was in the recovery room. Why they did nothing about it is another thing altogether!
