Does anyone know where I can get neck bolts for my new G Bass project?
View attachment 4623028

I found them. My green sparkle G Bass, that's now yellow, had chrome hardware, except the neck bolts that were black. It now has all black hardware. My new project will have chrome hardware, so the stainless will be great. The smallest quantity I found was 100. PM me if you need a set and don't want 95 or 96 extra bolts. Here is the link:

I got the countersunk washers here:

Definitely a GV
And not a bxp

woods in the pocket but Bridge would have been solo rails as a-posed to the 3 hole Hipshot like

3 screw holes are noticeable

looks more like a glitter/flake then a holographic colour flake

Best screw for tone?
Titanium? stainless?
Robertson? (Canada)
Star?
Flathead? torx?

The answer is: the right size.
There is nothing worse than playing and then your bass crumbles to pieces because you used the wrong size screw...

My paint guy did a Zodiac in kandy brandywine to learn the ins and outs of painting bodies. Reassemble coming soon. Trying to decide what pickguard material to use.

 

[JEDI BASS]

He’s doing a T-45 and a T-40 next. Oh, and several other bodies for my own Mad Man basses. But, I haven’t made those yet.

That looks killer ! I like the EVH strap lock touch, too.

Let’s let him get more experience before I start putting his name out there. His quality is fantastic with car and motorcycle custom paint jobs. But, he had to strip and paint the Zodiac twice before getting the process down. And there’s still some clear coat polishing to be done to get it up to snuff. He offers a guarantee. But, let’s be honest, we bassists want perfection and he’s not there just yet.

Haha, that’s the hang hook. It’ll have real strap buttons.

Oh !!! OK that makes sense but at least you knew what I meant. Duh, why wouldn't you ?

Exactly LOL

I bought some #8 Stainless oval head sheet metal screws from the hardware store for the neck bolts

I made the mistake of using the old neck screws on the new neck before making sure I could source the same screws. Threads per inch are different with sheetrock screws compared to wood screws, so the sheetrock screws wouldn't work with the neck that'd already been tapped.

Try sheet metal screws, not sheetrock. They still may not match up, but it's going to be a heck of a lot better chance of it matching up than sheetrock

With my new project I’m gonna be using these possibly
