Winter Build Off 2022 - Get Ready

I am a giraffe.

Huh???

 

[Matt Liebenau]

...um, through-neck or set-neck giraffe?

Seriously, though... I am also flip-flopping between a bolt-on and a through-neck design...

Anybody else suffer from design-paralysis or just me? I've been accused of over-designing...

I'd suggest that neck through seems more giraffe like or at least seems more like it would identify as a giraffe.

Next Summer Buildoff: build a bass that looks like a giraffe. Can be neck through, bolt on, or set neck.

how do I incorporate this piece of wood, or these old bicycle parts I just found- land

Is this pronounced similarly to New-found- land?

You just click "+Quote" on anyone you want to reply to and then you will see an "Insert quotes..." button on the left side of the textbox.

Interesting. My "Insert Quote" button is on the right.

Oh, and I hate multiquote.

You guys are too kind. I don't think I've ever been more than half way up the pack when it comes to voting on these things so I don't see my entry as being about the actual competition in any sense. I'm really excited about it anyways!

I'm not worried about ranking at all. I would be happy to not get voted off of TB with my pile of tree stumps and a handful of wire.

Brilliant!

Strange. Just double checked to make sure. Yup, still on the left:

That's funny since most of your posts are multiquote!

 

[Flamingo21]

Strange.

Perhaps.

Just double checked to make sure.

Yes, do.

Yup, still on the left

Mine's on the right:

That's funny

Is it?

since most of your posts are multiquote

No, they aren't.

 

[RichterScale]

I think being on the right is a Europe/UK thing

 

[Flamingo21]

I think being right is a Europe/UK thing

Fixed that for you.

Newfoundland rhymes with "understand". Careful what you say and how you say it or a hockey game will break out.
And never trust a Canadian that has been drinking rye (Canadian whiskey).

 

[TerribleTim68]

...never trust a Canadian...

Got it!

 

[2groggy]

Now the quoting out of context has gone too far. I blame @RichterScale and his upstate NY manifest destiny conspiracy to make the Buffalo Bills into Canada's adopted football team.

 

[RichterScale]

This is my first time posting today.
Someone must've hacked my account and posted a buncha stuff earlier.
Probably a Canadian.

Aw crud, here comes the short scale argument again

quoting out of context

So I ordered a set of Hipshot ultralite tuners. I have to say, it was a little difficult to find a 5 string set, and also to find a set with the attributes I wanted. I had to get the "Fender" style clover type as opposed to the "Y" type which I prefer. I started thinking that I won't use the modified headstock that I've used on all other Ric style basses I've built, but instead, I'm now thinking of using the standard headstock style. Seems to fit with that style of tuner.

I almost ordered the set from Best Bass Gear, but they only had 4 of them. I may have one here, so that might have worked, but I'd have to go in search of that one tuner, and I like having a spare on hand. So I ended up getting them from Amazon. Allegedly to arrive early next week.

Actually pronounced New-fund-land.
