Thanks Nitro, I do plan stuff out in detail before I buy a kit, mostly to make sure I can get the parts I want and that they will fit or can be made to fit. The reason I had the Schaller bridge sitting around was that I'd rush bought it and hit the wrong item about a year ago. I figured I'd use it on a ES or Starcaster build one day but lets face it hollow bodies look better with a trapeze or a Bigsby so it found a home here.

This is the last guitar for a while however. I have a couple of basses planned for next year :o

Just a few quick questions dedman, im thinking of building a bass next like you, is there much difference compared to building a 6 string guitar?
What would you say would be the main differences?

no idea Nitro, I've never built a bass before either but I'm thinking the only difference is a longer neck and 2 less strings :P

Nice deep rich colour Deddy.

looking sweet dedman, nice backround too, no magpies?
after i look at the fine craftmanship in these threads, i enjoy checkin out the sheds, backyards. workshops, tools, ideas etc

Thanks Waz, it really deepenup nicely with the clear, Iwas bit worried it was going to go muddy.

Magpies are busy with chicks atm Guv. You can see my neighbours old dual throne outdoor dunny in the background there LOL

I was wondering whose it was and glad you cleared that up.

Dual throne? Impressive but who would want to do a dual dump out in the back yard? Probably built in the late 60's or early 70's I suspect.

probably more like the 50s Waz, the place next door was one of the first houses in the street.

Anyway, nearly done. the brass nut I got was the wrong width so I put a plastic one in till I can get around to either sourcing a correct brass one or fitting a bone one O have here.More pics after it gets decent strings and I clean the finger prints off
