Big congrats from me as well!
Haven't been here much lately... Too busy playing/learning my very first guitar which I built from a PBG kit! I'm itching to get onto the next one!

Hey mate!
Good luck with your build!
Always ask questions... plus... read all the build diaries...there is a wealth of information in there...
Cheers,
Rohan.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for your feedback. I always like a good recommendation. I don't have much experience with bass guitars and the types of strings that are out there.
The bass strings are much...
Hi Guys,
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Cheers,
Rohan.
Wudtone should really have colour-calibrated pamphlets/brochures that can be sent on request.
It is impossible to identify actual colours on the net unless you have a colour-calibrated monitor...
Hi Guys,
I was wondering which bass strings I should get for my IB5 kit.
There seems to be some variation in the "standard" guages. I was looking at the D’Addario EXL170-5 Nickel Wound...
He is saying to sand back to bare wood (no Wudtone or enamel). ;)
Hi Pedrovelo,
Good luck with your build mate. Make sure you ask questions - I certainly asked a lot ;)
As per your pictures, just use the "Reply" button on the bottom right of the Quick Reply...
Hey Scott,
Actually I spent a bit of time on this today and I think I am in a bit of a better place.
I had this theory that perhaps I hadn't drilled deep enough into the neck so I took the neck...
Thanks for your comments Scott.
It goes back to the original problem I had where I had
a) a different nut that was much closer to ideal (ie. lower)
b) all the saddles were height maxed out
c)...
Current bridge as well...

Yes, worryingly funky.
I took a few shots here. I totally realise that the strings are sitting a bit high but I want to only tweak those after levelling the frets.. which I want to do after...
Alright everyone, I have to admit I have been in an ounce of trouble and need some second opinions. Hopefully you can help!
Having cured the Wudtone, I bolted the neck in place and strung the...
That was awesome.
Hi Guys,
I tried to shield my guitar today using the PGB supplied kit but I actually ran out of tape with quite a fair amount to go. I think from memory I had 5 sheets when 6 would have been...
I wish I could blame it all on a dodgy screw but I was certainly trying to turn it pretty hard...
Was having some fun today shielding up the cavity of my top coat cured body... until I ran out of...
Wow, I feel like I flirted with disaster today.
I made some pretty rookie mistakes that hopefully others may avoid if they read this.
It was time to put the hardware on the headstock so I...
I am definitely going to do a Black Magic build at some point. Will be watching this diary with interest ;)
Looking good so far!
Hmmmmm. I was going to use Dr Ducks Axe Wax until I read your post Scott.
I would definitely be interested in the opinions of the experts around here!
Cheers,
Rohan.
That sounds very scary.
I will stick with my synthentics ;) (went with a TUSQ nut :P)
Thanks DB!
I am now reassured ;)
Hi Guys,
Was thinking about the Katana and I was not going to do any fret preparation prior to using the Katana. But then I started thinking maybe the Katana would work better on a pre-prepared...
Thanks again for your responses gentlemen.
I have ordered some nut blanks (and perhaps a couple other little tools and consumables...)
After reading this thread last night and doing a fair bit...
Thanks guys.
Looks like I'm off to order some blank nuts and a spacing ruler ;)
Is shaping the nut just a matter of filing and sanding to taste for the non-critical bits?
Cheers,
Rohan.
Thanks for that, Scott. Fellow Sydneysider here.
I took at look at your SG thread and sure enough there was a picture of your shiny new blank. I will be following along with that diary closely as...
