#Planning 5 String Bass
As a disciple of Carol Kaye I have always played bass with a pick and as a consequence palm mute, left hand finger mute and also fret mute ( finger right on fret and slightly over hanging rather than muting with a free finger on the fretting hand )Originally Posted by andrewdosborne
I used to play bass with a pick/palm muting/anything goes, but haven't played in a band/live for years.
I sometimes use tone foam to mute guitar strings when recording.
If plan A fails, remember that you still have 25 letters left.
Update pics:
The back has come off, it was almost a shame to start by pulling a perfectly good guitar body apart. The inside bridge reinforcement block has come off, and some of the ply with it. It won't be seen, but I've partially filled the hole with sawdust/super glue to stop any further delamination.
The back had a few chips that needed re-glueing. The big key to getting it off gently is heat. Sometimes it pays to live somewhere that has 40 plus degree days during summer.

Its not often you see a kit guitar build thread start in reverse on purpose! Thats some balls of steel to attempt to take the back off a new hollow body kit, Igor and I in the FrankenLab salute you sir!Update pics:

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
And foam guitar!
Shaping is nearly done, then it will need some sort of grain filler before painting.

wow Andrew first time I've seen a semi hollow the back come off the body !
Good to see what the inside looks like. Looks like you have it nicely glued/clamped.
Love the foam mini strat, has it been cut out of a block of foam ?
