Wazkelly's EX-1

[wazkelly]

Thank DB.

The Bone Nut & Neck job you did way back last November did the trick as it felt great for the 15 minutes or so that I sound checked it this afternoon. Will leave it to settle for a few days and tweak things a little bit towards end of the week if needed.

Oh, forgot to mention I found an old tub of the wax lurking in a dark corner the other week and it was hard as well.
So I knocked it out of the tub and used it like a surf board wax block, then vigorously rubbed it and found that the friction heat melted it and spread it nicely.. Set nice and hard and buffed up a treat.. Hard yakka though...

Maybe if I was a board rider that might have come to me sooner.

Had 2 pots of the stuff and both were as hard as ....... well, harder than hard stuff. Had to leave it out in the full sun for at least half a day so that it just softened a teeny weeny bit and then go at it like that Disney Tasmanian Devil before it started to solidify again. Talk about hard work.

The rosewood FB on this one was pretty light hence why it looks unfinished whilst the wax did an amazing job on the EX-5 bringing up almost like ebony.

Thanks Buddy, almost a smaller replica of your EX-5 in these shots. In natural daylight it is more of a caramel colour like the gooey bit in the middle of a mars bar but just a slight bit lighter.

I've always been partial to the explorer shape...had a few 4 bangers, but now have to make em myself,
no one has these sexy fivers!

[wazkelly]

Dead right there.

One of the most well balanced shapes I have ever played. Really comfortable to play either sitting or standing up. Just gotta remember the wings are a bit longer than most and easy to ding & damage and the EX-5 is probably the longest axe I have ever played, even longer than a 4 in line J Bass.

Lovely work Waz, I hope mine turns out somewhere near this standard!
