    Squier Jazz bass neck - Update: Gone!

    Anyone in the contiguous US need a bass neck to get a build up and running? Maple neck, vintage gloss finish, rosewood frets. Stock nut, no idea what it's made from. Stock tuners, elephant Schaller type (but not quite as rock-solid precise) Round string retainer. 20 Frets, standard Fender bass...

    Rosewood neck on a Squier Jazz

    What started life as a Squier 60's Classic Vibe Jazz Bass is now a halfmoth! For a budget bass it was fantastic, except classic means it's got those tiny frets that I'm not great at dealing with so plenty of buzzes happen when I manhandle it like it's one of my other guitars. Also the side dots...

    New bass neck day (kinda)

    Just received my Maple/Pau Ferro Jazz bass replacement. Since it shipped while the temp was in the 50/60s and it decided to go down to the single digits all I'm willing to do is look at it for the next 24 hours while it warms up. Also purchased Schaller BML tuning machines and Hipshot 3 string...

    Sucessfully wired a new output jack!

    After having connection/buzzing problems I decided to get a new jack & insulated wire. After only 10 minutes (after removing neck & pickguard) I managed to do it right the first time (well second). I had wired it sloppily 10 years ago and when I removed the pickguard the trem ground wire fell...

    Wayne Static of Static-X has died.

    After 6 albums and starting a solo career that was going to begin touring Nov 6th Wayne Static has died at age 48. Reportedly he had been clean and not OD related. I saw Static-X play in 1999 and they were great.  Their style of music peaked around that time but I still listen to their debut...

    Vox AC4C1-BL

    New Amp Day! It's my first real amp.  My Yamaha that came with my first electric (15w solid state 8") finally died after 22 years (and a cat throwing up on it). So my first tube amp has just arrived! It can chime, it can scream, and best of all it can sound good doing both of those without...

    Pained faces of soloing rockstars make a lot more sense with giant slugs.

    Warmoth Tribute banner (June 2014 edit)

    Congratulations to everyone that has built a Warmoth guitar/bass/resonator/lapsteel/whatever. Every finished guitar (and really, the unfinished ones too) that get posted on here are unique and special and deserve some recognition. I made a banner thanking Warmoth for doing what they do, and to...

    Saw Helmet & Toadies (& opener Ume) last night

    Last night the wife & I went to our first rock concert in quite a while (at least 4 years) at the Vogue Theatre in Indianapolis. We got there about 20 minutes before the opener started to get some seats so we wouldn't have to stand the entire show (4 hours counting setups). The opening act is a...

    Things I learned whilst building my ______

    The VIP I've been working on has certainly enlightened me on a few points. 1) Carved top VIP bodies don't need carved pickup rings. 2) Not all Floyd posts & inserts are the same.  I'm pretty certain I'll need to pull the black ones out and insert the chrome ones with my OFR (no idea what unit...
