Sorry about the repeat of Too Bad - I love Rival Sons and had this one on my list to test, but checking against the songs from the past slipped through the cracks.

It ain´t that bad for it is a year gone and really a good CS song.

i wondered if i would again reach the 90, yay... just realised that my strins on my low-tuning LTD are still the same as last time

 

 

 

oh, i remember that one - hard hard - 7.5, at least 7, not below

 

 

 

that sounded way better

 

 

 

never underestimate basses in Pop... 7.5 yeah, cool line. soring is perfect

 

 

 

 

 

 

ah nice one 5.5-6

 

 

 

better, i think that´s it minus the slides and one note

 

 

 

cool song 6ish

 

 

 

leaderboard updated

that´s a cool song, we played it 1 year ago - diff is 5

 

kda remember that bass

 

 

 

aaaarrgh, fxxed up the end

 

 

 

tough

 

 

 

 

A lil fix on the 1st frets slot that i fixed before, but the sawdust didnt´t get soaked by superglue in the deep, so after shaping of the fretboard i had to go again. Now it shall be good and not visible under the fret...

Luthierism... not possible without superglue

 

 

Oh no! - Let the fun begin!

After few mins i had my own guitar shape - good? questionable! One that i have never seen - for sure. I just cannot make a copy of a copy, those can be bought.

Installed a new blade on my cheap cheap cheap bandsaw - and hell - that tool cuts so precise!!!! I love it

and it´s relatively silent - i did that cutting 10pm my family sleeping upstairs, the vacuum cleaner running on full was way louder, and i have a rather silent one (says the ad)

trying to save bigger throw away parts for potentional back-cover and fixes and stuff

Hah - that went well, didn´t take 10 mins and i am everywhere 1-2mm away from what i´ve drawn.

Hah

let´s try some...

if it´s gonna be playable or not - i´m happy already

ok, drawing some outlines and some carving lines to call it a day

love the look of that back already

 

 

Ok, it´s done - bass arrangements have been resorted!!

Rock!

Back and straight back to my lil project.

 

Had time to do a lot of thinking the last days, i think in my head i have a plan to go step by step till the end now... lol

 

First i wanted to finish the neck so far to be able to start on the body ... and neckpocket. Was thinking if i should finish the neck first completely, but that would not leave me the opportunity to fix possible non-optimalities, yeah let´s put it that way on the neck side.
So first i had to finish the sides on fretboard level to get the final pocket-shape

My version of a good fret-leveling beam, at least that´s the thing that has to be dead straight and affordable. First i went with the plastic one, it´s good but not dead dead straight, so i went back and got the metal one.

sandpaper wears so quickly, but i don´t think working it wet on the plain wood is the best idea... went from 40gr to 120

rounding of the pocket edges... already i shiver when thinking on routing that pocket and creating the break-angle!?

ultra-straight on both sides

got me a new shiny middle-line, a bridge-line... measured 12th that was 32.4mm - so bridge is or must be 64.8... and that matches with the number i had in my head. And i  started drawing a shape - well when i build a guitar from scratch - can i possibly go with a shape someone else has created and rebuild that - no! Even if mine was ugly, no.

 

 

I´d suggest the following order for that weeks bass:

(INT) White Limo 5.5
(INT Bonus) Thin Lizzy 5.5
(ADV) Beach Boys 6.5
(MC) The Gog Song 7

and we only would need a MC replacement if there are complaints because of the tuning.

Nice week that is! ROCK!

gog track is a 7, some 4 stringers might not like the tuning, it is clearly done for a 5-string. as i play fingerstyle only on bass maybe that helped

 

instant platinum, i´d say 5.5 a lil easier to score, but harder to make sound right than white limo

 

 

 

 

 

 

very good adv song 6.5-7

 

 

 

bass, yeah i can play that - 5.5
