If you buy one of those preferred necks from MGB , let me know how it works out….getting ready to head to China for 2 weeks, so not much time before trip to work on guitars
Thanks for the feedback on my latest build. You posted before I completed the details, so I could not get back to your comments via the email links. The yellow parts do seem to contrast nicely with the darker wood color. The winding sound holes are intended to be the outline of my version of a violin bass body. Trying something different visually.
Hey Uncle John, can you help me make a weedeater cord bass? I have the cord, I just need to see one that is done, to copy. Dave Lynas never made one, so I have not learned yet. Can you help me

This may be a duplicate reply, I'm refamiliarizing my self with this site, I took a long break from cbgs but now that I'm retired I have more time for building! I do tune gdgb, I've learned a lot of songs in that tuning but maybe I'll experiment soon.
Thanks Uncle John, that's the second of four that have been hanging around unfinished waiting for inspiration, the first was the one inspired by Joe Strummer's Tele

Thanks for the comment Uncle John, Best thing about the bridges, easy to make and adjustable.
