Thanks for the feedback on my VIKster bass. The woodburning did take some time to do; maybe it's time to upgrade my $15 iron to something with more power! I am not nearly as prolific as your are; you have built some very cool instruments, licenses plates and wood slabs and all. I love to see the variety.

Second would be the Line 6 Backtrack which plugs between guitar/amp or pdeal amp and just records everything you play and saves each piece as a WAV file. That's how I captured that piece of music/buffoonery. Save your pennies and get one.

Yep, pricing is always a problem, but selling cheap helps no-one. I refuse to sell on Ebay now because too many folk are giving them away - it cheapens everybodies product and if we dont have a decent profit, how can we keep building? Bear in mind what we do is a skill - some folk cant do it, so they buy from those who can. Same as everything.
Rant over - Here endeth the sermon LOL
Take it easy bro
