Thanks Randy, That Bass looks cool, I think they maybe related lol.

thanks big dog .

Hi Randy, Only just spotted a comment you left me last year about using CB radio elements in microphones (gorgeous mics by the way how you do that kinda stuff with bone i'll never know!) I'd given up on the idea till i saw that and ive just oredered a couple to see how it goes so thanks for the advice!

Yup,I thought we were already friends too!

It looks like I've missed a lot of your cool builds since I'm not on Handmade page. Spend too much time on CB Nation already!  I'm diggin' what appears to be hollow log instruments. Guess I need a page on Handmade Clubhouse too!

thanks for the friend request randy 

im honored to be your friend.  I need all the friends I can get.

now if I just had the money to buy ME a CBG. so cool.

Hey Randy could you help me out with a rod piezo bridge idea . lol im almost done with this awesome build but im stuck at the bridge . if i hollowed out a dowel {chopstick} and stuffed the rod into it would it sill work ? or does the rod have to be free floating with the bridge on top ? i could slice one side and put the rod under . ps. the rod is attached to a marshall preamp . 

sorry man net went out for a bit and i somehow missed this .  

Happy Birthdays to us. Have fun.

Hey Randy, how much do you get for a standard slide & one with a custom logo? My Smokin' Rooster would look pretty cool on one of them bones. BLC

Randy, I finished the build. Posted a few pictures. Thanks For All Your Help!

Walt.

ooh excellent, thanks Randy : -)

Randy - call me a "lurker" -- this way I sort of keep up on stuff so I can get good things for my husband.  He's the "picker" ... I'm the "grinner"???  But given that my Dad (at 90) is a woodcarver - I have a lot of appreciation for your work (and all these hand-made instruments are just incredible). 

looks beautiful Randy : -)

beautiful,my friend,do u have paypal ?

Is it TUESDAY YET???  I'm going to be running home like a little school boy tomorrow afternoon.

no not here yet Randy. Was thinking today it could come any time now! Will let you know when it arrives...

Man, they look awesome!

thanks randy

Thanks, mdf easy to work with but very dusty, I always liked the look and sound of the old danelectros that's what I was going for. I probably could have chambered out a little more is still a little on the heavy side. 

Nice to have you as a friend, you have some great looking instruments here.

Thanx for the link, I'll let you know concerning the slide. C ya !

Awesome Randy! I'll be playing with it as soon as it arrives, Thanks, I'll be talkin' to ya!

If I use a metal tail piece I normally just clamp the earth wire between the box and the tail in a loop around one of the retaining screws

  pic of the thumb slide looks great.. looking forward to getting it!!

thanks

Thanks for the friend add Randy - might have to treat myself to one of your slides for my birthday next month!

hey randy,just an update for you,i don,t know if you remember the reso i made with the heavily cranked neck,but i could never get it sounding right ,so i sort of stopped playing it,well after playing around with your slide on a few gits,i noticed that some reacted well to the bone and some not so much,well i got the reso down and tried it,awesome,been playing around with it all w/end,it loves the bone,just thought you might like to hear,cheers darryl

Hey Randy! Haven't been on here in a while. Figured i'd post that 5 string and see what's up.

HEY RANDY!!!  I was just playing the slide this evening, AWESOME!!!

Randy, I am thinking about a project CBG (3 string), using different components from whom I consider to be the top guys out there.  You are certainly the Bridge guy...I have not decided yet on the Neck, Body, Pickup etc.

My question is: Do you keep some bridges made up that I could choose from or all yours custom made?  Obviously there needs to be some matching done to the Body etc.  I lean towards real cigar boxes, not shop made and retaining the stickers, labels etc.

Thanks

Bill

Thank you very much Randy.  I'll be in touch when I decide what direction I want to go. Theme or not etc...

Got the slide and bonus pick yesterday.  Nice bag and I like them all.  Good fit on my finger too.   Thanks!   Photo and video posted here and same video posted on a facebook diddley group.

Oily, in case Randy doesn't see this for a few days, i'll say this, dropped mine on concrete floor a couple of years ago, clean split on the joint, i just lightly sanded it to clean it up, then joined it with araldhyte epoxy, clamped it for 24 hrs [gently] , have had no issues since, and it's been dropped a few times,.....tip, clean up insides straight away, i had a small bubble harden inside and had to remove it with the dremel
