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 .
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!
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!
Hey Randy, Thanks for the response the info. I definatly wasnt fish'n for your plans I can just tell you have great craftsmanship and an awesome product and what I meant was I know I can make something that would work but it will be nowhere near as nice as yours. Its my first reso and I want it to come out nice. I thought about a dog bone shape but it just may be to much with the bone tail peice and all. I guess I dont know what to do at this point. Let me see if I can sell one of my builds quick and come up with the extra cash then I will get back to you I may just make a quick bolt on do to my excitement for this project until I can have a proper one made by you.I will let you know as soon as I have the money then we can start working on the creative side of it. Again thanks for your time I dont want to seem like a tire kicker your price is really good but my family sucks up all my fun money lol. Hopefully I can move this cbg fast and get back to you asap. Until then, Scott
Hey Randy. Just wanted to let you know I got my slide and all my bridges and bone today. Was slammed to the hilt when it arrived [10am] and didn't get to open the pkg till 5pm. I knew it would screw my day up if I had seen it earlier. lol. was right on that, heheheh, couldn't help but show it off to the co-workers and customers the rest of the day. Hll, didn't shut the shop down till 9pm. All's I can say is Wow! You sure done me proud!!! TY and for the awesome gifts too. Allen
