At 4:09am on March 27, 2011, Mark woleslagle said…: I checked out your pics today. Nice Gits. I love the bass! That will be my third build for my wife. She is a bass player. My 2nd build will have a heavier neck and a 1/4" walnut fretboard, and frets. Can't wait to get started. Guess I'll reinforce the box also.

Thank you so much for your listening to our music and the comment.
Best Regards,

At 8:52am on March 25, 2011, Mark woleslagle said…: Thanks John for the comment on my first build. It looks great but I can't seem to get it to sound great. I had to use a big nut because the tuner posts stick up so high, thus a high action. I guess thats ok for a fretless slide cbg but maybe it also hinders the crisp sound. It could also be the fact that I know nothing about slide playing. I did figure out one song but that's it so far. The pickups work good and that helps some with the sound. I may try the heavy neck on my next build. I will also be fretting that one. Do they offer shorter posts on the tuners? If not, how do you get a close action when you have to raise the nut up in order for the strings to be tight? Thanks for your help, and keep in touch. Mark

It's cool to have something up here from almost a year ago and get people coming back to it.

At 2:51pm on March 15, 2011, Johno said…: Hey uncle john, im really happy to get your input, & you are totally on the ball, the placement of the controls is not the best,

I wanted to fit them through the top of the guitar,but the lid was too thick..so that was the next best place,

Its ok playing with the strap fitted though, (but sitting down my thighs turn the volume up, haha. the amp was pretty trashed, worn & ripped vinyl covering. i decided to take it all off and recover it,but after ide taken it off,i really liked how it looked, so i decided to leave it as it was :) thanks again for your time unc, thats give me a real buzz :)
