    Special Tools: Stone Bar For Leveling Frets

    Here's a special Luthier tool that I'm experimenting with. I'm not really interested in making or selling these. I built this for my own use, and I may make up a few more for the other guys here in the Lab. Any of you are welcome to grab the basic idea and make your own. I like leveling my...

    Makin tools

    I'm not a luthier, professional, hobbyist, or otherwise. I am starting to make some tools for a project. I saw how expensive some of the simple tools were online and decided to spend a little time making my own. So far, I've got a fret file and a 3 1/8" radius sanding block. I'm working on a...

    Tools for learning new songs and practice.

    I've been on a 25 year hiatus and I have been trying to get up to speed with new gear and techniques. I used to use a cassette player to figure out my Bass lines, I'd hit the rewind button until my fingers would bleed, I'm still using the same method but now I use my computer or my iPod. I...

    Finally made some proper files to use!

    Setting up and repairing guitars is a favorite hobby of mine, when I'm not recording others at my studio or playing. After a while of using some less-than-ideal tools, and not wanting to fork out the cash for stew mac files, I made my own! I made 3 for leveling, crowning, and beveling. A buddy...

    Build #3 (This time it is actually a bass! 5 string fretless, still mostly hand tools.)

    Edit 7/8/17: Video demoing the instrument is in post #24. My main instruments are tapping instruments (build 1, build 2.) With this build I wanted to build a fretless bass, but I wanted to continue improving on my tapping instrument design. I incorporated some things that may not be ideal...

    Is There A Way To Make Your Own Bridge Cheaply Without Many Tools?

    Hi. I have a bass I defretted and the current bridge is failing me. The strings are way too high above the board. Is there anything that can be done? I do not have much money or tools. It's an Epiphone EB-0. Thanks!

    Fret Leveling/Dressing/Crowning Tools?

    What do you guys use? I've heard things about tools on stewmac,, could I have recommendations on which ones? I want to start doing my own setups, and one of my basses really needs a fret job. Thanks

    Tools needed for some fretwork?

    I have a bass in need of attention (sprouted some sharp frets), so I guess now is as good a time as any to learn :) I have read a few tutorials and watched a few videos, but all regarding guitar, so I was wondering if those specialized in bass would care to give me a hand ordering the correct...

    Recording an instructional, using DI and Pro Tools 8

    I'm looking to record a few instructional videos with just a bass track, and maybe a click track. I know the very basics of recording, but I am still very new to it, and the guides I've found for mixing bass mostly cover a band setting. What are some basic plug-ins and settings you would...

    Does anyone here have any experience with acid etching?

    So I'm starting a new job at the end of the month and had to buy about $120 in hand tools for it. I also bought some letter punches to mark them, but have found that swinging a hammer at my hand with enough force to make an indentation into hardened steel isn't something I have much aptitude...

    Trouble with Presonus Audiobox recognizing Pro Tools
