    Do you wait? Or do you dive right in?

    A number of guitar/bass companies will include a sticker on the outside of the shipment saying something to the effect of “Don’t open your new guitar for 24 hours.” They want the new axe to acclimate to its new climate gradually. My question is, do you wait? Do you throw caution to the wind? Or...

    POLL: Do colder temps make your basses go sharp or flat?

    With winter approaching the northern hemisphere, I'm just curious to read how the colder temps and lower humidity affects your wood-necked basses -- does it make the pitch of the strings go sharp or flat? I've had basses that go sharp... and I've had others that go flat. Even the graphite...

    Thank you, Winter Buildoffers

    It's been both a pleasure and inspiring to witness these basses gestate, proceed into infancy, and then spring into amazing adulthood. Again, thank you.

    In Honor Of The Winter Olympics Show Your Korean Made Basses

    Watching the opening ceremonies last night and hearing them talk about South Korea's high levels of technology and manufacturing got me thinking. My two favorite basses were made there! So lets see your MIK basses!

    Winter Olympics 2018

    I have been in to the Olympic games since I was a kid and always try to watch as much as I can. Opening Ceremonies are tomorrow night! Who's ready to watch 2.5 weeks of winter Olympics and what are your favorite sports? It's hard for me to pick favorites but I would probably say downhill...

    Winter Build Off 2018 - Idle Hands are the Devil's Walnut

    Well, we're still in January, and I find myself waiting all day for the epoxy, and soon the clear coat, to dry on my Diva build. So I figured I'd start a walnut Devil bass build. I already posted the wood pile, but I'll post it here again just for consistency. Walnut Devilbass by mapleglo...

    Winter Build-Off: The Damned Thing

    (name courtesy of Ambrose Bierce, thx) Using scavenged walnut from our local arts-reuse center, The Scrap Exchange. I plan for a fairly long-gauge fretless 2 or maybe 3-string. Since I have only rebuilt guitars and bass guitars thus far, this should be a hoot. Unless I have to douse it in gas...

    Winter 2018 Build Off - The Wingnut or Aint nut'n but a wang

    If I finish this one in time it'll be a new record for me, but I have some hope as a wingbass is somewhat simpler than a full scale bass. And that is what I'm building, a fretless wingbass. Here's my woodpile: And here's the basic design, front and back I might throw some veneers in...

    Winter Coat Recommendations?

    So it looks like me and my wife will be moving to Canada (Montreal, specifically) later this year. As someone who has always lived in the American southeast, I've never really needed a serious winter coat that's equipped for frigid temps. I'm not really sure where to start looking, and I know...

    Wood will arrive tomorrow for the 'official' kick off but you know how it is when you get excited for a project...

    Winter is here... how do I smooth out fret tang?

    My Precision was butter smooth when I bought it in late summer but now winter is here and the frets are poking out. Not enough to get hung up on or get sliced open but... how can I flatten them back down without ruining the rosewood finish?
