5 string bass guitar
raynerd:
Thanks for the link Tim - it is on my to-do list! Need to get this clock build first.
John - A Bandit 112 is what I also use - quality amp and you can pick them up cheap second hand now. I had one years and years ago then sold it. Managed to buy one for £35 on flebay about 3 years ago. I like metal and heavy rock in terms of playing (not so much listening to these days) and I think it has a pretty decent sound with both the thrash and gain buttons depressed. Also nice reverb and crisp on clean! Good Amp for the cash!

Well I managed to find a couple more pics of the build, sadly only a few from just one stage of the build, I guess I wasnt as hot on taking in-progress pics back then.
Anyway, here they are, this is probably about half-way thru the build.
These are taken after attaching the body to the neck but before cutting the fretboard slots or attaching the fretboard to the neck or routing the recesses for the pickups.
I looked thru every one of my old photos but could not find any others of the build :( , but feel free to ask anything about the build process and I'll try to answer.

Tim,
At least now you know that you need to take pics of your projects as you go or we won't leave you alone. :poke:
BTW, how does a guitar like this pick up sound since it isn't hollow? I'm a complete dummy when it comes to musical instruments. :coffee:

Bernd,
Its the job of the pickup coils to reproduce the sound of the strings.....into electrical signals...
I tried to explain but it sound like I was taking the michael so I shortened my post

So your talking about something similar to a microphone picking up the vibrations of the strings and then going through an amplifier to make the sounds louder?
How close am I?
