Re: A short scale guitar gave me this visual arts idea
Made another, a bigger red one. Spraying nitrocellulose in freezing temperature was exciting.

Re: My new band - music now available!
Also, have to add that the album art works great and sticks out even in tiny spotify.

Re: Bullet Mustang Project
Beautiful. I enjoy seeing squiery nods towards classic-era Fenders.

A short scale guitar gave me this visual arts idea
Hello all. This is most likely the only place I'm going to share this. Feels kinda strange, but here it is; My work environment as many modern offices (and homes, i guess) is very minimalistic, newly refreshed and white. Also, colourful objects tend to be of the throwaway-plastic kind. Nothing one f...

Re: Please help define Americana?
It may be the profit motivation is not necessarily part of a definition because IMHO most Americana musicians 1) ply the genre for love of the music and 2) have only a rare chance of making a living income. Exactly as you state it. If someone had merely a hunger for profits and their music would in...

Re: Dano-style bass for kids
Well, in favour of the strat, they are easy to fix, and easier to cannibalise together. And that presents teachable moments. I spend a fair bit of of my break and lunchtimes teaching other guitar nerds how to take apart and fix strats. Yes, and they have a cool factor among some teens. I prefer tel...

It looks so fancy I need sunglasses, and also getting an urge to pour a glass of red and just watch it.

Re: Dano-style bass for kids
Love the idea of a rubber foot. I think about this a lot, as I teach guitar to 400 different children across a two week timetable. Things get trashed (except for Roland Cubes, which I'm yet to encounter a dead one of). I try to think of ways that I would cut out non-essential features to make thing...

Re: Dano-style bass for kids
Heres the feet and the controls. Tone is very tight so they dont do stuff with it. I plan on playing country tic tac with this so might need the tone. It sounds very much like a dano baritone, which it kinda is.

Re: Dano-style bass for kids
It is almost as short as the 1448 which is itself tiny, and a guitar. And smaller.

Re: Dano-style bass for kids
Textile tape cost one euro. Will be enough for 30 basses. Painted a friends tele black years ago, leftovers were spent here. Neck is finished with shellac that was left from a chair renovation I did.

Re: Dano-style bass for kids
Had a dano bridge, and thought I would need two, so built another one. The are almost a hundred dollars now, wont pay that. But as often happens, a cheap Fender-clone was better so this was all in vain.
As a Fender fanboy, had to make a neck stamp.

Re: Dano-style bass for kids
Cut the wood for two. Assumed most things would go wrong with the first one so good to have a spare.

Dano-style bass for kids
I teach bass among a multitude of jobs. I have a Gretsch junior jet bass for kids, but it is too heavy for most children under twelve. Kids love Hofners, but they are a wee bit fragile, and did not trust my club bass with them many times. Danelectros are hard to come by, reissues are solid body (=he...

Re: pictures of your shortscales
Beautiful Mustangs. Is the worn one matching headstock gold or what? Really cool. Thanks- it’s a heavily worn in competition orange that supposedly spent the first 40 years of its life in the good behavior room of a prison. There’s still remnants of the red comp stripe on the side by the strap butt...

Also, my -64MM is 22,5” A and -71MM 24” B.
The -64 is thin at the nut but quickly baseballbats itself by the seventh fret. A cool, albeit strange neck.
