Doing Things Wrong

So Far, So Good

I started assembling the Mosrite, finally. The routs are all so precise that I had to spend quite a while filing polyurethane out of them to make the neck and pickups fit again. Then I had to chisel out the pit for the output jack. You can see my solution for grounding the four individual bridges - a strip of aluminum tape, the same stuff as on the back of the dry-erase pickguard.

And it all fits together, and I'm going to bed. I'll assemble the neck tomorrow.


This is a stand you see in a lot of the photos. I cobbled it together from scrap and a dollar's-worth of self-adhesive felt. The neck support is just a padded bolt that adjusts up and down on either side. The stand fits everything from the most bloated Jazz bass body to my smallest Audiovox. It is not a secure stand by any means, just a temporary support for photography. The angle avoids most reflections.
