Doing Things Wrong

Silvertone 1443 Bass (2/2)

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Poplar is not a beautiful wood

The body is copied off a guitar, not a bass, which would have a slightly longer upper horn. The GFS neck had a crooked heel, which placed the entire neck at an angle that the bridge could not manage. Once I realized that, I fixed it on the belt sander.

Polyurethane - UV-Cure

I stumbled across this stuff online, and it looked so incredible that I impulse-bought a quart. A finish that you can smear on with a sponge and cure in 3 minutes with sunshine? That cuts finishing time from months to weeks to one day !!!
