Three necks for #wipwednesday - first coat of tung oil, at least three more coats to go. At <20% RH it should go reasonably quickly. Once they're oiled up and cured I can attach these to the bodies and start installing hardware.

Slowly?

This is a Fender Precision bass. No, really! A company from the UK called The Painted Player carved and painted the body of a Fender Precision to make it look like the eponymous submarine from the Beatles movie Yellow Submarine. You can tell it's a Precision because of the pickguard shape and the split pickup. Since the normal control cavity has been carved away, the volume and tone knobs are on the bottom of the body. This picture also shows the case for the bass, which has been painted as well.

Current work in progress, just seeing how all the major hardware fits together on this resonator after building all the maple bracing under that lid. It'll be a few weeks before this thing is playable but I'm happy with the result so far.

I want an extension that will remove images of his orange face from my browser

It is! Two boards worth - top for me, bottom for market demos

It's about tone shaping. I'm a builder, not at a performer, so not much mid-song switching happens. I'll be busking for the very first time this summer so that may change - I've never played an actual show and I'm nervous as hell tbh

My pedalboard has grown and evolved in the past month and seems to have undergone meiosis. This is causing a disruption in the workshop - normal building will resume in a few days upon receipt of the proper wood humors and mahogany liniments.

Today's tariff ruling won't change the fact I've been paying extra for nearly everything this past year and I know full well I'll never see that money again, but just knowing that a splatter of thrown ketchup is likely dripping down some gold-colored wall appliques this morning is a nice thought.

More instruments are on the way. Finally. Pictured are three of the five gittys I'm currently working on - shaping and rough sanding is done. Two more are not far behind.

I should be in my workshop but instead have spent the past few days wrapping my brain around this bit of kit I've been sent to review. It handles clean tones amazingly well but getting anything more than a nibble of bluesy grit out of this thing is next to impossible. I'll stick with my pedalboard.

The struggle is real

When this baby hits 88 decibels you're going to hear some serious shit 🎸

From this time last year, "La Brasa" - three strings tuned to DAD, rustic cedar box, and a flame roasted finish with plenty of New Mexico rubbed in

Fair. I'm just providing a potential justification for buying it!

Play it as a lap steel and the lack of cutaway won't matter

I saw this coming well over a year ago and left IG for Bluesky. Meta can kiss my ass and Zuck can pay me for that privilege.

This is just one of many victims that weren't redacted

I had a tube screamer but the DS-1 clone has more bite - which is good because I've been in the mood to play angry music lately *gestures widely at 'murrica*

Very similar to what I'm running - I have a DS-1 clone in front of the Big Muff 2 and into my Orange

I didn't anticipate Fender 150XL extra light guitar strings being in the Epstein files yet here we are

Oh I'm sure it's either sexual or has something weird to do with Freud's mother

If you have to qualify your talking point with the phrase, "I'm not a racist", then you are a racist

I actually had to look up what a Dallas Rangemaster is. Had NO clue. From what I learned even having this handbuilt clone is quite a score!
