As it turns out, 3 degrees really isn't that big a deal!

this should be an extremely easy playing instrument

how does this layout "eye up" to your LP bass body/neck unit?

Heard the one about the constipated mathematician...? ;D

A pointed question, indeed.   :rimshot:

i have come to think any comments about food, sex (any kind or deviation), body functions or cross dressing as a sign of approval in this place

This brings a new meaning to the term "thread crapping."

I'm building a neck angle jig for it.  Will post my progress this weekend.

OK, progress is real slow this week.  The wife had foot surgery and I've been playing nurse since Thursday.  In between that and work, I've been working in the shop to create my neck angle jig.  I have motives for doing this as I will also use it to do other angles for tailpieces, etc.  I even have an idea for an entirely angled body.  Could use it to create a center plate like that on reverse birds.  I'm about 80% finished.  I have some nifty items for making it adjustable (height of body, width of neck, neck angle)  that I'll be doing as I go along.  Guess who's first on the jig?

I hope your wife has a fast and full recovery. I remember you telling me she was going to have surgery earlier last week when we talked.

The jig looks great and I noticed some threaded inserts laying on the table top. Good on both counts. This is progressing very nicely indeed.

When I bought the tailpiece from Hipshot, the mananger included some new ferrules and washers for the black ultralite tuners I bought off of Mark; the tuners might get changed when the bass shows up here.

 :) :)

Cool deal on the tuner parts!  The wife is doing fine.  Just bored form laying around all day and night.

I hit a snag on the jig.  The boards I was using for the router arms are slightly warped and I can't get them trued to save my life.  I'm knocking off for the day and going to the lumber yard tomorrow for some decent wood.

Here's how things are shaping up...............
