All right! Looks like I am scrapping this project. I don't have the right tools to make this an enjoyable experience. The Bronco bass is going to be a test piece for my refinishing skills and it looks like I'll be talking to cooterfinger for some custom parts to make my guitar.

So, I guess this ...

This is an April fools joke. I know that.

I'm still sore over that.

I have used water, mineral oil, and baby oil. Baby oil is way the best. But it does have a strange smell.

Level with 800, smooth with 1200, buff with 1500, shine with 2000. Gloss with car polish and a tee shirt. I don't know if those are the best terms, but that's what I do. 800 takes out the dips ...

All of these things sound delicious.

The pickup is repainted with triceratops bone dust.
That's all that I can think of right now.

I'm definitely lining up both of the aforementioned books in my amazon cart.

If you've got some photoshop experience, you can always buy the waterslide paper and make the decal yourself. It is a lot easier than you'd think.

Disregard my statements. Dave seems like he has it more together than I.

Have you placed a 6 string neck into that Bass neck pocket yet? You will have to cut or modify the body to make it look any good, otherwise you will have a hangover on the neck side that you do not need or want.

Ah, yes, I've thought about that. I'm sorry that I didn't articulate my idea more ...

These responses have been great! Thanks a ton, guys.

I had never seen any sort of thing like this with any business until GFS did it. I was a little impressed.

I've been there The art world didn't like my print of a pooping homeless man in a wasteland setting, captured with a pinhole camera and framed with wasteland materials.

I haven't seen a snail in the wild around my home in so many years! I am envious.

I'd be pretty cautious about tapping them with a hammer. That could deform the fret, surely. If you put a block of wood between the fret and the hammer, that would be best. Also, for some reason, the term "dead blow" comes to mind when I think about what hammer to use, but I don't really know why ...

I've never really done much with recording music digitally. I think it's because I'm too cheap to buy programs and new equipment. I use an old 4-track tape recorder for most things.

You've probably decided by now, but the coral colour is telling me to tell you that it is awesome.

I like the combo! Reminds me of Rockin' Halloween.

I'm a 1-ply sort of guy myself and probably would have went with plain white. Yours looks much more fun.

Hi, guys! Thanks for checking out my first post! I might be new here, but I think I have a project that will prove interesting to some of you.

I want to turn my recently acquired Squier Bronco bass guitar into a 6-string guitar I can call my own. I'm not sure why but lately I've been craving not ...
