Robert, I feel you deserve a more comprehensive response than I'm giving you, but THANK YOU!

It comes with one jack, but it's a stereo jack, not mono. There is a little switch on the circuit board that changed between two modes. First, the magnetic and the piezo are blended on to the tip of the connector. Second, the magnetic is on the tip and the piezo is on the ring so you can send it to a different amp if you like.

Thank you Robert!

Don't know the exact number but I'm using a 2 ton bottle jack maxed out and if you skimp on the pressure the veneers wont be totally flat but have some ripples. I'm told you can do this with a vacuum bag but I don't have personal experience with this.

Thank you Sir!

In this case it’s not about the total number of electrons a particular atom has, but if it’s outer layer, (or is it ring?) is full with no empty spaces so a different atom can’t plug into those spaces and attach/react.

Thanks Jeff, Sorry we didn't cross paths while you were in town.

@@GrezGuitarshopefully soon then

Thank you!

I am. It should be listed as an option on the main Mendocino page. Call or email to discuss.

I completely agree with your point and was of course aware, but these are the two versions I make and a person might choose between so I think it's a useful comparison between the things that exist vs a scientific experiment where all aspects remain exactly the same with only one variable changed (scale length). Would be a fun experiment though!

@@GrezGuitars Hi, I failed to check the channel name so didn't realise you were the luthier when I posted earlier! I went straight to your website after seeing this video and so have a better appreciation of your work. With these things in mind, I'm 100% with you on the purpose/scope of the video which I think is pitched just right for potential customers. So.. when you positioned the bridge on the short scale version, was that primarily for packaging compactness reasons, aesthetics, tone.. or any other reason/combination of reasons..? I realise sometimes things just design themselves and we just tag along but I'm curious because as a design concept, the instruments as a pair appear more than the sum of both, if that makes sense..? I like that the pickups are in the same position on both - it's a beautifully [visually] balanced design and I wouldn't have messed with it either. I can't help thinking though that, from my limited exposure, all the design decisions you made (and changes you have not made) have collectively brought out the best qualities and character of each instrument. While they look obviously very similar, they are less obviously optimised separate designs which is pretty cool. I'm not 100% sure I'm making any sense outside of my own head but if I was shopping for a bass right now, I would be seriously tempted by either; or even both.

@@flannel2699 The short scale was first and it was inspired by the Danelectro Short Horn Bass so that set up some of the size/scale length/bridge position details. In the end it doesn't sound exactly like the Dano but it hopefully invokes that vibe. When the long scale came, keeping the body, pickup position and string anchor in the same place, works visually and, it creates a slightly more "bridgy" sound as you point out. This lets me double down on the more articulate sound from the longer scale and from the pickup positions in relation to that scale.

@@GrezGuitars Ah, I got it half right/wrong and backwards but it makes sense either way. I wasn't familiar with the Dano bass until just now and I think I prefer the body shape of your's and the cleaner no-scratch-plate look. Also your's both sound great back to back.. If I had to pick one though I think I'd go for the shorty, both for the tone and the ease of playing. Thanks for your time..

and that means What?

Sorry but the templates and jigs are not for sale at this moment.

Yes, generally the short scale is sort of fatter sounding and the long scale more brash.
