thanks for the pro tip, I eventually got it right.

Nut to bridge is 34 inches for a jazz bass guitar.

How much distance should there be from the edge of the E string to the edge of the neck and the edge of the G string to the edge of the neck? Thanks!

Add a strip of sandpaper to your straight edge to prevent movement.

PBS, Nature series is one of the best documentaries ever conceived. A gigantic thank you to All the contributors over all these years. You have brought joy to many viewers. Lastly, God bless George Page!

Never built a bass or guitar yet, I was thinking of using a long straight edge against both sides of the neck to transfer bridge location? I think its cool that your giving the end result away, good for you!

Hello, has this ever been used on a classical acoustic guitar ( or nylon or metal strings)? How is it attached? Does the top of the guitar have to be drilled into? or is it stuck on with something like contact cement?. Does it muffle the sound from an acoustic guitar? Can the pick guard be used percussion wise to drum on or does the leather dampen any drum beat? When playing does the thickness matter in terms of it being too high and close to the strings? Curious because trying to figure out how to use this for sound and handling of the guitar purposes?

I use the new blade from a wood plane. It's thick and straight.

Way to many steps and to complicated. There's much easier ways to do this.

Thanks for that info is great even for people that just play to see if a guitar is right

Useless as tits on a frog lmao 😂

This is one of the worst ideas I've ever seen. You're treating the bass neck like it's a table leg. Please don't do this people. The neck pocket needs some maple shims glued into the sides and then it gets pared down to a tight joint with hand chisels and sandpaper blocks.

I'm looking for one!

Fuck me running up the stairs why in the sam hell do you have this butt fucking porn music dubbed in the background? What makes you possibly think that this somehow makes already shitty video better? Seriously man dump the gay porno music its not helping any!

Howdy,just subscribed from New Zealand.. Cool content very educational..✌

Would a new razor blade itself not work also?

I'd rather learn how to measure scale length from someone who isn't learning how in the vid.

sad to see no new vids since that giveaway

Very informative thank you so much 🐵👌

With all due respect, based on what you showed here, I wouldn't even think of using your fret rocker. Why? Because the edges have to be perfectly flat. There's another video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGHIdI15hLeJocU showing how metal fret rockers from cheap to very expensive are almost all not perfectly flat and the guy who made the video tells about how using them screwed up the frets on jobs he did so much so that he ended up having to re-fret two guitars. If an expensive stainless steel Stemac fret rocker doesn't even have flat edges, yours certainly doesn't. Amazinging, he bought a pile of fret rockers and threw most of them away because the edges weren't perfectly flat when he easily dould have lapped them to perfect flatness. That said, you just mentioned sanding the edges but you didn't show how you did it. Just rubbing sandpaper on the edges would not make them straight. What you should do is place very fine sandpaper on a perfectly flat surface such as glass or granite and lapping the edges to perfect flatness. You left out that step which is absolutely necessary and it's the critical step in making or fixing even a new metal fret rocker. Beyond that, I would never cut the fret rocker out with a jig saw (actually a scroll saw). If you just sanded the edges of your fret rocker, I can almost guarantee that using it will mess up the frets on a guitar. And I would NEVER make a fret rocker out of anything but stainless steel.

Any issues with the leather delaminating from the plastic ?

"Oh hey! Finally an useful video!" *Uses imperial McBurger-by-baldeagle system* "Fuq, Iam not gonna re-calculating that..."

The length is 25.5" from inside the nut on the high E string to the trailing edge of the high E saddle edge with some play for adjustments on the inside edge of the adjustable saddle so you don't roll into the saddles block that's on the e strings nut side .

Bet it looks different now lol

stellar commentary appreciate the help :)))

Like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWSlaoNngtlqrtE

WHy didn't you just find the center line of the neck pocket and use a straight edege to the bottom of the bass for your center line for the bridge. THen use the measurement of the bottom of the neck heel and and use that measurement at the centerline of the bridge to center the bridge. Use a pencil and your making it way too complicated.

..more like Guitar Goober, Lol. Love your background music though

Cara as dicas são boas mas você enrola pra caramba.. de qualquer forma obrigado.

Love the idea.

Awesome, now I have to check out some more of your videos

Confused. Where did the first 2 screws go into the neck ? You drilled on an angle. I understand the 4 for neck plate.

Goomba Do you see any problem with using the tele body paired with a bass guitar neck ? Ciao Ray

Muslady is a new brand of Mosky Audio.

THE CHANGES YOU ARE ABOUT TO MAKE WILL MAKE A BIG DIFF IN CABLE ROUTING AND ELIMINATING ANY CHANCE OF BREAKING THE OUTPUT JACK OFF, MAKES IT EASIER TO DRILL STRAIGHT FOR GROUND WIRE TO BRIDGE ALSO

Have the same kit n didnt have all those issues lol. Ohh btw drill a ground wire under the bridge single coils need it.

You talk about giving the guitars but all you do is speak about how cheap everything is. No interest in your channel...you seem more interested in watching yourself....

he's alive! man I was kind of worried that something happened! glad to see you're alive. hope the whole garage thing goes well. we all miss the videos. good luck with everything!

Its been so long, glad your back

New garage/office/playroom = 1st World Problems. Also, I went through the rules again and I don''t understand how you see only 1 qualifying entrant.
