If you buy one of those preferred necks from MGB , let me know how it works out….getting ready to head to China for 2 weeks, so not much time before trip to work on guitars

Thanks for the comment Uncle John, Best thing about the bridges, easy to make and adjustable.
Thanks for the feedback on my latest build. You posted before I completed the details, so I could not get back to your comments via the email links. The yellow parts do seem to contrast nicely with the darker wood color. The winding sound holes are intended to be the outline of my version of a violin bass body. Trying something different visually.
Thanks John, if you learn of tutorial on bass, let me know. Thanks and Glory to God!

Oklahoma 1936 License Plate #134-651 By John Bolton
I was made in late 1935 in the Oklahoma State Prison at Mc Alester. I was black with yellow letters. I was issued in Goodland County in 1936 and bolted on the rear of a gray and black 31' Ford coupe with a rumble seat. I couldn't see where we were going, but when the dust wasn't too bad, I could see where we'd been.
The Ford belonged to Gibson. He had a place in…
