Playing bass guitar in the garden are we now?
Well la te dah, Mr. Fancypants.
The neighbors love me.
love the simple compact design. imo, add some foam strips to all the contact points. I know it will take away from the aesthetic, but your guitar will be better for it.
Good call. I have some old suede slippers sitting around that I was going to use for strops - but if there's enough material I could use them for this. The bass I made it for contacts the spine at its metal neckplate, so that doesn't need cushioning, but the body does.
If you water the stand regularly, new ukulele‘s will grow. And with the right feed, a bass :)
Not bad, but it's going to put some pressure on the back of the guitar, particularly a hollow or semi-hollow body. If the top part to support the neck was brought forward so that it could make full contact with the neck and keep the back of the guitar from making contact, I think that would be a better setup. You could maybe put a leather strap or something similar between those two pegs to cradle the neck and bring the body forward. On the whole though, I like it, nice job!
Thank you! It was made specifically for a Fender P bass, which is not particularly delicate. I have another one with a different design that I made for my acoustic, but that stand is more of a prototype made out of pine and not as impressive.
I do like the idea of moving the 'head' forward so it cradles the neck. I only just had enough stock to make this (well, without cutting into some bigger, nicer boards) so I didn't have a lot of room for features or experimentation.
Ahhh, nice. Nothing quite matches woodworking for trial and error! I've built a couple myself and each one gets closer to perfect, but not there yet!
Here's what I've got. Nothing too special but I love my Sheraton.
This looks exactly like that Toothless-dancing meme to me lol
It would be improved by some googly eyes.
But then, what wouldn't?
Simple huh? Looks pretty fancy to me...
Or a bow stand! I love it.
I quite like that.
Nice joinery. The tenon with the profiled face is awesome.
I like it
Uhhhh why is it in the garden tho?
Better light outside and the patio was a mess.
