5.0 out of 5 stars A good read. Well done Dave

This is a well put together story. Lots of seemingly unconnected plot lines all come together in a very satisfying conclusion.
5.0 out of 5 stars A real page-turner
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2024
With this ingenious basis for a mystery story, D K Dickens has has come up with a plot that will keep you riveted till the last page. Unputdownable.
TH-cam comment: I've read it and really enjoyed it, a real page-turner. It's got everything, romance, gangsters, nasty big Corp, suspense all wrapped up in a great plot. You might know that a musician and guitar maker would also make a great author. Well done!

To fix the volume turning both pickups off, switch the hots coming from the pickups to the middle lug of the pot and wire the “top” lug to the tip out on the jack socket. In other words, just swap the non-grounded connections on the pots. Now each pot will only turn off the pickup connected to it.
It looks great and the tone sounds amazing considering it’s just coming through the mic.
Thank you for the wiring advice , it’s so obvious and yet I completely missed it 🤪.
Turned out beautiful Dave, thanks for spreading the word of the guitar builders collective and more importantly the Jurgs cup
I hope more folk take up the challenge particularly those wo are considering building their first guitar. Cheers Dave
This has been a great series! Thank you for the soldering tutorial in this episode.
My pleasure, thank you. Cheers Dave
Thoughly enjoyed this build, you've made a beautiful bass Dave
Thank you for your kind words and for watching! Cheers Dave
Congratulations on yet another **beautiful** build!! And kudos for the BT conversion of the old iPhony docking speaker! Can't wait for your next 'brainstorm' to take shape!! Blessed Be, & Peace! 🙏☮
Thank you! Cheers Dave
Very cool, Dave--you are a magician!
Thank you! Oops I hope this guitar is not going to disappear 😂. Thank you for your kind words and for watching. Cheers Dave
Oh my, that's one of the most beautiful bases I've seen! Gratulations!
Wow! Thank you very much, greatly appreciated. Cheers Dave
Excellent Dave, a long journey but well worth the effort.
Most definitely worth the effort as is any guitar build of course! Cheers Dave
Another awesome build Dave. Really enjoyed watching this build series. I found it such a rewarding experience building in the Jurg's cup this time. Great to see so many other awesome builds like yours in Jurg's memory.
Thank you! I haven’t had a chance to watch other folk’s build so now I have some time I will pop across to your channel! Cheers Dave
Hi, Dave, really pretty and unique instrument, congrats!
Thank you! Cheers Dave
The bass has turned out really nice. I've really enjoyed this build series, thank you
Thank you for joining me on this epic journey, its been fun! Cheers Dave
Great build, Dave! And some good lessons for me along the way. I think I’m glad you spared us the footage of redoing the wonky pickup. 😂

Yes me and central holes don't seem to go together well. Thank you for watching! Cheers Dave
It looks pretty nice and does sounds good.
Thank you, am really pleased with the tone from those single coil pups. Cheers Dave
Turned out beautifully, Dave. Well done.
Thank you! Cheers Dave
Very nice Dave. As always
Thank you! Cheers Dave
Bass looks great Dave, I’m sure Jurgen would say that and more complimentary things
One little note the bass tuners have a little hole in the middle of the split section, you can cut the string and then stick the rest in the hole and tune up
But if what you’ve done works don’t change it 🤞🏼
Well I didn't know that! Thanks Corey I will poke the end in the hole in future. Thank you for all the work you do for the challenge! Cheers Dave
Once again, it looks amazing! Keep doing Dave things!
Thank you! Cheers Dave
fantastic bass, Dave. i love the design. i love the way you did the wiring without using a control cavity on the back. you play a good bass too.
Thank you! Cheers Dave
Dave the bass turned out beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers Dave
Lovely bass, you've done Jurgs proud. I recently lost the plot trying to wire up a bass too! I'm gonna have to make a separate video just for that!
Thanks Chris! That wiring mistake I made is so obvious but I missed it 😜ah well another Dave moment 😂 cheers Dave
Well done Dave
Thank you! Cheers Dave
Really nice result Dave, sounds great and looks the biz with the black hardware.
Thank you! Cheers Dave
Nice lightweight bass Dave. Good work.
Thank you. It is a little neck heavy but I have left the neck fairly chunky. I rather it be stable. Cheers Dave
Looks and sounds great Dave 👍
I was really pleased with the tone the positions of those single coil pickups give a great jazz tone. Cheers Dave
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers Dave
Dave, that’s ace. Both looks and sounds fabulous. That’s a good idea with the split shaft pots. I usually position the retaining screw directly into the split which works well, but I do like the idea of a shim. Anyway, great job!
Thank you! Cheers Dave
I highly recommend a stepped cutter for making holes in sheet material. They're not too expensive these days either.
Thank you for the tip! I want to focus on the travel guitar pre amp next I will be in touch. Cheers Dave
Great result, Dave. sounds and looks great
Thank you! Cheers Dave
Gorgeous, sounds and looks really great!
Thank you! Cheers Dave
Absolutely beautiful, Dave. Seems to work perfectly. I know that feeling when you try it for the first time and it doesn't work and you know you are going to have to take it all apart to find the problem. Congratulations on a wonderful build. Liked your book. Sequel?
Thank you and thank you for reading the book. I have an idea for a sequel but it may take a while. Cheers Dave
nice bass, and nice series
Thank you! Cheers Dave
Nice bass
Thank you
Hi Dave... re controls, Personally i would have had a blend control for pickup selection, and a master volume. MInd you I would also have a low pass tone control as well, but that would mean another pot. But the bass looks great, and glad to see my trepidation about strength of the body were unwarranted.
Wow!! That is such a beautiful bass. Outstanding job. If you ever want to sell it, just reply here 😊. I’m sure you have something in the back of your mind as to your next project. Hint, hint. 😊
Thank you! Cheers Dave
🤘💙👍
