Mosrite bass bridge

I'm doing a different order of operations than usual. I did the neck mounting so I could lay out the bridges. Mainly to make sure the centerline was still the centerline.

Poplar is not very strong, even some pines are stronger. Finish sanding.

Though the partnership lasted only a half-decade, the Ventures have been perpetually associated with Mosrite, as bassist Bob Bogle noted in a interview with VG. The single-pickup example you see here is exactly like the one on the cover of the album The Ventures Knock Me Out! The bodies were basswood, necks were maple, and fretboards were rosewood. Mosrite hooked up with another notable guitarist, Joe Maphis, for a signature series of instruments, and the bass in that aggregation was known as the Mark X Model Combos typically had a maple back and sides, with a thick hardwood top note the bound f-shaped sound hole. The handrest has been removed from the example you see here. Note the similar pickguard silhouettes on the Venture Models, Maphis, and Combos basses. Specifications on the bass in the Celebrity series, as listed in a catalog, show three variants. In the ensuing decades, it opened and closed several production facilities.

Semie Moseley was born on June 13, in Durant, Oklahoma. In Bakersfield, Moseley started playing guitar in an evangelical group at age Semie and his brother Andy experimented with guitars since teen-age years, refinishing instruments and building new necks. Semie built a triple-neck guitar the longest neck was a standard guitar, the second-longest neck an octave higher, the shortest was an eight-string mandolin. Semie Moseley became a master luthier after he apprenticed with Paul Bigsby and later at Rickenbacker with Roger Rossmeisl, a German born jazz guitarist and talented luthier. Semie, who built guitars for the L. After a few years of struggling in Los Angeles trying to turn Mosrite into a mass producing guitar building operation, Semie moved his small operation in Oildale, just outside Bakersfield, California.

Re: Reproduction Mosrite bridges Quote Post by oipunkguy » Sat Jul 17, am it is kinda funny, but I really think this was done on purpose, if you closely examine a mosrite, you will find the hidden M's. If you must be explicit about it, I suggest using a "y" for the "i", for example: "I are a loothyer, I do loothering. Poplar is not very strong, even some pines are stronger. Instead of requiring power, this circuit uses the output of the pickups themselves and therefore should work better with higher output pickups. I think I've figured out how to do everything but the tremolo and the bridges. That will be the next step after I clean out the slot one last time. I'll have to do the switch smarter.

I wiped the body down with mineral spirits to find the spots that needed more sanding, and spent a while filing the edges of the binding slot nice and sharp. You can make a neck out of it, but it takes some care forming the headstock or it will bend. Vintage Mosrite neck mounting uses a neck extension under the bridge pickup. Not as pointy, not as good for metal anymore. I wonder what the difference is? The dry-erase finish is resistant to just about everything, including acetone, but the masonite underneath has problems with water. I need to know the diameter of the saddles for: Bass bridge and 6 string standard. The block in the second pickup rout is not for strength, but to act as a spring guide when installing the pickups.
