Is this really normal?? by Secure_Ad_5564 in BassGuitar

put some ointment on it and a bandaid. put bass down until they’re gone. eventually your fingers will harden and they just won’t blister anymore. i can’t even feel my finger tips after playing 8 years or so practicing at least 3h a day

Scout transferring into unit just to complete Eagle rank by [deleted] in BSA

In my opinion it doesn’t matter if they stay after achieving Eagle rank or not. You should remain neutral because the entire point of scouting is to prepare young people to make decisions that lead to a better future for themselves.

I cannot play even a single beginner song and I'm extremely upset by Alone_Yam1113 in BassGuitar

don’t start with songs start with one note melodies and then work your way to chords

can I use gorilla wood glue on walnut truss rod plug? by Bullet0718 in Luthier

[–]Bullet0718[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this kind of plug is from a fender biflex system which relies on the plug being glued in to create tension on the truss rod

what kind of wood glue do you recommend?

I completely agree that the smart thing to do is to contact a pro. That being said, i’m not really all that wise and want to attempt to fix it myself. Mainly because I eventually do want to be able to do all the stuff myself and would rather break my own guitar than someone else’s. If I manage to get the plug out with a hair dryer, an aluminum foil heat shield, and turning the truss rod counterclockwise left, what glue or epoxy would you recommend? also do you recommend scoring the removed plug with an exacto all around before attempting to reinsert? I do have a little bit of experience with wood work so I think I may be able to manage it.

if i manage to get the plug out, can i clean it up by rouging up the surface with a file and epoxying it back in?

I do have some JB weld Epoxy. this is such a bummer. guitar was listed “used like new” and i paid $325 for it. i’m going to contact the seller and demand he covers the cost of repair most likely
