The use of power tools obviously makes your bass play out of tune. I mean, think about it: When was the last time you heard a bass-player playing out of tune on an instrument which had never been touched by power tools?

It is possible that a power tool could stress the wood, thus damaging some of the closer molecules.

No, there is no difference between using a sharp hand-powered blade to rip through wood and doing the same using electric power.

My house would probably disagree, but there you go.

Well, it's really the difference between a house and a home - like Gaia mythology. I used power tools to prepare my house for painting (about five years ago) and did a thorough job. I think I might have hurt the house because the paint blistered badly. Is it possible that my house had become a home and taken on some of the sensitivity of those who live there? Well, Arnold, you did ask.

What does this have to do with Basses or this thread?

Joel? Any possibility of posting some pics of this Hillman Bass? It would most definitely help pout this thread back on track.
