![]() nice clamps Reuben. Suggest you put a bolt through the glued-up neck of the clamp, for longevity, otherwise they'll pull apart one day when you tighten up and need it most!

![]() Good idea I need to make few more for the bass bar

![]() Is that Bass Bar in with the grain up and down or at an angle to the grain? I can't tell from these pictures. Also, how thick is that Bar?

May be u can see the bass bar grain better in this picture: ![]() The bass bar grain is parallel to the top grain, I have to shave the hump a little to do the edges, anyways it will be replace by a new bar. I will tell you later how tick it is |

![]() If it was there already or an integral Bar, take it out. The new Bar needs to be at a slight angle. There is a formula for that but can't recall it also, most guys have their own way but not straight as for one, it wont do as good a job and two, straight with grain will promote cracks along the Bar.

![]() Looks like a pretty good SP patch to me ... well done! I find doing a SP patch is one of the most satisfying repairs to do.
Is that a crack near the bottom end of the bass bar, running into the bass bar? If so I think that spot might be a candidate for a small inlay patch as well. |

PS. its runs about an inch in the bar, yes I think I may do a inlay patch also there, can you see the crack on post #151 picture? |
#135

![]() yep that's the one. But careful, you'll have much less depth to deal with, only 6-7mm. It's possibly overkill, but I'd do it.

![]() I say this bar is glue on to the top , for some reason I not 100% sure
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
#137
|

|

![]() yes 100% sure it's glued, otherwise the grain lines would match. But note, it's a very close/almost invisible glue join ... that's what you need to achieve with your new bar!
|
#138
|
|||
|
|||
![]() Yes they did a good job on that join, fact its hard to tell other that the grain doesnt match 100%
|
#139
|

|
||||
![]() On that pic you can see 100% the bas is NOT the Top but a separate Bar.
