Thank you. I like the “efficient perimeter vision”.

I personally don’t like anything in the middle of the room because I will run into it(my stool is the only thing that floats around the room), and with such small space you need room to move. When I built out, and still am, I go with the mindset of how can I make the most out of the perimeter of the room? you can build benches all the way around!

Thanks for the valuable insights @petekatsaros ! We’re kinda in the same game related to space…
Another question that pops up from what you mention; would you consider using the middle of the workshop for a ‘clean’ work bench or would that make it all to ‘crowded’ (I know it’s personal, but better ask people with more experience.
I bought an…

Hey @ianloothgroup-com , thanks so much for your advice. The bench top real estate resonates and you’re right. It makes me think more about shelves and stuff like that. And thank you so much for that go-bar design, that’s something I’ll definitely give a try! Valuable!

Yes, the roller is what we’re after. The question is really if the top of the guitar can handle the extra pressure and mounting screws. Do they need to be screwed into the internal braces?
That said, without doing a complete setup, just adjusting the neck and action to measurements I like seems to keep the strings in the saddles with…

I would try straightening the neck and see what happens. Did it buzz prior to set-up?

It could be a bad string, but 34″ low B strings can be a pain. Not sure if it would fix your exact problem, but one thing I’ve learned helps is increasing the nut break angle with a string retainer. I like these Stealth string retainers from Fender. https://www.fender.com/en-US/parts/string-guides-nuts/stealth-bass-string-retainer/0078972049.html?

Gosh, thanks so much for getting back. Ya, checked the saddle, break angle, etc. smoothed for fun. Changed out strings. Nothing seems to work. A tough one.

Hey Robbert,
As Ian said benchtop space is premium. I work in a 12×16 space. I have a drill press on the floor, benchtop band saw and combo sander on top of one bench(they are easy enough to move out of the way). Below the bench I use a good shop vac as dust collection. I also use the empty space avaialable as a go-bar deck. I have cubbies…

Hey, Tony,
I would check the string itself, meaning the ball end is seated, the break on the saddle looks ok(no ball end winds breaking over it). If you have another bass string laying around I would swap it out too just to see, sometimes strings are just bad out of the package, not common, but it happens.
