Regardless, they are used as synonyms regularly. You “build” model kits, even though in actuality you are assembling them. You “rebuild” engines even though you’re really just putting together parts. I can understand the confusion, particularly if ESL.

Yeah, but I was trying to describe the bass I want to construct earlier and this is it. If anyone knows someone with it, please get me in contact. I would like them to trace the body and send me the stencil for it. Cort used to make them in the 80’s. I should have bought one then.

That might work. Need to measure - there is the chance a Sire and Squier have different spacing on the screws

@EddieJones The Thumb Spot has a couple of adhesive type 3D-printed universal thumb rests, plus one for Ernie Ball OLP Stingray 4 Bass which attaches to existing screws (no idea if the last one would work with your Sterling Ray 34).
There’s also ThumbRocker, which is smaller. Also 3D printed, and most screw on.

I didn’t know it, but now that you verbalized it, I think that’s been a guiding rule in my life…

Not a bass at all, almost an anti-bass … but still 4 strings ! well, 2x 4 strings …
I was not sure where to post this, but I wanted to show it for some folks who might be interested. Here is a 80-90 years old Vesuvian mandolin that I just restored. A few things were done, including frets leveling, carving a nut from scratch, re-glueing the back …
Finally it’s a very nice instrument, much better than what I expected. It sounds really good, it has the rich deep tone of the teardrop oval-hole mandolins, that I prefer over the more commun (in bluegrass/americana at least) F-hole Gibson-style ones. The neck is perfectly straight and aligned. It’s in a really impressive condition for its age !
