if there are any questions after reading those threads, id post in here, and all the kids here who have made their own kicks can clarify minute details.
i remember when i made my first kicks, I was like "what the heck is backstrapping? every kick site talkes about it, but noone says what it IS!"
find it at any hardware store. looks like a roll of tape, only the tape is 1/8" or so thick aluminum with a hole in it every inch or so. the most useful stuff ever
most definitely most usefull stuff ever. I use it for everything, gauge mounting rings, radio brackets, straps to hold bass knobs, securing cd changers, theres nothing it cant do!
I do still have the pics, but people dont wnat to see these. they were like my third fiberglass project ever. they spilled out over the door sills, and were carpeted with the carpet facing backwards. the stage was too narrow, sat a touch low (I later found out that was more a factor of my height than actual low stage) and was unfocused.
ill send the pics along if you wanna meet me in chat, mega, but really, its not anything fancy. we are talking a caveman's tutorial on how to make a kickpanel.
