Set up an account at www.photobucket.com and load your pics on there.
Once you do that, there should be a few script lines underneath the picture you just loaded. I forget what it's titled, but just copy the line that starts with a bracket then img then another bracket. Paste it here and that should post your picture on here.

or use http://www.flickr.com instead.

here are a couple of pics of the tb500 copy i made [IMG]http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a259/gse1/Im000308.jpg[/IMG][/img]

sorry heres the other

Looks great! Excellent work man! How did you design it retro-engineer from an original or from plans found online?

hanks. only had photos to go by as far as looks go. the rest of the info i got from a couple of articles on the unnoficial travis bean website. theres enough info in those articles on how and what they were made from. the 6061 aluminium is pretty easy to get and work with. couldnt find koa wood in australia so just used australian blackwood which apparently is pretty similar.

Great, I'm interested how you mounted the pickups. On a Travis its done quite strangely.

just mounted from top. through pick up into the aluminium. the bass player in my band has a travis bass, the pickups appear to be mounted through the back of the neck into the pickup. guessing other beans are done this way.
