How do you make a mold from kids' handprints in a concrete slab that can't be moved?
Clean the concrete very well. Make a small wooden frame around the hand print (1 ft sq) should be big enough. Spray the concrete with non-stick frying pan spray (or other release agent). Mix plaster or mortar and pour into frame. Let set. Lift off hardened material and remove frame. This can be used as a "negative" to make other prints.
Does Fender make a guitar neck with Brazilian rosewood?
Fender Guitar Co. did make Stratocasters, Telecasters and other models in their line which had a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard laminated to a Maple neck. The most desirable of these were manufactured in the mid late 1950s into early 1960s, before Leo Fender sold the company to CBS records circa 1965-66. They were known unofficially as 'Slab Boards' for their thick rosewood component as opposed to 'Veneer' which was a later, thinner version. Slab boards are recognizable at the nut and but end of the neck where the rosewood to maple joint appears as a straight line, not a curve matching the fingerboard radius. 1965 L series Stratocasters are considered among the best sounding Slab Boards and command prices in the Tens of Thousands of dollars in clean original condition. In 1968 Brazilian Rosewood supplies declined worldwide and production dwindled accordingly. Later necks were fitted with Indian Rosewood, which can be lighter, less dark chocolate in overall color, and has a characteristic open grain structure at the surface. Modern, high end Custom Shop examples claim to be available in limited editions with 'Brazilian Rosewood' but whether it is true Dalbergia Nigra, or a similar looking species from Madagascar, rather than Brazil is difficult to determine. Due to it's scarcity, it is unlikely that all the examples of quartersawn, straight grained Brazilian Rosewood that have been turning up are genuine. Dalbergia Nigra has close relatives not on the endangered list, which look and act identically to Brazilian Rosewood. Tree species experts have a hard time determining one from the other in the lab. *If you travel, be aware that Customs Agents worldwide are able to seize anything they care to identify as being on the endangered list: Brazilian Rosewood, Ivory, Abalone & etc., and proving your particular case to be otherwise is nearly impossible on the spot. Exotic look a likes are just as easy targets as original endangered species. Agents generally do not distinguish between items manufactured before bans went into effect. -David Rizzuti Somerville, MA
Where did the double bass originate from?
In the 1930s, inventor Paul Tutmarc from Seattle, Washington, developed the first guitar-style electric bass instrument that was fretted and designed to be held and played horizontally. The 1935 sales catalogue for Tutmarc's company, Audiovox, featured his "electronic bass fiddle," a four stringed, solid bodied, fretted electric Bass Guitar with a 30 ½" scale length.[5]. The change to a "guitar" form made the instrument easier to hold and transport, and the addition of guitar-style frets enabled bassists to play in tune more easily and made the new electric bass easier to learn. However, Tutmarc's inventions never caught the public imagination, and little further development of the instrument took place until the 1950s. In the 1950s, Leo Fender developed the first mass-produced electric bass. His Fender Precision Bass, introduced in 1951, became a widely copied industry standard. The Precision Bass (or "P-bass") evolved from a simple, uncontoured 'slab' body design similar to that of a Telecaster with a single coil pickup, to a contoured body design with beveled edges for comfort and a single four-pole "split coil pickup." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_guitar#1930s
Are washburn guitars good?
I own a Wasburn Dime V. I can honestly say that these guitars are not that bad. They have a good build, but the pick-ups tend to burnout quickly. I put EMG's in it and its sounds great. My advice would be to try one out and see how it feels.

What are symptoms of a slab leak?
A high water bill or wet spots in the yard are often the first indications of a slab leak. You could even come home one day and find water coming up from under the slab floor of your home. This is clearly the most obvious symptom of a slab leak. Once you think you have a leak, you need to determine if you have a leak anywhere in your home this will not be as severe as a slab leak. Check to make sure that your faucets, toilets, showers, hoses, ice-makers etc are not using water. Once you have determined that nothing visible is leaking, look at the water meter. The leak Indicator is a small triangle or star on the face of the meter, and if it is moving, even slowly, you have a leak somewhere. If you turn of the shut-off valve (often near the ground in a closet or near the hot water heater) to close it, and the leak indicator stops, then the leak is on a supply line to a fixture in your home. The shut-off valve often appears to go nowhere. It comes out of the wall, an perhaps splits off prior to going straight back into the wall or slab floor. If the leak indicator does not stop when you close the shut-off valve, the leak is on the service line into your home, and may or may not be under your slab, but is definitely under the ground. Movement on the leak indicator usually means a good deal of water is leaking, and you should see water coming from a wall or perhaps out of the floor. If you have no visible water, and constant movement on the indicator, a slab leak is a good bet. A leak detection company can help you find it, and get it repaired. More information us available at our blog for slab leak detection. It has more information on how to find slab leaks, what are slab leaks, and how to pay for slab leaks.

Should you pay for slab insurance when the insurance company say they will not pay a claim if the slab cracked and caused a leak?
If you have a history of slab leaks, slab insurance may be the way to go. If your leaks are caused by earthquakes, then you may want to have the insurance, but it is not the most common, overall, for a slab leak to be caused by shifting/cracked slab. Your decision should be based on whether you think there is a good chance that a slab leak will happen again.
How do you find a water leak under a slab?
Acoustic ultrasound, trace gas detection and thermal imaging can all be used to find slab leaks. For larger leaks or thicker concrete, Ground penetrating radar, and electronic correlation technology can be used. Or, of course, you can just start making holes, and stick your head under the ground to listen for the leaks...
