ScottR Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Wow. That thing is very art deco. The attention to detail is amazing...and there are a ton of details. The scarf joint looks very cool. Hopefully we'll get a bigger pik of that when it's done. Very nicely done! SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinhold Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 WOW! Really nice job, let's hope that purpleheart stays purple now, It would be a shame to have that all turn brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

low end fuzz Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 bad photo; i know. you can barely make out the cookie monster; but its all i got right now; the wood bridge wasnt workin for me, so i got 6 idividual saddles, mounted them on some birdseye with a ph tailpiece to keep those fat strings stretched hoping to play it by the end of the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

low end fuzz Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 buddy came and picked up his bass yesterday; so we took a couple of shots out front in the sun with a better camera; these are not the studio shots; this shot reminds me of Bee basses; full back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Like Turtles Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Amazing. Did you have to taper the neck stripe before gluing the neck up? I'd love to see some close-ups of the scarf joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
