That is sure gonna be one dramatic looking bass with that slab of CB on the top.

More good news!  Here's your bass in the big clamps:

  And out of the big clamps, with some rough shaping:

  There's that little stripe of Vermilion:

  Plus some scraps I found that must surely be from your bass:

WOW, that is getting each time more beautifull!
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

Wow... after the wait, that first picture of an assembled and shaped body would bring a tear to my eye. Heck, when I saw it I got a bit choked up!

I don't know... I don't like the color of the end pin.  You should start over.  LOL

Those scraps would make excellent boxes. I love your choices. Can't wait to see the rest!

i gotta give mica all the credit on the vermilion accents. looks great. can't wait to see her get hit with some varnish (uhh... the bass, not mica).

Very nice,  This will really be Awesome when done .______ I wonder if there has ever been a 34 inch scale version of an Alembic bass with this kind of  Violin shape ? I have wondered that before. Kind of like a Gibson EB-1 shape but built Alembic style with a neck through design with Series Electronics . You could wear it on a strap .  Fretless as well ____ Anybody know ? HMMMMMM____

Interesting idea sonicus that would look so cool a bit like an Alembic Beatle bass. :-)

Wolf, I was thinking that as well... A double omega, no horns bass... That will look cool!
I like how one of a sudden, pictures are flooding this thread! It's on it way Austin!!! And it is going to be jaw-dropping, that's for sure!
