Very cool, that is going to be one beautiful bass. How much does that thing weigh?

Its been 6 months and 8 days since I orderd Brownie. I spend every afternoon sitting on the porch waiting for the stork but he never comes, and I cry myself to sleep every night.

Hey Joe - your bass is now finished! I will post some images for you tomorrow, and we'll be able to ship on Monday, won't be long now.

Hurray!!!

dude, i HAVE to see some pics of that when you get it!  that is so cooool!

These are from when James was setting up your bass:  

 

  Do you want me to post finished pics for you on Monday evening, or do you want the rest to be a surprise?

Post'em for posterity.I'll try and resist the urge to check before it gets here. Thank you so much, you have made my whole year.

And most likely, at least several years to come! Looks like a real beauty, very tasteful. I might slightly prefer the back (or should I say the body?), but it's a tough call.
 
Congratulations.
