Every bass has to start somewhere, and it's usually the neck:
 

 
In this picture, it's ready for peghead veneers and a fingerboard.

Can't wait to see how this turns out.  I've been batting around the idea of a 10 string, but not gigging has taken away the motivation.

Sweet neck.  Really love it.

I found this guy getting glued up:
 

 
There will be more good stuff soon, now that all the tooling is prepared.

Me likes the Scorpion shape.  This is going to be a lovely instrument.  An homage to Greg Lake perhaps??

A TEN string Scorpian!!!?  I approve!  Strongly.
 
Yeah, the Scorpian was always one of my VERY favorite Alembic body shapes... classy, original, distinct, and functional.
 
Looks to be quite a beauty... and you WILL love the ebony in the neck!

Hey Todd-- nice neck .  That cocobolo isn't too shabby, either.

10 string is looking great- can't wait to crush a low b, gonna come down with the authority of Thor's hammer. Thx folks.

Hi Todd; welcome to the board!  And congrats on what looks to be a great bass!

Routed and sealed, scooting right along...

Cool!!!  I love that grain pattern, front and back!
