I can already see how those patterns on top wood will end amazing when finished and the bridge get finaly installed

Beautiful bookmatched top, can't wait to see some finish added to this. Getting closer Jay, enjoy!

More pictures appearing here soon!

Hey Mica!
Are we any closer to spraying a little finish on her yet? I can't wait to get a peek at that Buckeye! Maybe a back of peghead shot!
Regards,
Jay R.

Feeling a picture fix comin on! The anticipation's killing me!

It's in finish:

But I keep showing up after it's all sanded and prepped for the next coat of finish, so it's not all shiny and pretty. At least I got to it today before Bob sanded the sides:

so at least you can see the sandwich well.

Wow! Even in sanding this bass is a head turner! I can see aquamarine colors mixed in, now that there's finish on her! Suggestions anyone on what to name her?!! Blue L.E.D.s were definatly the way to go with this wood!

Quick!..............Catch a pic before its sanded!! I love this wood! It's kinda like a tye- dye shirt effect!!

Success!

Gorgeousness.

jay_r · June 21, 2011, 08:35:39 PM

Gorgeousness indeed! .......Sorry, just picked my jaw up off the floor! Pictures are worth a thousand words!

Wow, that's fantastic! From the april 22nd pics I'm guessing this will have continuous wood backplates? They're really going to make this instrument!

Thanks Graeme,
Continuous backplates for sure! The electronics plate definatly has a lot of ribbons in it. It's a Wow bass for sure!

David Houck · June 22, 2011, 04:25:02 PM

Wow! The top and back pics are absolutely beautiful!

I'll take one of these with the modified Dragon Wing style headstock, please. Some nice red LEDs in the neck would also be nice. It was my wedding anniversary just earlier this month... I'm totally worth it.

Seriously a beautiful looking instrument. That top is fabulous. I'd love to A/B this against my Rogue which has the same wood recipe save the top/back; and the same basic electronics package.
