sounds good to me, i thought you could simply stack, glue and form some of that Rosewood i sent but the RW pieces would make good candidates for the woodbox too.
i kind of hate to see this thread end. it has been rather unique and enjoyable sharing my build with all the LBO posters and i know i have learned a lot. i certainly have gained a lot of respect for you Doctor Bill. thank you for building my bass.
in retrospect i would have only done one thing different that i can recall. i would not have put the Walnut on the back but put it where i originally wanted and that was under the Spalted Maple top. live and learn. it made sense to do it the way it was done and i thank you for the suggestion. i almost sent a Mahog back to put on but it is still setting here on the floor in its original packaging. i love the bass the way it is.
