The latest Brooks bass build is almost finished. I still have to do some details, but here are some snapshots that I made this afternoon.
If you want to see the entire build proces check this site:

Wow, great design again. The Ric/ Epi Embassy inspired combo shape of the body is really nice. I think you hit well in your aim at something uniqye, also Lace pickups are'nt used that often for example. Good work once again Rob!

Thank you guys.
I am impressed with the Lace Alumitone humbuckers.
They're dead silent. And the highs are chrystal clear while the lows are tight and deep.
The wiring hasn't been soldered yet. I've only wired it directly to the jack output.
Will post a short video when it's fully functioning.

The fretboard inlays expanding and contracting are a nice touch. Congrats on another fine build.

I’m generally not fond of figured tops, but the flame with that blue looks spectacular.
Great work!

Found some time to take pictures now that the bass is completely finished.
Not entirely happy with the pics (the camera lense is not 100%)
But I've put the ones that are acceptable online.

Wow, that looks great!
Is that a reinforcing strip of some kind across the base of the fretboard?

It's a truss rod cover.

Really beautiful! I'm impressed by your handcraft, Rob. Are you gonna let us listen to her sing, too?
