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.

That is just lovely

Wow, that looks great!

Is that a reinforcing strip of some kind across the base of the fretboard?

It's a truss rod cover.

Yep.

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

Here's a quick video that I made of the Brooks EB-N.
(just me noodling on the new bass)

Beautiful work...and great playing!

Basvarken · August 31, 2019, 07:11:30 AM

Thank you Carlo.
I was actually saying to myself that I really should pick up the bass more often. Because my playing has become incredibly sloppy and rusty over the last few years, since I'm not in a band anymore.
Making this little video took me quite a few takes to get it acceptable...

Dave W · August 31, 2019, 04:25:08 PM

Sounds great, Rob.

Very nice...

Pilgrim · September 01, 2019, 03:13:24 PM

The bass sounds excellent, and the musician is darn good!

Nice!

The back looks like a little 4005.
