Very nice, Rob!  You're really refining the Brooks look.  Dig the strap button on the heel.

Beauty!

Beauty! 

Agreed!!

Outstanding, work, Rob!

I like the idea of the switch location. No volume and tone controls or am I missing something?

You're not missing anything Dave.
No volume, no tone. Just the slide switch to choose between single coil, humbucker series or humbucker parallel.

Very interesting. Is this built for a customer or one you're going to sell?

Wow, your builds are top notch. Really good looking!

Yeah, I built this for a customer. It was his idea to have no pots on this bass.
He's the same guy who ordered a Brooks EB-RBL one year ago.
When he picked this one up yesterday he said he wants another one next year 😎

You need to sign him to a long term contract. 

Seriously, with beautiful work and a satisfied customer, your reputation will spread.

Very nice!

Beatiful! I like the clean look without front controls.
