That is what I call a special bass! Very nice! In that last pic it looks like a praying mantis!

That thing is WAY too cool! Blows away any of those guitar of the week things Gibson made. I would love to have one. Nice concept, nice work!

I just remembered I have to do some measurements for one of the members(oops,sorry). Someone else ,early in the project said Praying mantis. Cool bug,cool bass i guess. Thanx.

Wow! That is beautiful.
I'm very impressed.
Can't wait to hear sound samples.

Great job. Sunlight really makes it look great.

Really cool!
I'm interested in those string guides. What did you use for those?

I'm the one who asked for measurements and basic tracing. Now that I see it completed with that cool pickguard, I definitely want to build one.

It really looks like this model was a bass project all along, not a bass version of a guitar.

Wow, turned out great Mike! Nice job. I could be convinced to play it, send it on down to NY!

OldManC · June 12, 2009, 09:28:52 AM

If that sounds as good as it looks you'll have one hell of a great sounding bass!

drbassman · June 12, 2009, 09:54:49 AM

I htink those G's are butt kicking pups. I'll bet she roars!

Denis · June 12, 2009, 12:26:43 PM

Wow, that is beautiful, strange and just plain cool all at once! Nice job!

And if work remains shy I bet there is a nice German Gentleman that would be willing to offer you a nice commission on a companion to that one...
