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

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!

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.

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

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...  ;)
