Love the grain and color! You've done justice to the concept of a V bass.

 That's simply fantastic Rob!

Are you sending Uwe some Spandex trousers or perhaps some Assless Chaps as a complimentary gift with purchase?  ;)

I like what you've done with the ferrules and the Tbird influence (risen central block). Very nice.
