Sorry, Got backed up this week. Will try to get some pics. Ass for the headstock template, email me at jswoquinn@sbcglobal.net. It was traced originally from a 1978 Hamer B8S headstock, the ones with the big V shape.

Can't upload the pics but the frets are in the bass today!!!!! That leaves the control cavity to be routed, bridge and tailpiece installed and wired up. Then we'll see how it RAWKS!!!

I can see it now, band mates standing around waiting for Scott to tune his bass again......

I doubt it will be a problem as it is I have the most gear and am the first one set up tuned 4-5 basses in the stand and ready to go while everyone else is dinking around.  ;D

Just stopped in to Geoff Benge's repair shop today and look what was hanging on the wall!!!!!!! Man...It's even better sounding than my Tahiti Coral 2 pickup NR Mahogany 8 string. It's lighter. Just a few little things left to do. Install the fret dots, input jack and shave the neck down a bit. then, i install the veneer with inlay in the headstock and paint it yellowed nitro clear!!!! This will sound KILLER with my Band, THE TREESHAKERS!!!!!
