It is different, I'll grant you that.  :)  It blends very well with the top.

Awesome- the lizard-skin mudbucker!  You should dub it the Pterodactyl..

Well, I have to admit, it looked really weird just laying the bowl.  But after you got them mounted on the body,  I have to say they look great.  I didn't think I'd like them, but they work here Kenny.  Nice call on your part.

It's that rebel that lurks within us all, Bryan...  ;)

As I said, experimental... the material comes in a variety of styles... if anyone wants to find out more I'll post a link...

All I really want is a few decent days so I can get started on the fin, proper...

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

It looks fantastic as it is Kenny.

Asking from experience did you perhaps injest or smoke too much "happy shit" back in the 60's? lol

That is definitely a one of a kind bass. I really like what you've done with it.
