Good one! And I thought I was being subtle!

All part of the service...

Here's the bass, curing happily on the bench. Just a couple more weeks.

sniper · July 24, 2011, 01:28:43 PM

is it my imagination or has that darkened a bit?

also, is that a drawing of how the neck is attached in the bottom of the pup routing?

one more thing, please sign it on the bottom of the control cavity. thank you

drbassman · July 24, 2011, 02:51:48 PM

Actually, I think it has darkened slightly, a faint patena. If you put it in the sun when you get it, I bet it'll age to a really cool vintage look. Maybe even get closer to the neck color.

No, that's not a drawing (I did that on paper). It's residual router marks! Yes, I'll sign the cavity in my lousy chicken scratch!

Tic, toc, tic, toc.......time is cruel!

hanging it in the sun will get done. Texas has plenty of sun.

good idea about the drawing.

thanks for the signature.

time is a bitch. the cat i baby set all summer so Fran could stay with her sister is dying and i am pissed. i kinda like that damned ol cat and being able to not put her to sleep is why i stayed in Texas till Fran got back. she is going blind, can't smell her food or water and can't jump up on the end table which is not much over 12" high. i can tell it hurts her to walk. just a damned ol cat right? i'm still pissed.

Callie and i were talking about time a couple of days ago and agreed it is not kind.

I hear ya about the cat. I get attached to all of the animals we've had over the years. It's hard to see them go, even the dopey cats.

I didn't shoot the control cavity. I was gonna oil it. I can shoot it if you want, it can be sanded with the body when it's ready.

sniper · July 24, 2011, 09:38:27 PM

oil is good, thanks.
