It takes a very deep-rooted opinion to survive unexpressed

Thanks, Guys!  I think it's getting easier as I improve my jigs and technique.  Painting black today if the weather holds.

do you leave the headstocks blank for someone's decal.  if so is there a spot on the bass that identifies you as the builder. nice job btw.

Thanks, I put the buyer's name or avatar, bass ser.# and my signature in the neck pocket.  If the buyer wants it the period correct decal goes on after I take the 'bird's picture so as not to offend anyone.  I haven't had time to do a logo decal of my own but don't really care that much.  Ditto a headstock, difficut to come up with an original that is also a good design.

Why not go the "Cher" route! ;D  "CARLO" ;) :P  Simple and I think it works well

Hell, with a name like that you could be a high end fashion designer or something ;D

My first name is Cataldo, even more unique than Carlo, my middle name, so I'm going that way.  Just not a priority at this time.  I'm going to finish the basses that are ordered and reevaluate after that.  I may be totally burned out by then.

Carlo is a cool name, IMHO. Be careful on the burned out thing.  I have concerns about that too.
