The solo FB extension is a nice addition and the bass has a nice and unique finish. Upton has been good ot many guys here and they are held in high esteem across the boards.

Mpoppitt, Pics soon to be updated...expect to see something along the lines of what you would see on the New Standard Basses though...not something as labor intesive as the antiquing we did on the Xu. We would go broke with the time it took to do that finish given the price tag we charge for the Lam Hawkes.
Lots of other very cool stuff in the next year still to come out though, you can be sure of that!
