Cool 'Site

Nice site and approach too.. Most importantly is the unselfish mention by you Jeff. It is nice to see how you guys get along in the DB field. This is not so common btw in the EB field.

BTW, Why does John list his Basses on the TB thread as Morellis?

The Morelli name was a bad idea on my part... he needs to change that. I kinda-sorta got the outline from a Morelli bass, but then I shrunk the corners, and changed the ff-hole pattern, and the arching, and Morelli doesn't even exist as a person anyway... it looks Brescian. So that's what I call it.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

I had it Brescian, then I updated and did a 180 somehow. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Nick and John -- great work. Site looks and "feels" great. Clean yet informative. You might say, "Quality Without Pretense."

+1.

Also, it's nice to see a bunch of folks in the biz complimenting each other on work and presentation. Keep it up, folks!

That's going a little far, why don't we just agree that he is a talented luthier.

Nick,
Your Brescian scroll/tuning machine combination is beautiful! Clean, original, nicely proportioned, and even the color/finish of the materials is pleasing.

It's a fine piece of modern design work. Does my heart good to see a piece of non-traditional, but still tastfully artisitic work. Nice Job!
