Now I'm only left with cutting a new nut. The Tusq blanks have arrived.
I can't wait to plug it in  |

Now I am eagerly waiting for the new string anchors I have designed for this bass. Right now those mounted on are the prototypes.
My first impression about the sound and playability is that, you can tell with your eyes closed that it's a graphite neck. The way your thumb bounces off the strings it unmistakeably graphite-ish
Also, I like the combo Bartolini/Aguilar/graphite. But the coolest of all has got to be the fiber optics  I never knew I was a sucker for those gimmicks. I am ahahahaha
Anyway, thank you so much guys. I am very proud of this build and it's great to share it with you.
I'll get those sound clips uploaded soon |

Suraj, I made a mistake when I said that the bass will end up in Mumbai. It is going to Bangalore instead. Guess that's a bit far, eh? Heck, India is a big country |

I really like the 'private chamber' you made for the 9v in the control cavity. That's a neat touch. |

A quick search revealed he's from bangalore  definitely far far away. But I do visit bangalore on rare occasions, so someday, I will check this bass out..!! |
